- Summary, etc.
- A new method for calibrating imaging parameters of photographs taken from the International Space Station (ISS) is presented in this report. Airglow in the mesosphere and the F-region ionosphere was captured on the limb of the Earth with a digital single-lens reflex camera from the ISS by astronauts. To utilize the photographs as scientific data, imaging parameters, such as the angle of view, exact position, and orientation of the camera, should be determined because they are not measured at the time of imaging. A new calibration method using city light positions shown in the photographs was developed to determine these imaging parameters with high accuracy suitable for airglow study. Applying the pinhole camera model, the apparent city light positions on the photograph are matched with the actual city light locations on Earth, which are derived from the global nighttime stable light map data obtained by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellite. The correct imaging parameters are determined in an iterative process by matching the apparent positions on the image with the actual city light locations. We applied this calibration method to photographs taken on August 26, 2014, and confirmed that the result is correct. The precision of the calibration was evaluated by comparing the results from six different photographs with the same imaging parameters. The precisions in determining the camera position and orientation are estimated to be ±2.2 km and ±0.08°, respectively. The 0.08° difference in the orientation yields a 2.9-km difference at a tangential point of 90 km in altitude. The airglow structures in the photographs were mapped to geographical points using the calibrated imaging parameters and compared with a simultaneous observation by the Visible and near-Infrared Spectral Imager of the Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Upper Atmosphere, and Plasmasphere mapping mission installed on the ISS. The comparison shows good agreements and supports the validity of the calibration. This calibration technique makes it possible to utilize photographs taken on low-Earth-orbit satellites in the nighttime as a reference for the airglow and aurora structures.

- Summary, etc.
- When tetrathionate-grown <I>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</I> ATCC 23270 cells were incubated with ferric ions and tetrathionate at pH 3.0, ferrous ions were produced enzymatically. Fe<SUP>3+</SUP>-reductase, which catalyzes Fe<SUP>3+</SUP> reduction with tetrathionate, was purified to homogeneity not only from tetrathionate-grown, but also from sulfur- and iron-grown <I>A. ferrooxidans</I> ATCC 23270 cells. The results for apparent molecular weight measured by SDS–PAGE (52.3 kD) and the N-terminal amino acid sequences of the purified enzymes from iron-, sulfur, and tetrathionate-grown cells (AVAVPMDSTG) indicate that Fe<SUP>3+</SUP>-reductase corresponds to tetrathionate hydrolase. The evidence that tetrathionate-grown <I>A. ferrooxidans</I> ATCC 23270 cells have high iron-oxidizing activity at the early log phase, comparable to that of iron-grown ATCC 23270 cells, is supported by our finding that tetrathionate hydrolase produces Fe<SUP>2+</SUP> from tetrathionate during growth on tetrathionate. This is the first report on ferric reductase activity associated with tetrathionate hydrolase.
