The observation was made with the In‐flight Lightning Damage Assessment System (ILDAS) on board ... -
Meter-scale spark X-ray spectrum statistics
Carlson, Brant Edward; Østgaard, Nikolai; Kochkin, Pavlo; Grøndahl, Øystein; Nisi, Ragnhild Schrøder; Weber, Kristian; Scherrer, Zack; LeCaptain, Kristian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-11-13)X-ray emission by sparks implies bremsstrahlung from a population of energetic electrons, but the details of this process remain a mystery. We present detailed statistical analysis of X-ray spectra detected by multiple ... -
