Title: Maximize the impacts of space science Authors: Wu, Ji; Bonnet, Roger Bibcode: 2017Natur.551..435W Altcode: 2017Natur.551..435. Put research goals first when prioritizing and managing national and international projects, urge Ji Wu and Roger Bonnet. Title: Inventing a Space Mission: The Story of the Herschel Space Observatory Authors: Minier, Vincent; Bonnet, Roger-Maurice; Bontems, Vincent; de Graauw, Thijs; Griffin, Matt; Helmich, Frank; Pilbratt, Göran; Volonte, Sergio Bibcode: 2017ism..book.....M Altcode: This book describes prominent technological achievements within a very successful space science mission: the Herschel space observatory. Focusing on the various processes of innovation it offers an analysis and discussion of the social, technological and scientific context of the mission that paved the way to its development. It addresses the key question raised by these processes in our modern society, i.e.: how knowledge management of innovation set the conditions for inventing the future? In that respect the book is based on a transdisciplinary analysis of the programmatic complexity of Herschel, with inputs from space scientists, managers, philosophers, and engineers. This book is addressed to decision makers, not only in space science, but also in other industries and sciences using or building large machines. It is also addressed to space engineers and scientists as well as students in science and management. Title: The Earth's Hydrological Cycle Authors: Bengtsson, Lennart; Bonnet, R. -M.; Calisto, M.; Destouni, G.; Gurney, R.; Johannessen, J.; Kerr, Y.; Lahoz, W. A.; Rast, M.

The past 50 years have allowed me to study the Sun with sounding rockets and satellites, revealing the complexity of our star, contributing to the understanding of its physics, and offering surprising manifestations of its behavior and of its effects on Earth. Building instruments for space astronomy, managing teams of space scientists and engineers, led me to become the science director of the European space agency between 1983 and 2001 where I formulated and managed the Horizon 2000 program, which led Europe to occupy the front row of world space science. The Jean Dominique Cassini Medal Lecture offers me an opportunity, to describe the most spectacular achievements of this long-term plan and to outline some basic principles for reaching success, including the essential role of international cooperation with shared partnership. The Lecture also identifies key problems and controversial issues that space astronomy and exploration will face in the 21st century. Title: History of Venus Observations Authors: Bonnet, Roger-Maurice; Grinspoon, David; Rossi, Angelo Pio Bibcode: 2013tucv.book....7B Altcode: Our image of Venus is that of a hellish, hot planet, permanently covered by fast-moving clouds, with its surface inaccessible to any Earth-based observer. But the perception and knowledge of our sister planet has been very different in the recent and more remote past.

We also discuss the level of accuracy that can be achieved, and review the different sources of emissions that can be used in that range, i.e. the interplanetary background, stars, and solar system bodies such as planets, moons, and comets. As most of the work presented here is based on comparisons with older datasets obtained by experiments that have been calibrated independently, we also analyse the consistency between existing datasets. Whenever possible, we suggest a correction factor if an older dataset is in disagreement with a more recent one. For example, a comparison of the interplanetary background data acquired by the two ultraviolet (UV) spectrometers on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 with models and other more recent datasets shows that it is indeed necessary to derive new calibration factors for these two instruments.

Bibcode: 2010IAUS..269..183B Altcode: Let me first express my warmest acknowledgements to Cesare Barbieri for having taken the initiative of convening this symposium. These two days offered a unique opportunity to celebrate the scientific achievements and the legacy of Galileo Galilei. It allowed not only celebrating the scientist but also the philosopher and the human being. It was a fantastic journey in the past, present and future exploration of our universe and a fantastic retrospection into the Renaissance world which no better city than Padova would be able to offer. During these two days we could listen to a well balanced and well prepared set of excellent papers and presentations. All participants should be congratulated for their very active interactions during the discussions in the aula and also during coffee and lunch breaks. Title: Next 50 years of space research Authors: Bonnet, R. -M. Bibcode: 2009IAUS..257....3B Altcode: Forecasting the next 50 years of space research is a dangerous game and a somewhat irresponsible action. Fortunately, the past 50 years have evidenced what remains in the realm of realism and of the feasible and what definitely belongs to the realm of utopia. Nevertheless those who, like me today, take the risk of forecasting such a relatively long time trend are sure of one thing: to be wrong! Title: ESSC-ESF Position Paper-Science-Driven Scenario for Space Exploration: Report from the European Space Sciences Committee (ESSC) Authors: Worms, Jean-Claude; Lammer, Helmut; Barucci, Antonella; Beebe, Reta; Bibring, Jean-Pierre; Blamont, Jacques; Blanc, Michel; Bonnet, Roger; Brucato, John R.; Chassefière, Eric; Coradini, Angioletta; Crawford, Ian; Ehrenfreund, Pascale; Falcke, Heino; Gerzer, Rupert; Grady, Monica; Grande, Manuel; Haerendel, Gerhard; Horneck, Gerda; Koch, Bernhard; Lobanov, Andreï; Lopez-Moreno, José J.; Marco, Robert; Norsk, Peter; Rothery, Dave; Swings, Jean-Pierre; Tropea, Cam; Ulamec, Stephan; Westall, Frances; Zarnecki, John Bibcode: 2009AsBio...9...23W Altcode: In 2005 the then ESA Directorate for Human Spaceflight, Microgravity and Exploration (D-HME) commissioned a study from the European Science Foundation's (ESF) European Space Sciences Committee (ESSC) to examine the science aspects of the Aurora Programme in preparation for the December 2005 Ministerial Conference of ESA Member States, held in Berlin. A first interim report was presented to ESA at the second stakeholders meeting on 30 and 31 May 2005. A second draft report was made available at the time of the final science stakeholders meeting on 16 September 2005 in order for ESA to use its recommendations to prepare the Executive proposal to the Ministerial Conference. The final ESSC report on that activity came a few months after the Ministerial Conference (June 2006) and attempted to capture some elements of the new situation after Berlin, and in the context of the reduction in NASA's budget that was taking place at that time; e.g., the postponement sine die of the Mars Sample Return mission. At the time of this study, ESSC made it clear to ESA that the timeline imposed prior to the Berlin Conference had not allowed for a proper consultation of the relevant science community and that this should be corrected in the near future. In response to that recommendation, ESSC was asked again in the summer of 2006 to initiate a broad consultation to define a science-driven scenario for the Aurora Programme. This exercise ran between October 2006 and May 2007. ESA provided the funding for staff support, publication costs, and costs related to meetings of a Steering Group, two meetings of a larger ad hoc group (7 and 8 December 2006 and 8 February 2007), and a final scientific workshop on 15 and 16 May 2007 in Athens. As a result of these meetings a draft report was produced and examined by the Ad Hoc Group. Following their endorsement of the report and its approval by the plenary meeting of the ESSC, the draft report was externally refereed, as is now normal practice with all ESSC-ESF reports, and amended accordingly. The Ad Hoc Group defined overarching scientific goals for Europe's exploration programme, dubbed "Emergence and co-evolution of life with its planetary environments," focusing on those targets that can ultimately be reached by humans, i.e., Mars, the Moon, and Near Earth Objects. Mars was further recognized as the focus of that programme, with Mars sample return as the recognized primary goal; furthermore the report clearly states that Europe should position itself as a major actor in defining and leading Mars sample return missions. The report is reproduced in this article. On 26 November 2008 the Ministers of ESA Member States decided to give a high strategic priority to the robotic exploration programme of Mars by funding the enhanced ExoMars mission component, in line therefore with the recommendations from this ESSC-ESF report.

