First Map of Coherent Low-Frequency Continuum Radiation in the Sky
Füllekrug, Martin; Koh, Kuang; Liu, Zhongjian; Mezentsev, Andrey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Lightning discharges and radio transmitters emit low‐frequency (∼3–300 kHz) electromagnetic waves with large electric field strengths and stable phases. This phase stability makes it possible to map the source locations ... -

The payload consisted of a suite of instruments designed to ... -
Library of Simulated Gamma-Ray Glows and Application to Previous Airborne Observations
Sarria, David Alexandre Stephan; Østgaard, Nikolai; Marisaldi, Martino; Lehtinen, Nikolai Grigorievich; Mezentsev, Andrey (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Gamma-Ray Glows (GRGs) are high energy radiation originating from thunderclouds, in the MeV energy regime, with typical duration of seconds to minutes, and sources extended over several to tens of square kilometers. GRGs ... -
