This lesson is intended as a revision of basic direct-current (DC) circuits . It was discovered in the 19th century that certain materials (so-called ideal resistors) have a current through them I that is proportional to the potential difference (voltage) across them V. This is not a fundamental law of physics (like momentum conservation) but is an observed behavior which some materials roughly follow (like the friction law we covered earlier in the course). ... This equation is called Ohm's law. ...

... The most precisely determined characteristic for accreting neutron stars (NS's) is their period. ... Period changes show fluctuations. ... Some applications of stochastic processes in astrophysics especially in accreting systems were discussed in Lipunov (1987),Hoshino Takeshima (1993) and Lipunov (1992).In Hoshino Takeshima (1993) the authors, using simple models of MHD turbulence, try to explain aperiodic changes in X-ray luminosity of X-ray pulsars. ...

... The data from the X-ray spectrometer RESIK, gamma spectrometer HELICON, flare spectrometer IRIS, amplitude­temporal spectrometer AVS-F, and X-ray spectrometer RPS-1 have been used to analyze the X- and gamma-ray emission from solar flares and for diagnostics of the flaring plasma. The absolute and relative content of various elements (such as potassium, argon, and sulfur) of solar plasma in flares has been determined for the first time with the X-ray spectrometer RESIK. ...

... The early science program has been very successful with about 600 separate segments observed of which about 92% were successful. ... In response to AO-1, thirteen Key Science proposals were received from ~200 authors for 1800 hours and were evaluated by the RPEC. ... The RISC strongly urged that the results of the ESP and AO-1 need to be made available (published in refereed journals) as soon as possible which will give credibility to AO-2 proposals. ...