In this paper, the status of knowledge in solar physics of roughly two decades ago is summarised, and the most recent developments in this very active field are shown, many of them achieved by means of space based missions. The Sun Earth connection is described and, finally, an outlook on future solar research is given.

Bibcode: 2004IAUS..223..311B Altcode: 2005IAUS..223..311B In the past 10 years, observations from space have generated a genuine revolution in our understanding of the Sun. Its interior is now "observed" down to a few % of the solar radius, its internal dynamics, its rotation and the large scale flows that are found to exist under its "surface" are studied continuously for over nearly a complete solar cycle. The mechanisms that underlie solar activity are better understood as well as their effects on the heliosphere and on the planets of the Solar System, in particular on the Earth. Title: Cassini-Huygens in the European context Authors: Bonnet, Roger-Maurice Bibcode: 2004ESASP1278..201B Altcode: 2004tide.conf..201B When it was selected, the Huygens probe was only the second planetary mission of ESA after the Giotto mission to Halley's comet. It has been a key element of stability for the Cassini mission, which was threatened with cancellation at several occasions. It has been a technological challenge to develop. The Huygens probe was selected in competition as a medium mission of the Horizon 2000 programme. It is unlikely that it will have a successor in the present budgetary context of ESA's science programme. It is also unlikely that it would be selected today in the framework of a programme for the exploration of the Solar System openly dedicated to the Moon and to Mars. Will Huygens be the only attempt of Europe ever to adopt bold goals and explore the Solar System beyond the orbit of Mars? The paper will also discuss this aspect of the Cassini-Huygens mission.

Bibcode: 2001Ap&SS.277..371B Altcode: Space Science helped the start of the open space race after the launch of Sputnik-1 in 1957. Conversely, the use of space vehicles during the cold war allowed the scientists to conduct many observations and make discoveries which have dramatically changed our views of our own Solar System and of the Universe. What will be the future of this activity in the next century, with the disappearance of the cold war justification and in the context of shrinking budgets? Is there a future for space exploration? For what benefit and how will space science programmes be conducted? Who will be the main players? Are there limits to our ability to explore? The pioneers of space research in the post-Sputnik-1 era, like J-L. Steinberg, had both an easier and a more difficult time than space scientists of today. Nevertheless, space science will only survive in the next century if it succeeds in reaching the deep interest and motivation of society at large.

M. Bibcode: 2001qarr.conf..205B Altcode: It is a great honour for me to be here, addressing some of the most talented and renowned astronomers of this century on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Referring to Lo Woltjer, age has no meaning. It is another honour to be the last to speak among so famous people and to close what has been a fascinating symposium. My task is not made easier by the title of this paper which sounds a little strange to celebrate the former Director General of one of the most prestigious Earth-bound astronomical observatories. However, the deep involvement and pioneering contribution of Lo Woltjer in the interpretation of the X-ray background, renders my talk a little easier. Title: Un bicristal mince déformé sous l'effet d'un réseau bipériodique de dislocations de misfitA thin bicrystal deformed by a two period network of misfit dislocations Authors: Bonnet, R. Bibcode: 1999CRASB.327.1331B Altcode: The elastic field of a planar two-period network of misfit dislocations parallel to the two free surfaces of a thin bimaterial is explicitly determined from the assumption of an isotropic elasticity for each crystal. A few calculations of normal stresses enable the elastic field relaxation to be illustrated for CoSi 2/Si(111). Title: Introductory Remarks Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

Bibcode: 1997CRASB.325..671B Altcode: European space research carried out by ESA, the European Space Agency, has enabled Europe to reclaim the leading positions it had conceded to the USA. But an eventual return to the situation that prevailed in the sixties, when European space research was totally dependent on US planning and technologies is to be feared. Actually, Europe is only spending a quarter of the amount NASA devotes to its space activities. A new approach is required if there is to be any hope of preserving the achievements of almost 40 years of efforts, which isstarting to bear fruit. Halt the budget erosion, improve the , methods of management and the execution of missions, start researches in 'high tech', avoid the dispersal of technical and scientific activities, coordinate national efforts with those of ESA: these necessary measures, taken as soon as possible, would allow Europe to keep its rank of a scientific, technological and cultural force.

