... Time-series of high resolution spectra have been obtained during three nights and several important events were detected. Observations contained several chromospheric lines, allowing to investigate simultaneously the response of the chromosphere at different heights. A detailed analysis of the H alpha line behaviour, in particular, has revealed prominece clouds and plage-like regions in this star. ... Promience clouds are seen to lie below the co-rotation radius. ...

Here EP means a mixed state of the rotator at which it is in the ejector state during one part of the orbit, and in the propeller state during the rest of the orbital cycle. ...

The Mars Flag has a different design on the reverse side. obverse side of flag . ... The orbit lines on the obverse cross the Sun on the lower half of the flag and appear to go behind the Sun on the upper half of the flag. The reverse side has the orbits lines continuing around the Sun on the upper half of the flag. ... The Mars Flag reverse side is a continuation of the obverse side and not just a different design on the back and not a mirror image of the obverse. Main Flag Background Color . ...

Right-click on the top of the column containing the x-data and drag your mouse to the bottom of the column to select it. ... You must first enter the Positive Error Value (the `up error bars') ­ click at top of the column of y error values and drag down to select all of the values (in the above screenshot the y error values are in the column labeled ). ... Let's try fitting a straight line. ...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DATABASE . It is a matter of common knoledge, that solar magnetic fields and, in particular, magnetic fields of sunspots, play important role in many solar events. In Pulkovo observatory the long-term data set of daily observations of magnetic fields of solar sunspots was accumulated, which contains great potential for further researches in solar physics. ... Second section includes files containing sum data about magnetic fields for every observational day. ...

ALMA | ... In this section, we explain why we need to correct phase fluctuations and ALMA's strategy to do this. Rapid fluctuations will be corrected with water vapour radiometers (WVRs). The Cavendish Astrophysics Group was also a leading contributor to the ALMA prototype WVRs, which were put through their paces in tests at the Submillimeter Array (SMA). ... The Cavendish Astrophysics Group in partnership with the Onsala Space Observatory built two prototype WVRs for the ALMA project. ...
