Hakucho

(hă-koo -choh) The first Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite, launched in Feb. 1979 and operating until re-entry in late 1984. Its payload included several small nonimaging detectors well matched to the study of variability in the brighter galactic X-ray sources. Extended observations of X-ray pulsars and of X-ray burst sources were the major scientific contributions. See also Asca; Ginga; Tenma.

This assumption was challenged by the response data of ambient vibration measurement for Hakucho Bridge.
Through careful analysis of monitoring data from Hakucho Bridge, unexpected along-wind vibration of the bridge tower and associated girder lateral vibration were found, (41) and this new vibration was investigated by wind tunnel testing.
The wind-induced responses of Hakucho Bridge during six strong wind events, taken from 2008-2012 monitoring data, were studied with an emphasis on tower single-frequency large vibration.
(2016) Along-wind almost-harmonic vibration observed at Hakucho Bridge pylons and its wind tunnel experiments.