Bibcode: 1997CRASB.324..337B Altcode: A semi-analytic Fourier series analysis of the elastic field of a dislocation placed along an interfacial ledge is proposed in the framework of a planar deformation. The analysis is based on the discretization of the limiting boundary conditions in stresses and displacements along the interface. It leads to solution of a system of linear equations expressing the elastic coupling between the two media. Title: Overview of the soho mission Authors: Bonnet, R. M.; Felici, F. Bibcode: 1997AdSpR..20.2207B Altcode: The SOHO spacecraft was launched on 2 December 1995, some 8 years after it started to be developed by European industry. Since 14 February 1996, SOHO is in a halo orbit around the Lagrangian point L1. It is continuously in view of the Sun, allowing uninterrupted sequences of observations of our star, a first in the development of solar physics. Its payload composed of 12 instruments is operating very successfully, providing for the first time a combined set of data on the whole of the Sun from the deep interior to the solar wind at L1, through the chromosphere and the corona. A brief history of the genesis and development of SOHO will be presented, as well as a general overview of the way the satellite and its payload perform. The most spectacular and recent results achieved by the payload will be mentioned and the future of the mission will be discussed. Title: The scientific achievements of Ph.

Bibcode: 1995PlR....15a...8B Altcode: 1995PlR....15R...8B The European Moon program, which includes a manned lunar base, the cultivation of the Moon's natural resources, and the exploration of the Moon's unknown resources is discussed. Two projects are currently being considered by ESA (European Space Agency): MORO (Moon Orbiting Observatory); and LEDA (Lunar European Demonstration Approach). MORO is a mission where a lunar orbiter studies all the different aspects of the Moon's surface and investigates its interior. LEDA entails a soft-land on the Moon's surface, with a possible payload of a lunar rover, a soil-processing facility, and a robotic arm. It is hoped that LEDA will provide the information necessary regarding the feasibility of the establishment of a manned lunar base. Title: European space science - In retrospect and in prospect Authors: Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1995ESABu..81....6B Altcode: At a time when all space progams have to redefine their goals following the end of the Cold War, and when some Member States are questioning whether the (modest) pace that marked the first 35 years of European space science should not be slower and the budget allocated to that activity reduced, it is useful to look back and assess whether ESA, and before it the European Space Research Organization (ESRO), have been good for science and have played the roles as outlined in their Conventions.

Bibcode: 1992eocm.rept...51B Altcode: A review on ESA's science program is presented. Five missions still in orbit are outlined: IUE, Giotto, Hipparcos, Hubble Space Telescope, and Ulysses. Objectives of the Horizon 2000 program are described. Solar system exploration in Horizon 2000 concerns: the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) and Cluster missions, Cassini/Huygens to Saturn and Titan, and the Rosetta Comet Nucleus Sample Return (CNSR). Astronomy in Horizon 2000 concerns ISO (Infrared Space Observatory), the X-ray Multimirror Mission (XMM) and FIRST (Far Infrared and Submillimeter Space Telescope). Medium sized missions of Horizon 2000 include INTEGRAL (International Gamma Ray Astrophysical Laboratory), MARSNET (a network of lander modules in Mars), and STEP (Satellite Test of the (weak) Equivalent Principle). Small missions include extension of Giotto and instruments to fly on Eureca, the Columbus Space Station, and the Polar Platform. Title: Messengers From Space Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

During the spacecraft's flight to Mars, the instrument gathered valuable data on tiny variations of solar irradiance over the course of six months. The data clearly show 5-min oscillations with relative amplitudes of about 10 exp -5 and with a well-defined pattern of discrete peaks in the power spectrum. The data of the red channel (it exhibited the lowest degradation of sensitivity over time) reveal remarkable temporal changes of amplitudes of discrete peaks within a period range of about 5 min, but with excellent frequency stability.

In general, the power spectrum lines reveal both quiet and active periods. The quiet periods are characterized by a brightness burst amplitude of (1.5-2) x 10 to the -7th and have a lifetime from about 10 hours to a few days. The active spectrum consists of a single burst or a sequence of bursts with an amplitude 30-50 times higher and lasting from a few hours to one day. Title: Observational cosmology within the ESA science programme. Authors: Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1990NCimC..13....1B Altcode: Several missions of the Science Programme of ESA aim at tackling issues of direct relevance to fundamental questions of modern cosmology. In this paper one is following the arrow of time on a simplified space-time diagram on which the means of observing back in the past the physical phenomena or the structures which occur or appear at various epochs in the evolution of the universe is identified. The author shows how ESA through its science missions can contribute to these observations in a unique way. The missions themselves are not described in detail but the relevant bibliographical references are given. Title: ESA plans for planetary exploration Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

P.; Domingo, V.; Kotov, V. A.; Kollath, Z.; Rashkovsky, D. N.; Toutain, T.; Vial, J. C.; Wehrli, C. Bibcode: 1988ESASP.286..359F Altcode: 1988ssls.rept..359F IPHIR (InterPlanetary Helioseismology by IRradiance measurements) is a solar irradiance experiment on the USSR planetary mission PHOBOS to Mars and its satellite Phobos. The experiment is a cooperative effort of PMOD/WRC, LPSP, SSD/ESA, KrAO and CRIP. The sensor is a three channel sunphotometer (SPM) which measures the solar spectral irradiance at 335, 500 and 865 nm with a precision of better than 1 ppm. A two axis solar sensor (TASS) is added to monitor the moderate solar pointing of the spacecraft. A microprocessor based data processing unit controls the sensor operation, acquires the data, and performs the data compression for the transmission at a mean rate of 1 bit/s. The two spacecrafts have been launched on July 7th and 12th, 1988. The experiment on PHOBOS I gathered data during 45 days before the S/C was lost, the one on PHOBOS II is still operating. The data recovery is excellent with virtually 100% coverage. Although the signal is disturbed by the pointing of the spacecraft the results of a preliminary analysis in the range of the 5-minutes oscillations demonstrate the improvement achievable due to the fact that the time series is truly continuous and the instrumental and sampling noise is very low. Title: GOLF: Global Oscillations at Low Frequencies for the SOHO mission Authors: Gabriel, A. H.; Bocchia, R.; Bonnet, R. M.; Cesarsky, C.; Christensen-Dalsgaard, J.; Dame, L.; Delache, Ph.; Deubner, F. L.; Foing, B.; Fossat, E. Bibcode: 1988sohi.rept...13G Altcode: The GOLF (global oscillations at low frequencies) SOHO (solar heliospheric observatory) mission is described. It aims to study the internal structure of the Sun by measuring the spectrum of free global oscillations. GOLF will measure both p and g mode oscillations, with emphasis on low order long period waves which penetrate the solar core. The instrument aims to measure frequencies between 10-7 and 6 10-3 Hz, with a sensitivity of 1 mm/s. The method involves an extension to space of the ground based technique for measuring the mean line-of-sight velocity of the solar surface. A sodium vapor resonance scattering filter is used in a longitudinal magnetic field to sample the two wings of the solar absorption line. The use of a modulating magnetic field provides a continuous internal calibration of the sensitivity. By adding an additional rotating polarizer, measurements are also made of the average solar magnetic field. Efforts are made to correct the data for the spurious effects caused by solar magnetic active regions.

