Observed X-ray spectra of hot gas in clusters, groups, and individual galaxies are commonly fit with a single-temperature thermal plasma model even though the beam may contain emission from components with different temperatures. Recently, Mazzotta et al. pointed out that thus derived T_spec can be significantly different from commonly used definitions of average temperature, such as emission- or emission measure-weighted T, and found an analytic expression for predicting T_spec for a mixture of plasma spectra with relatively hot temperatures (T>3 keV). In this Paper, we propose an algorithm which can accurately predict T_spec in a much wider range of temperatures (T>0.5 keV), and for essentially arbitrary abundance of heavy elements. This algorithm can be applied in the deprojection analysis of objects with the temperature and metallicity gradients, for correction of the PSF effects, for consistent comparison of numerical simulations of galaxy clusters and groups with the X-ray observations, and for estimating how emission from undetected components can bias the global X-ray spectral analysis.

Thermal plasma of solar atmosphere includes a wide range of temperatures. This plasma is often quantified, both in observations and models, by a differential emission measure (DEM). DEM is a distribution of the thermal electron density square over te
mperature. In observations, the DEM is computed along a line of sight, while in the modeling -- over an elementary volume element (voxel). This description of the multi-thermal plasma is convenient and widely used in the analysis and modeling of extreme ultraviolet emission (EUV), which has an optically thin character. However, there is no corresponding treatment in the radio domain, where optical depth of emission can be large, more than one emission mechanism are involved, and plasma effects are important. Here, we extend the theory of the thermal gyroresonance and free-free radio emissions in the classical mono-temperature Maxwellian plasma to the case of a multi-temperature plasma. The free-free component is computed using the DEM and temperature-dependent ionization states of coronal ions, contributions from collisions of electrons with neutral atoms, exact Gaunt factor, and the magnetic field effect. For the gyroresonant component, another measure of the multi-temperature plasma is used which describes the distribution of the thermal electron density over temperature. We give representative examples demonstrating important changes in the emission intensity and polarization due to considered effects. The theory is implemented in available computer code.
A generic method to estimate the relative feasibility of formation of high entropy compounds in a single phase, directly from first principles, is developed. As a first step, the relative formation abilities of 56 multi-component, AO, oxides were eva
luated. These were constructed from 5 cation combinations chosen from A={Ca, Co, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, Zn}. Candidates for multi-component oxides are predicted from descriptors related to the enthalpy and configurational entropy obtained from the mixing enthalpies of two component oxides. The utility of this approach is evaluated by comparing the predicted combinations with the experimentally realized entropy stabilized oxide, (MgCoCuNiZn)O. In the second step, Monte Carlo simulations are utilized to investigate the phase composition and local ionic segregation as a function of temperature. This approach allows for the evaluation of potential secondary phases, thereby making realistic predictions of novel multi-component compounds that can be synthesized.
We derive self-consistent formalism for the description of multi-component partially ionized solar plasma, by means of the coupled equations for the charged and neutral components for an arbitrary number of chemical species, and the radiation field.
All approximations and assumptions are carefully considered. Generalized Ohms law is derived for the single-fluid and two-fluid formalism. Our approach is analytical with some order-of-magnitude support calculations. After general equations are developed we particularize to some frequently considered cases as for the interaction of matter and radiation.
The signal measured by an astronomical spectrometer may be due to radiation from a multi-component mixture of plasmas with a range of physical properties (e.g. temperature, Doppler velocity). Confusion between multiple components may be exacerbated i
f the spectrometer sensor is illuminated by overlapping spectra dispersed from different slits, with each slit being exposed to radiation from a different portion of an extended astrophysical object. We use a compressed sensing method to robustly retrieve the different components. This method can be adopted for a variety of spectrometer configurations, including single-slit, multi-slit (e.g., the proposed MUlti-slit Solar Explorer mission; MUSE) and slot spectrometers (which produce overlappograms).
Meteorites with known orbital origins are key to our understanding of Solar System formation and the source of life on Earth. However, these pristine samples of space material are incredibly rare. Less than 40 of the 60,000 meteorites held in collect
ions around the world have known dynamical origins. Fireball networks have been developed globally in a unified effort to increase this number by using multiple observatories to record, triangulate, and dynamically analyse ablating meteoroids as they enter our atmosphere. The accuracy of the chosen meteoroid triangulation method directly influences the accuracy of the determined orbit and the likelihood of possible meteorite recovery. There are three leading techniques for meteoroid triangulation discussed in the literature: the Method of Planes, the Straight Line Least Squares method, and the Multi-Parameter Fit method. Here we describe an alternative method to meteoroid triangulation, called the Dynamic Trajectory Fit. This approach uses the meteoroids 3D dynamic equations of motion to fit a realistic trajectory directly to multi-sensor line-of-sight observations. This method has the ability to resolve fragmentation events, fit systematic observatory timing offsets, and determine mass estimates of the meteoroid along its observable trajectory. Through a comprehensive Monte-Carlo analysis of over 100,000 trajectory simulations, we find this new method to more accurately estimate meteoroid trajectories of slow entry events ($<$25,km/s) and events observed from low convergence angles ($<$10$^{circ}$) compared to existing meteoroid triangulation techniques. Additionally, we triangulate an observed fireball event with visible fragmentation using the various triangulation methods to show that the proposed Dynamic Trajectory Fit implementing fragmentation to best match the captured multi-sensor line-of-sight data.
