Theoretical models for the liquid-vapor and metal-nonmetal transitions of alkali fluids are investigated. Mean-field models are considered first but shown to be inadequate. An alternate approach is then studied in which each statistical…
The trajectory of an interplanetary spacecraft can be used to test gravitation in the Solar System. Its determination relies on radio tracking and is limited by the uncertainty on the spacecraft non-gravitational acceleration. The addition…
Plasma lensing is the refraction of low-frequency electromagnetic rays due to free electrons in the interstellar medium. Although the phenomenon has a distinct similarity to gravitational lensing, particularly in its mathematical…