H.; Martic, M.; Bonnet, R. M.; Bruner, M. E.; Acton, L. W.; Brown, W. A. Bibcode: 1988AdSpR...8k.153F Altcode: 1988AdSpR...8..153F Ultraviolet filtergrams and X ray spectra were taken by the joint LPSP/Lockheed rocket experiment TRC/XSST during four international campaigns involving also ground observations. XSST spectra in the range 8 to 97A were obtained on the 13 July 1982 flare. From the EUV filtergrams obtained by the TRC (Transition Region Camera), we could derive calibrated fluxes in the 220nm and 160 nm continua, in the Ly alpha and C IV lines, spanning a range of temperatures from medium photosphere (5 000K), temperature minimum (4 200K), and transition region (20 000 and 100 000 K). For active regions and a flare, the TRC fluxes are compared to other data and to corresponding calculations from semiempirical models. Finally, the scientific prospects of an advanced TRC/XSST payload onboard future missions are discussed. Title: Stellar Observations Within the ESA Science Program Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

Title: The Giotto Mission to Halley's Comet Authors: Reinhard, R.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1987ESASP.268...31R Altcode: 1987sass.conf...31R The Giotto spacecraft encountered Halley's comet on 14 March 1986, passing the nucleus at a distance of 600 km on the sunward side. Its scientific payload comprising a camera, three mass spectrometers for analysis of the neutrals, ions and dust, a photopolarimeter and various plasma experiments worked flawlessly and returned a wealth of data. Results on the nucleus, the composition of the cometary atmosphere, and the interaction of the solar wind plasma with the cometary ionosphere are described. Although damaged during the flyby, Giotto may be retargeted using an Earth swingby maneuver to encounter another comet.

Title: International cooperation in space within ESA Authors: Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1987AdSpR...7l.227B Altcode: 1987AdSpR...7..227B The various areas and missions involving international cooperation and coordination with ESA and its various space partners are reviewed. Special mention is made of cooperation with NASA which has been a privileged partner of ESA for many years. The past and future activities conducted within the Inter Agency Consultative Group (IACG) are also mentioned. It is shown that the apparent loss of independence which may result from extensive international cooperation can be corrected through the existence of a Long Term Plan.

Different scientific areas for which space techniques will provide substantial advance are reviewed. Some specific missions are described. Title: Observations by the Halley multicolor camera Authors: Keller, H. U.; Arpigny, C.; Barbieri, C.; Bonnet, R. M.; Cazes, S.; Coradini, M.; Cosmovici, C. B.; Curdt, W.; Delamere, W. A.; Huebner, W. F. Bibcode: 1986ehac....2..347K Altcode: The first image of comet Halley was taken by the multicolor camera (HMC) on 9 March from a distance of 23.6 million km. During the encounter HMC was switched on at 4:12 hr before closest approach CA. It took its first image at 3:06 h before CA. Overall 2043 images were taken in single sensor mode. The inner coma was observed using all 11 filters and polarizers. The transmission curves of the filters (except polarizers) are shown together with the sensitivity of the camera. At 6 min before CA HMC switched to multiple sensor mode taking 4 images almost simultaneously through the clear, blue, and red wideband filters. Only 2% of all data taken could be transmitted in 69 image sets. The last image showing details of the nuclear surface was taken from a slant distance of 1740 km and has a nominal resolution of 39 m per pixel. Title: Observations by the Halley Multicolour Camera Authors: Keller, H. U.; Arpigny, C.; Barbiert, C.; Bonnet, R. M.; Cazes, S.; Cordini, M.; Cosmovici, C. B.; Curdt, W.; Delamere, W.

Bibcode: 1986ESASP.250b.347K Altcode: 1986ehc2.conf..347K The Halley Multicolour Camera (HMC) was the only remote sensing instrument on board the Giotto spacecraft. HMC operated successfully up to the moment when a power surge on the spacecraft impaired operations of several instruments. The very last image frame of HMC was transmitted from about 12 s before closest approach. The first image of comet Halley was taken by HMC on 9 March. The observations of the HMC have consolidated our perception of the nature of comets. Title: Emission of Lyman-α radiation by solar coronal loops. II. Filtergram analysis. Authors: Tsiropoula, G.; Alissandrakis, C.; Bonnet, R. M.; Gouttebroze, P. Bibcode: 1986A&A...167..351T Altcode: The authors study active region loops, observed on Lα high resolution filtergrams obtained with a rocket borne instrument. Some formulae or diagrams are given for the computations of Lα and Hα intensities emitted by homogeneous loop models. The dimensions and emitted intensities of the observed loops being known, the authors determine the variations of temperature, pressure and density inside these objects under the assumption of constant temperature and hydrostatic equilibrium. The influence of temperature gradient and mass flow on the results is discussed, and an alternative model with radial temperature increase is envisaged. The case of an isolated loop with a larger diameter is also discussed. Title: New high-resolution rocket-ultraviolet filtergrams of the solar disc Authors: Foing, B.; Bonnet, R. -M.; Bruner, M. Bibcode: 1986A&A...162..292F Altcode: A rocket-borne solar ultraviolet telescope named Transition Region Camera was launched successfully for the third time on 13th July 1982. High quality calibrated photographic images of the sun were obtained at Lyman alpha and in the continuum at 160 nm and 220 nm. The angular resolution achieved is better than one arc second. A flare, active regions, sunspots, the 8 Mm mesostructure, the chromospheric network, bright UV grains and coronal loops were observed during the flight. The results are presented and the evolution with height in the solar atmosphere of the various structures observed is followed from one wavelength to the other, showing distinct differences. The value of the field's intensity of magnetic flux tubes is deduced from the observations. Title: European Space Telescope Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

