If you see a meteor... notice whether it leaves a persistent train — that is, an ionized gas trail that glows for a few seconds after the meteor has passed.

He won't be looking for elusive infrared photons, but instead will be taking rapid - fire images of plasma loops — coils of ionized gas trapped in billowing magnetic fields — arcing off the sun and peeking out from behind the moon.

The gas in the accretion disk is hot enough for some of its atoms to lose electrons and become ionized — that is, to take on a positive electric charge.

For most people, the risk of absorbing excess ionizing radiation comes mainly through breathing radon, a gas released by uranium and thorium in soils.

A team led by scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory has reached another milestone in developing a promising technology for accelerating particles to high energies in short distances: They created a tiny tube of hot, ionized gas, or plasma, in which the particles remain tightly focused as they fly through it.

Maiolino's team used 30 of ALMA's dishes to look for the faint glow of ionized carbon — a marker for the sort of cool gas from which stars form.

Chris Carr of Imperial College London, the principal investigator for a suite of instruments called the Rosetta Plasma Consortium, says he hopes theirs may be the first on the spacecraft to actually detect the comet as solar wind begins to blow gas off its surface and the sun's ultraviolet light ionizes it, leaving a trail of plasma.

We don't know for sure, but of the, what I call, baryonic matter, which is 5 percent of the total mass energy density of the universe, one would guess about 90 or 95 percent of it, is in the form of ionized gas called plasma.

Direct photographs of a meteor's trail (the column of ionized gases formed by the passage of a meteoric body through the upper atmosphere) taken at two points on the Earth's surface several kilometres apart yield the most accurate data for tracing the path of a meteor.

The team tracked the heat of the third outburst for almost two weeks after its discovery to investigate how volcanoes influence Io's atmosphere and how these eruptions feed a doughnut of ionized gas - the Io plasma torus - that surrounds Jupiter near Io's orbit.

It used an ionized gas called a plasma for fuel and had magnets on the outside to create a magnetic field to contain the plasma and keep it away from the walls.

The team used MagAO and VisAO to look for red light from ionized hydrogen gas to trace how the strong UV light and wind from Theta 1 Ori C affects the disks around its neighboring stars.

The «Local Bubble» of low - density, hot and ionized gas, is actually part of a tube - like chimney that extends through the local region of the spiral disk into the surrounding galactic halo, and so may can act as a vent for the energetic hot gas produced by supernovae (more).

Such tests include but are not limited to infectious disease titers, thyroid hormone analysis (T4, fT4, T3, TSH), specialized liver tests (blood ammonia), Cushing's disease or Addison's disease tests (such as basal cortisol level, ACTH stimulation test, HDDS or LDDS tests, dexamethasone suppression test), insulin: glucose ratio, pancreas - assessment tests (PLI, TLI, cobalamin, folate), creatinine kinase, ionized calcium, PTH or PTHrP, SDMA for renal assessment, serum protein electrophoresis, tests to assess blood clotting (PT, PTT, ACT, TT, FDPs, D - dimers), and blood gas measurements.

Here the cycle is ionize the gas to make the plasma, build up the current, heat the plasma with an external heater until the temperature for fusion is reached, turn off the heater, and then have the energy require to keep the temperature high generated by the fusion reaction itself.
