Augmented Hohmann Transfer for Spacecraft with Continuous-Thrust Propulsion System by Alessandro A. Quarta

“…The study of this so-called augmented Hohmann transfer, where the spacecraft uses both two tangential impulses (one at the beginning and one at the end of the flight) provided by a high-thrust propulsion system and the propulsive acceleration (during the flight) provided by a low-thrust propulsion system, is extended in this paper by considering a more general case where the spacecraft moves around a generic primary body and uses, along the transfer, a freely orientable propulsive acceleration vector with constant and assigned magnitude. …”

A Bayesian Hierarchical Approach to Quasi-Replicate Dataset Modelling by Hassan M. Aljohani, Robert G. Aykroyd

“…For example, there may be some parameters which are expected to be equal, some which can be ordered, and others which follow more complex relationships. The proposed modelling approach is motivated by and illustrated using a collection of 18 autoradiography line-source experiments, which are then used to determine details of a blur function used in the analysis of electron microscope autoradiography images. …”