M.; Cazes, S.; Coradini, M.; Cosmovici, C. B.; Delamere, W. A.; Huebner, W. F.; Hughes, D. W.; Jamar, C.; Malaise, D.; Reitsema, H. J.; Schmidt, H. U.; Schmidt, W. K. H.; Seige, P.; Whipple, F. L.; Wilhelm, K. Bibcode: 1986Natur.321..320K Altcode: The first imaging results from the Halley Multicolour Camera (HMC) during the Giotto fly-by of comet Halley provide images centred on the brightest part of the inner coma which show the silhouette of a large, solid and irregularly shaped cometary nucleus and jet-like dust activity visible in reflected sunlight. A first assessment of the data yields information on the dimensions and shape of the nucleus and dust emission activity. The nucleus is at least 15 km long and ~10 km wide; its geometrical albedo is very low (<4%). Only minor parts of the surface are active, most of it beirig covered by non-volatile material. Dust jets dominate the inner coma and are restricted to the sub-solar hemisphere. Preliminary interpretations of these observations are presented. The parameters of the fly-by trajectory relative to the nucleus are given. Title: The Giotto Halley multicolor camera Authors: Schmidt, W. K. H.; Keller, H. U.; Wilhelm, K.; Arpigny, C.; Barbieri, C.; Biermann, L.; Bonnet, R. M.; Cazes, S.; Cosmovici, C. B.; Delamere, W. A. Bibcode: 1986gmis.rept..149S Altcode: The Halley Multicolor Camera (HMC) is a Ritchey-Chretien type Cassegrain telescope (1000 mm focal length) with CCD imagers in the focal plane. It is suspended in a revolving mount so that the center of its field of view can be moved freely in a half plane that contains the spin axis of the spacecraft. Together with the spinning motion of the spacecraft, this mobility enables the HMC to image any part of the whole 4 pi solid angle of the sky. The line-scan imaging technique uses the spacecraft/s spin for one dimension and the length of the line for the other dimension of the image. Four line sensors with filters of different color bands take images almost simultaneously. Onboard electronics controlled by three microprocessors operate the camera almost autonomously. The image of the comet will be sought at the beginning of the encounter operations. Having found it, the camera will switch to the imaging mode. The contents of the images are to be telemetered to ground in sections and at the same time used onboard to update the parameters that describe the spacecraft/s trajectory relative to the cometary nucleus. With this information, the HMC/s field of view will be able to track the center of the comet/s image. Title: A Comparison of Photospheric Electric Current and Ultraviolet and X-Ray Emission in a Solar Active Region Authors: Haisch, B. M.; Bruner, M. E.; Hagyard, M. J.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1986ApJ...300..428H Altcode: This paper presents an extensive set of coordinated observations of a solar active region, taking into account spectroheliograms obtained with the aid of the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) Ultraviolet Spectrometer Polarimeter (UVSP) instrument, SMM soft X-ray polychromator (XRP) raster maps, and high spatial resolution ultraviolet images of the sun in Lyman-alpha and in the 1600 A continuum. These data span together the upper solar atmosphere from the temperature minimum to the corona. The data are compared to maps of the inferred photospheric electric current derived from the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) vector magnetograph observations. Some empirical correlation is found between regions of inferred electric current density and the brightest features in the ultraviolet continuum and to a lesser extent those seen in Lyman-alpha within an active region. Title: XSST/TRC rocket observations of 13 July 1982 flare. Authors: Foing, B. H.; Bonnet, R. M.; Dame, L.; Bruner, M.; Acton, L. W.; Brown, W. A. Bibcode: 1986lasf.conf..319F Altcode: 1986lasf.symp..319F The authors analyse the UV filtergrams of the 13 July 1982 solar flare, taken by the Transition Region Camera, during the third flight of the joint Lockheed/LPSP rocket experiment XSST/TRC. From the calibrated intensities of the flare components, they estimate directly the Lyα line flux (from 230 to 650×103erg cm-2s-1sr-1), differentially the C IV line flux (from 30 to 130×103erg cm-2s-1sr-1), and the excess of 160 nm continuum temperature brightness (from 100 to 250K) over the underlying plage. No detectable variation is observed in the 220-nm channel formed in the medium photosphere. These values are small compared to other observed or calculated equivalent quantities from Machado model of flare F1. The authors estimate the corresponding power required to heat the temperature minimum accordingly over the 1200 Mm2 area, to be 3.6×1025erg s-1 for this small X-ray C6 flare, 7 minutes after the ground based observed flare maximum. Title: New ultra-violet filtergrams and results from the transition region camera rocket experiment Authors: Damé, L.; Foing, B. H.; Martic, M.; Bruner, M.; Brown, W.; Decaudin, M.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1986AdSpR...6h.273D Altcode: 1986AdSpR...6..273D The rocket-borne solar ultra-violet telescope named Transition Region Camera (T.R.C.) was launched successfully for the fourth time on 25th october 1985. Calibrated photographic images of the sun were obtained at Lyman alpha and in two adjacent bands at 156 nm and 169 nm. The angular resolution achieved was equivalent to 0.7 arcsec. Fine structures in Lyman alpha were observed in the network and above supergranular cells. From the 156 nm filtergram (including a strong C IV contribution) and the 169 nm filtergram, we study the differential contribution of the C IV lines and of the continuum emission, from the quiet sun, an active region and at the limb. Title: The Giotto Halley Multicolour Camera. Authors: Schmidt, W. K. H.; Keller, H. U.; Wilhelm, K.; Arpigny, C.; Barbieri, C.; Biermann, L.; Bonnet, R. M.; Cazes, S.; Cosmovici, C. B.; Delamere, W.

