The first indication that the sun might be emitting a "wind" came from comet tails , observed to point away from the Sun, whether the comet was approaching the Sun or whether it was moving away. ... The corona, like the Earth's atmosphere, is held down by the Sun's gravity. ... The particles at its "roots" stay with the Sun, but those in the high corona flow out with the solar wind, to the Earth's orbit and far beyond. ...

Dust around the lander . ... However, it appeals to our common sense: when the sky is black here on Earth, we see stars. ... Bad: The program claims that when the top half of the lander took off from the Moon to bring the astronauts back into orbit, there was no flame from the rocket. ...

Name: PGSUBP Purpose: subdivide view surface into panels Category: GRAPHICS File: pgplot.src Author: T.J. Pearson Use: see description below. Description: SUBROUTINE PGSUBP (NXSUB, NYSUB) INTEGER NXSUB, NYSUB PGPLOT divides the physical surface of the plotting device (screen, window, or sheet of paper) into NXSUB x NYSUB `panels'. When the view surface is sub-divided in this way, PGPAGE moves to the next panel, not the next physical page. ...

The Earth. ... The middle raiding of the Earth is 6371,032 km, the pole 6356,777 km equatorial - 6378,160 km. The Earth surface area is 510,2 mln km^2, 70,8% of which is the World ocean. ... According to the modern cosmogonical views the Earth was formed 4,6 - 4,7 billions years ago from the protoplanet cloud captured by the Sun. ... The Earth is conditionally divided into 3 parts: a bark a cloak and a core (in the centre). The external layer - the bark is 35 km thick. ... Above the Earth. ...

... Figure 1a illustrates the summary diagram (2 log L, log S ) based on the field intensity contour lines for 7 active regions plotted at 200 G steps in the range of 2200­400 G. One can see that the relationship under discussion is well represented by two straight lines, one corresponding to the log S range from 2 to 7.2 and another, from 7.2 to 9. ... Then, we plotted 2 log L versus log S for all field lines of a given intensity, no matter which sunspot or sunspot group they belonged to. ...

Mal Ruderman (KIPAC, Stanford) . What do we see when we look at the surface of a neutron star from a great distance? ... The new point that is made is a consequence of near-relativistic electron-positron flows expected in the near-magnetosphere's of "young" (not older than about a million years) neutron stars. Because of cyclotron resonance scattering by these pair-flows on surface X-ray and UV emission, we do not see unprocessed suface emission. ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

... There are several explanations for these X--ray quiet PMS stars. To examine the explanations, it is proper to divide the PMS stars into three groups: those bluer than R - I = 0.7, those redder than the X--ray sources (R - I > 1.25) and those with colors similar to the X--ray sources. ... A total of 26 of the non--X--ray detected PMS candidates had spectra taken. ... Between V=14 and V=16, I find 25 stars which are X--ray sources and estimate 19 non--X--ray PMS stars. ...

Next: A Universal Diagram for Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Corotation Radius . The interaction of a magnetic rotator with the surrounding plasma to a large extent depends on the relation between the four characteristic radii: the stopping radius, , the gravitational capture radius,   , the light cylinder radius,   , and the corotation radius,   . ... Hence, the classification of the interaction regimes may well mean the classification of magnetic rotators. ...

Unless you specify otherwise sort treats the one or more space characters between words as field delimiters. You may want to sort files where words are separated by another character such as a colon ( : ). Use the -t option to specify another character to act as the field delimiter. For example -t: . specifies the colon ( : ) character as the delimiter. One specific delimiter followed by another indicates an empty field. ... field2 is taken to be empty. ...

The method requires that the CCD substrate be etched from the rear towards the depletion layer boundary.
