Analysis of Earth’s very short UV phenomena visible from orbit with the Mini-EUSO telescope<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mini-EUSO is a small UV telescope located on the International Space Station. It observes the night Earth and its atmosphere in the microsecond-millisecond range to understand the constant and variable emissions that would form the „background” for future orbital telescopes looking for UV fluorescence from Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays interacting in the air. These emissions are, in principle, an uncharted territory, since very few observations of this kind have been made in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the known phenomena, Mini-EUSO observes a lot of meteors, ordinary lightning and constant background from the ground, which varies with the terrain type. However, we see many variable sources and flashes of unknown origin and constant sources not correlated with maps of light emission taken in visible light. The vast amount of data allows for the following exercises\/research topics: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Event classification in Mini-EUSO \u2013 grouping the events into categories and trying to understand
    what are their properties, or even what they can be<\/li>
  2. Extended sources classification in Mini-EUSO \u2013 creating an algorithm to find extended sources
    in the data, distinguishing them from clouds, comparing them with Earth\u2019s maps and\/or classifying
    them<\/li>
  3. Analysing meteors found by Mini-EUSO \u2013 finding their parameters, such as velocities,
    lightcurves, radiants, etc.<\/li>
  4. Search for tracks in Mini-EUSO data \u2013 a search for strangelets and cosmic rays<\/li>
  5. Identifying Transient Luminous Events in Mini-EUSO \u2013 analysing possible TLEs that are not
    Elves<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n


    The implementation of the exercise requires basic programming and data analysis skills (knowledge of Python is preferred).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
