... There is no question about the source of ionospheric plasma , since it is created from the ambient neutral atmosphere by ionization. However, the source of magnetospheric plasma is a much more complicated question: although it seems obvious that both solar wind and ionosphere feed it, the relative importance of these two sources is unclear. ... Protons (H + ) are the primary ions in solar wind and one of the major components in ionospheric outflows, and thus not good indicators of their source. ...

... Seminar archive . ... The structure of the X-ray sources in the hard spectral state of accreting black-hole binaries has been a subject of intense debate. The paradigm dominant for many years postulated that the accretion disc in the hard state is truncated at some radius >> the innermost stable orbit (ISCO) whereas the disc reaches the ISCO in the soft state. ... On the other hand, there have been numerous claims in recent years that the disc extends to the ISCO in the hard state. ...
