The common feature of all previous AIR measurements is the presence of continuous intensity increase of ionizing components along the atmospheric vertical profiles up to the well-known Regener-Pfotzer (RP) maximum appearing between 16–25 km altitudes. In this study, measured vertical ionization profile showed a peaking in ionizing radiation intensity in the atmosphere registered below 10 km altitude, exceeding more than 20 times the values at these heights from previous measurements by meteorological balloons (or in any other way lifted detectors into the atmosphere). We confirmed these findings by three independent measurements performed by detectors equipped with ultra-thin mica windows. The registered peaking in ionizing radiation intensity was observed at altitude ranging from 5-8 km, in a very narrow altitude region (∼300 m). Furthermore, Monte Carlo simulations of propagation of cosmic rays through the atmosphere were performed, searching for possible increase in number of detected events at certain altitudes (10 km, 8 km, and 5 km) due to air-shower developments. Unlike our experimental results, the simulation results did not show an enhance in the number of cosmic ray-produced secondary particles at certain altitudes (5 km or 8 km) relative to the 10 km altitude. A form of anomaly in atmospheric ionizing radiation field at lower altitudes has been seen in ARMAS (Automated Radiation Measurements for Aerospace Safety) data and measurements performed by the National University Corporation, Fukushima University. The presented results in this study will have broad impact on the better understanding of the ionizing radiation production mechanism in the atmosphere, as well as on its dose consequences. © 2025 COSPAR}, keywords = {cosmic rays; atmospheric radioactivity; Atmospheric effects; Atmospheric effects; Atmospheric radiation; Common features; Cosmic ray detectors; Radiation intensity; Atmospheric ionization; Cosmic ray measurement; ionizing radiation measurement; Cosmics; Atmospheric ionizing radiation; Meteorological balloons; Ultra-thin window GM tube; Vertical ionization profile; Anomalous peaks; Ultra-thin window GM tube; Ultra-thin windows; Vertical ionization; Vertical ionization profile}, year = {2025}, eissn = {1879-1948}, pages = {7787-7799} } @inbook{MTMT:36314319, title = {Zivatarokhoz köthető elektro-optikai jelenségek és megfigyelésük a világűrből}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36314319}, author = {Barta, Márton and Bór, József and Hegedüs, Tibor}, booktitle = {Móra Akadémia Szakkollégiumi tanulmánykötet}, unique-id = {36314319}, year = {2025}, pages = {111-126} } @article{MTMT:36413344, title = {SN 2023ixf in M101: Physical Parameters from Bolometric Light Curve Modeling}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/36413344}, author = {Vinkó, József and Bodola, Zsófia Réka and Gődény, Ákos and Csák, Szelina Fruzsina and Könyves-Tóth, Réka and Nagy, Andrea and Szalai, Tamás and Bánhidi, Dominik and Bíró, Imre Barna and Bódi, Attila and Bora, Zsófia and Csányi, István and Cseh, Borbála and Hegedüs, Tibor and Horti-Dávid, Ágoston and Joó, András Péter and Kalup, Csilla and Kriskovics, Levente and Mochnács, Erika and Pál, András and Regály, Zsolt and Seli, Bálint Attila and Sódor, Ádám and Szabó, Olivér Norton and Szakáts, Róbert and Székely, Péter and Varga, Vázsony and Vida, Krisztián}, doi = {10.3847/1538-4357/ae0614}, journal-iso = {ASTROPHYS J}, journal = {ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL}, volume = {993}, unique-id = {36413344}, issn = {1538-4357}, abstract = {We present new photometric observations of the core-collapse supernova SN 2023ixf occurred in M101, taken with the RC 80 and BRC80 robotic telescopes in Hungary.