Bibcode: 1986ESASP1070..149S Altcode: In recent decades, Whipple's "dirty snowball" picture of the cometary nucleus has become widely, but not universally accepted. Proof of the nucleus' existence and study of its properties require pictures in various colour bands, preferably together with other information. Acquisition of these pictures is the task of Halley Multicolour Camera (HMC), which is described in detail. Title: Astronomie Flammarion, Vols. 1+2.

Bibcode: 1984A&A...136..133F Altcode: The high resolution ultraviolet filtergrams obtained with the Transition Region Camera (a 10 cm aperture telescope equipped with broad-band filters and a film cassette) have been statistically analyzed, using two different methods of Fourier filtering (the Optical and the Numerical Fourier Analysis) and autocorrelation of one-dimensional scans of network and active disk areas. The statistical properties and average dimensions of the structures characteristic of ultraviolet solar filtergrams near temperature minimum are deduced. The dimensions of the ultraviolet cell grains characteristic of the 160 nm pictures are found to be of the order of 0.6 Mm (i.e., 0.9 arcsec with an interdistance 1.4 Mm). The network and plage elements are brighter and broader (about 1.0 Mm). An intermediate scale of about 8 Mm is found in the cells which is discussed in terms of the velocity field associated with the 3 min chromospheric oscillations. A scale of about 14 Mm is found in plage areas, which is related to the structure of the network in active regions. Title: On the origin of the discrete character of the solar disk brightness in the 160 nanometer continuum Authors: Foing, B.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1984ApJ...279..848F Altcode: The performance of the Transition Region Camera (TRC) is evaluated with respect to spatial resolution in order to arrive at a more refined description of the 160 nm features. The origins of the ultraviolet-bright grains observed in the interior of the supergranulation cells and of the bright elements that delineate the network are investigated. It is believed that the network elements and the cell grains have different origins. The network elements may appear bright as a consequence of the Wilson effect at the top of concentrated magnetic flux tubes. The magnetic field intensity deduced on the assumption that the tubes are thermalized with their surroundings is 120 G, which corresponds to an intensity of 1.5 kG at the photospheric level. The cell grains cannot be of magnetic origin because the magnetic field intensity they would require would be too high. It is suggested that they are the trace of a local dissipation of energy contained in periodic motions. Title: Magnetic Flux Tubes and Local Heating in the Temperature Minimum Region Authors: Foing, B. H.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1984ssdp.conf..291F Altcode: The photometry and statistical analysis of 160 nm solar filtergrams obtained by the Transition Region Camera, indicate that the solar surface radiates at the temperature minimum a substantial portion from features at the arcsec scale both in the network and inside the supergranular cells. The authors investigate the origins of the ultraviolet bright features in the cells and the network elements.

Bibcode: 1984SPIE..445..318D Altcode: Large space-borne telescopes are limited in their ultraviolet resolution by their large and medium scale (20 - 30 cm) surface irregularities (ripples). The authors present the principle, instrumentation and first results of a new interferometric method using a Michelson-Twyman configuration (diverging light beams) that allows to engrave on deep U.V. photoresists a phase compensating plate which permit to revocer, partly or entirely, the diffraction limited resolution of the telescope. The corrector that they obtain is a phase compensating plate in reflection with highs and lows on its surface perfectly conjugated in negative, with the primary mirror surface irregularities. Title: Results from the transition region camera Authors: Foing, B. H.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1984AdSpR...4h..43F Altcode: 1984AdSpR...4...43F Three series of high resolution ultra-violet pictures of the Sun have been obtained during the three flights of rocket experiment T.R.C. (Transition Region Camera) which took place on 3 July 1979, 23 September 1980 and 13 July 1982. These pictures reveal many structures in Ly alpha and ultraviolet continua at 160 nm and 220 nm. The scientific objectives, instrumentation, flight conditions and campaigns of simultaneous observations are described.

The contribution of T.R.C. to solar physics is discussed in the framework of chromospheric multicomponent models, magnetic flux tubes, local heating and periodic structures in the chromosphere. Title: Helioseismology in the Future Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

We discuss the limitations which presently prevent helioseismology from reaching its ultimate goal. We finally present a list of projects which either are already underway or that are planned for the near future, and we conclude by showing the crucial role that space observations may play in the future.

Bibcode: 1983BAAS...15..620F Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: Solar-terrestrial influence Authors: Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1983uias.book...37B Altcode: Solar phenomena are examined to assess the extent of knowledge of the effect of the sun on the earth. The earth is gravitationally coupled to the sun, imbedded in the solar corona and thereby subject to particle bombardment and the influence of the solar magnetic field, and is directly illuminated by the sun at a rate of 1.367 kW/sq m. The coronal density is 10 particles/cu cm at the earth's distance from the sun, and the solar magnetic field is 1/10,000 what it is at the solar surface. Particle bombardment from the sun causes auroral displays, while other particles are diverted by the terrestrial magnetosphere and form a bow shock. Incoming solar protons dissociate NO in the upper atmosphere and form ozone. The ability of the earth's atmosphere at any time to absorb the total incoming solar radiation is a determining factor in the heating of the atmosphere. The heated atmosphere expands and may slow down satellites in LEO, while no precise modelling has yet been accomplished for the relationship between heating and climatic variations.

M.; Decaudin, M.; Foing, B.; Bruner, M.; Acton, L. W.; Brown, W. A. Bibcode: 1982A&A...111..125B Altcode: A new series of high resolution pictures of the sun has been obtained during the second flight of the Transition Region Camera which occurred on September 23, 1980. The qualitative analysis of the results indicates that a substantial portion of the solar surface at the temperature minimum radiates in non-magnetic regions and from features below 1 arcsec in size. Wave patterns are observed on the 160 nm temperature minimum pictures. They are absent on the Lyman alpha pictures. Their physical characteristics are compatible with those of gravitational and acoustic waves generated by exploding granules.

