Abstract

Tracking Ultraviolet Setup (TUS) detector is a detector of ultraviolet (UV) radiation of the atmosphere in the wavelength range of 300–400 nm (near-ultraviolet) with high sensitivity (tens of photons emitted within the solid angle of 10^–4 sr in 0.8 μs), which operated for a year and a half aboard the Lomonosov satellite. The TUS telescope had a multipurpose operational program, which made it possible to detect UV flashes from the shortest ones created by extensive air showers generated by cosmic rays to long ones, up to 1 s, created by meteors. Among these various phenomena, most often are flashes from lightning strikes, both directly creating a glow and causing the development of secondary discharges in the atmosphere, in the upper atmosphere and in the ionosphere. These discharges differ in both nature and phenomenology—in particular, they have different durations and luminosities.

使用罗蒙诺索夫卫星上的TUS探测器研究近紫外区域的大气辐射闪光

摘要

跟踪紫外线设置（TUS）检测器是一种波长范围为300–400 nm（近紫外）的大气中紫外线（UV）辐射的检测器，具有高灵敏度（在10 ^–4 sr立体角内发射数十个光子）在0.8μs的时间内），在罗蒙诺索夫号上运行了一年半卫星。TUS望远镜有一个多功能的操作程序，该程序可以检测从由宇宙射线产生的大范围风淋产生的最短射线到由流星产生的长达1 s的长距离紫外射线。在这些各种现象中，最常见的是雷击产生的闪光，既直接产生辉光，又引起大气，高层大气和电离层中二次放电的发展。这些放电的性质和现象都不同，特别是它们具有不同的持续时间和发光度。
