spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 September 1998, 2020 UT (RR) . Traveling Convection Vortex (TCV) is a name given to a specific type of daytime magnetic impulsive events observed by high-latitude ground-based magnetometer arrays. Since the most likely source for TCVs is the solar wind , they are considered to be important processes in transfering energy from the solar wind into the magnetosphere . ... For example, one AMPTE Lithium release in the solar wind caused a TCV event . ...

We present broadband photometry in the optical, near infrared and sub-millimetre, and mid-infrared spectrophotometry of a selection of carbon stars with optically thin envelopes. ... Beside the emission features at 11.3 \mu m due to silicon carbide grains in the circumstellar environment, many of our mid-infrared spectra show an emission feature at 8.6 \mu m. All the observed spectral energy distributions exhibit a very large far-infrared flux excess. ...

In result of analysis of the data Lawrence and Feldman constructed the hydrogen distribution on the lunar surface [1]. ... However, the authors shown, that EN flux data features may be explained by other element abundance in the lunar soils, namely: Si, Ca, Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm) and Fe. ... Using of the Feldman's interpretation of the Lunar Prospector data [8], we constructed hydrogen distribution map (Fig.1). ...

Small Galaxy Groups ASP Conference Series, Vol. ... It is generally accepted that they are related to the nuclear rings formed in barred galaxies at the inner Linblad resonance (ILR), although according to Buta and Crocker (1993), in some cases they were found in non-barred spirals, so in general a presence of large-scale non-axisymmetric gravitational potential is not a rigid condition for the nuclear bar to be formed. Typical length of nuclear bars is 1 - 2 kpc for H 0 = 75km=s=Mpc. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...