Bibcode: 1982SoPh...75..139B Altcode: High-resolution filtergrams in Lα have been obtained with a rocket borne instrument and evidence several loop shaped structures which can be seen as absorption features over the solar surface. The optical thickness of these coronal structures is measured with respect to nearby unabsorbed disk features. Their shape and dimension being known from the images, the determination of the neutral hydrogen temperature and density is possible. It is found that temperatures below 105 K and densities of a few 104 hydrogen atoms cm−3 are compatible with the opacities observed in the structures.

Bibcode: 1981SSRv...29..131B Altcode: This review deals with the pointed instrumentation placed onboard the NASA Orbiting Solar Observatory No. 8 which was successfully launched in June 1975 and operated continuously for more than 3 years. In the first part of the review a brief description of the instrumentation and of its capabilities is given together with an appreciation of how it performed into orbit. In particular, the loss in photometric sensitivity which affected the pointed instruments is analyzed, and its possible origins are discussed. The most important scientific achievements are then reviewed in detail. The high spectral resolution of the OSO-8 pointed instruments allowed to make a real break through in the investigation of the heating mechanisms of the chromosphere and corona, by showing that the energy contained in the 150 300 s oscillations is 2 to 3 orders of magnitude too low to accomodate the radiative losses of these layers. Line profile and power spectrum analysis, together with the variation over the disk and in height of the non thermal velocities lend more support to the concept of a chromosphere and transition region being magnetically heated. The dynamics of the upper solar atmosphere has been studied at altitudes never achieved before. The original idea of modelling chromospheric structures through the exact representation of simultaneous Lα, Mg ii and Ca ii profiles looks today a bit naive after OSO-8 has shown that the detailed interpretation of Lα in particular is impossible in the assumption of a model in hydrostatic equilibrium. The physical structure of sunspots, prominences and of a few active regions has been investigated through the analysis of the profiles observed for the first time in these features. After OSO-8 our view of a homogeneous static chromosphere in hydrostatic equilibrium nearly completely collapses, and the answer to still unanswered questions is awaiting the advent of such new instruments as the SOT and the GRIST which will possess the required sub arc second capability.

A Black Brant rocket was used to obtain 1-arc sec resolution L-alpha pictures of the sun, which revealed small scale features not seen previously at this wavelength, that delineate the geometry of the magnetic field in the chromosphere and in the corona. It is concluded that these observations might provide a new way of observing the upper chromosphere and corona, and that they provide direct evidence of the inhomogeneous character of the chromosphere and of the dominant role of the magnetic field Title: The contribution of OSO-8 to solar physics from data analyzed as of May 1979.

Bibcode: 1978ApJ...223L..55L Altcode: Resolved solar H I Ly-alpha and -beta profiles have been recorded by the French LPSP experiment on OSO 8. Intensity observations at the center and the limb have been combined to obtain flux-equivalent profiles (5.46 plus or minus 30 percent and 0.078 plus or minus 25 percent erg/sq cm per sec for Ly-alpha and -beta, respectively). Comparison of the flux profiles with unresolved calibration rocket profiles allows one to obtain an absolute calibration. Title: The LPSP instrument on OSO 8. II. In-flight performance and preliminary results. Authors: Bonnet, R. M.; Lemaire, P.; Vial, J. C.; Artzner, G.; Gouttebroze, P.; Jouchoux, A.; Leibacher, J. W.; Skumanich, A.; Vidal-Madjar, A. Bibcode: 1978ApJ...221.1032B Altcode: The paper describes the in-flight performance for the first 18 months of operation of the LPSP (Laboratoire de Physique Stellaire et Planetaire) instrument incorporated in the OSO 8 launched June 1975. By means of the instrument, an absolute pointing accuracy of nearly one second was achieved in orbit during real-time operations. The instrument uses a Cassegrain telescope and a spectrometer simultaneously observing six wavelengths. In-flight performance is discussed with attention to angular resolution, spectral resolution, dispersion and grating mechanism (spectral scanner) stability, scattered light background and dark current, photometric standardization, and absolute calibration. Real-time operation and problems are considered with reference to pointing system problems, target acquisition, and L-alpha modulation. Preliminary results involving the observational program, quiet sun and chromospheric studies, quiet chromospheric oscillation and transients, sunspots and active regions, prominences, and aeronomy investigations are reported.

Bibcode: 1978BAAS...10..441S Altcode: No abstract at ADS Title: High Resolution UV Solar Spectroscopy Authors: Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1978SSRv...21..379B Altcode: The advantages of high resolution UV spectroscopy for the investigation of the solar atmosphere are stressed while the limitations in the areas of instrumentation and diagnosis are discussed. The recent achievements (made essentially by Skylab, OSO-8 and rocket instruments) are reviewed and discussed. It is shown that high resolution UV solar spectroscopy has improved our knowledge of the dynamics of the upper layers of the solar atmosphere. Within the present instrument capabilities the birth of coronal expansion is shown to take place at the top of the transition region. The existence of downward flows over the bright regions of the network is evidenced from redshifts or transition region and chromospheric optically thin lines: velocities as large as 22 km s-1 have been measured in O vi. Short period waves (95 s) have been detected in lines of Si ii at chromospheric levels in addition to the well known 300s and 180 s photospheric and chromospheric oscillations. There is strong evidence that optically thin chromospheric and transition region lines are broadened by a nonthermal velocity component which is maximum at 1.3 × 105 K and decreases at higher temperatures. This may indicate the presence of unresolved acoustic or magnetohydrodynamic waves so oftenly set fourth as the source of chromospheric and coronal heating. Contradictions between the various results are pointed out and discussed. They might be attributed to the different angular resolution of the instruments, a key parameter for future space observations. It is suggested that the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) and the Grazing Incidence Solar Telescope (GRIST) which are presently under phase A studies at NASA and ESA be considered as a tandem of instruments to fly on Spacelab in the 1980's. Both their angular and spectral resolution appear sufficient to resolve most of the problems under discussion today. Title: Solar ultraviolet Doppler camera. Authors: Bruner, E. C.; Bonnet, R. M.

Bibcode: 1977AnG....33..409B Altcode: The paper deals mainly with the UV part of the solar spectrum which interacts effectively with the atmosphere of our planet. The model of the external layers of the solar atmosphere is described briefly and it is shown that each region of the sun's atmosphere emits radiation at different wavelengths. Three main features govern the emission: the supergranulation, the corona, and active regions. The morphology of the disk is described from observations made with balloons, rockets and satellites. The short and long term variability of the solar flux is studied and it is suggested that the long term variability may be of greater importance for climatology. Finally, two indexes currently used by atmospherists, the 10.7 cm flux and Wolf number, are discussed and recommended to be used with some caution.

The LPSP instrument, which consists of two subassemblies, a Cassegrainian telescope and a spectrometer, is described; main optical characteristics, including spectral lines observed, and means of correcting aberrations and eliminating stray light, are given for the spectrometer. Detectors and their capacities, and various filter wheel configurations available for detection of polarized light and discrimination of low orders of diffraction, are also described. The observation program, which consists of a study of solar prominences, flares, and dynamic and three-dimensional physical structures of the chromosphere, as well as determination of seasonal variations of some gases in earth's atmosphere, is reviewed. A detailed account of pre-launch tests and calibration procedures is also given. Title: Hourly variations in O VI P Cygni profiles of hot stars. Authors: York, D.

The lines of sight to Zeta Puppis and Gamma Cassiopeiae. Authors: Vidal-Madjar, A.; Laurent, C.; Bonnet, R. M.; York, D. G. Bibcode: 1977ApJ...211...91V Altcode: An extensive set of measurements of the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen in the interstellar medium has been undertaken. The general observing program is described along with the data reduction techniques used to separate the complex deuterium and hydrogen profiles, and the results of the measurements for two stars, Zeta Pup and Gamma Cas. For Gamma Cas, log N(D)/N(H) is found to be approximately -4.8, in agreement with previous measurements. For Zeta Pup, a complicated structure of absorbing clouds in the interstellar medium is inferred. The best value of log N(D)/N(H) is about -4.6 for each of two components. One component is probably more complex than can be demonstrated directly at the resolution employed, and log N(D)N(H) could be -4.0 or larger in this component.

M.; Lemaire, P.; Vial, J. C.; Roble, R. G.; Mankin, W. G. Bibcode: 1976atps.proc..117V Altcode: The French instrument aboard OSO-8 is a multichannel, high-resolution UV spectrometer for observing very small areas of the sun simultaneously in the Ca II, Mg II, Lyman alpha, and Lyman beta lines. By observing extinction through the earth atmosphere, the spectrometer studies the three-dimensional structure and the composition of the atmosphere. The quality of data appears to give a 500 m vertical resolution both for O3 and O2; O3 is observed primarily from 55 to 75 km, while O2 is observed from 85 to 200 km. Data on the hydrogen absorption present a new method for evaluating exospheric temperature and atomic hydrogen density at each point of the exobase. Title: Stigmatic spectra of the sun between 1200 Å and 2100 Å. Authors: Samain, D.; Bonnet, R. M.; Gayet, R.; Lizambert, C. Bibcode: 1975A&A....39...71S Altcode: Stigmatic spectra of the sun from 1200 to 2100 A, with spatial resolution on the disk of 7 arc sec, have been obtained during a rocket flight on April 17, 1973 from Kourou, French Guiana. The mean spectral resolution achieved is 0.4A. Absolute intensities and center-to-limb variations of the solar UV continuum have been measured on both sides of the temperature minimum. They locate the position of this minimum around 1580 A with a value of 4430 (plus or minus 50) K. It is shown that these are upper limits and are not necessarily incompatible with infrared observations which lead to lower values. It is shown that an extra opacity is required to represent the observations down to, at least, 1580 A. Title: Identifications of HDE stars Authors: Ochsenbein, F.; Bonnet, R.

Bibcode: 1975esm..meet...93B Altcode: The cited solar-physics programs are grouped into two categories: those that have already been initiated or approved and those that are planned for the Space Shuttle era. The first category includes the OSO 1 mission, the French satellite D2B, and the NASA-ESRO International Sun Earth Explorer (ISEE) series. The second category includes the Solar Maximum Mission, scheduled for 1977, and the Solar Telescope Cluster, planned for the late 1980's. The goals of each program are outlined, and the instruments to be used are briefly described. Title: Future programs in solar physics from space. Authors: Bonnet, R. M.

Authors: Gros, M.; Sacotte, D.; Praderie, F.; Bonnet, R. M. Bibcode: 1973A&A....27..167G Altcode: Summary. Observations of Lep, y Gem, cc C Ma, fi Aur, fi U Ma, fi Car, cc Dra obtained by the Wisconsin Experiment Package on the OAO II satellite are reduced to obtain the ultraviolet energy distribution of these stars. For each star we compare, with the help of classical model atmospheres, theoretical and observed ultraviolet spectra. We offer an explanation for the non observation of the Sii 1520A photoionization discontinuity by studying the evolution of the synthetic spectrum in this spectral range with temperature and abundances. In the range 2200-2500 A we find that the theoretical fluxes tend to be larger than the observed ones; we suggest that a continuous or pseudo- continuous opacity could be present for stars as hot as the A0 type. By comparison between the observed and the synthetic spectra we perform some line identification between 1000 and 3000 A. We finally estimate the line blocking between 2300 and 3000A for cc C Ma.

Bibcode: 1968SoPh....3...64B Altcode: We succeeded in several attempts at measuring the solar limb-darkening in the continuous spectrum between 1800 Å and 2900 Å. Good spectroheliograms were obtained during a rocket flight in November 1964 and during a balloon flight in October 1966 at 2190 Å, 2665 Å, 2885 Å, and 1980 Å, 2235 Å respectively. A rocket flown at the beginning of 1967 provided excellent spectra allowing the measurement of center-to-limb variation in the continuum and lines from 1800 Å to 2800 Å.
