MAJOR MAGNETIC STORMS 1932-1997 ACCORDING TO THE Ap* CRITERIA To view a plot of the number of magnetic storms v.s. sunspots, go to ftp://ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/APSTAR/magstorm.gif A simpler global index of magnetic activity (other than Kp or Km) is produced in France from the K indices of two nearly antipodal magnetic observatories in England and Australia. ... An AA* index has been derived that is the counterpart of Ap* but is available for the longer span of years. ...

Over the last two decades, dramatic improvements in the performance of 1 - 5 m infrared detector materials combined with the leap from single detectors to million pixel arrays have led to a billion-fold improvement in our ability to observe astronomical sources at these wavelengths. ...

... 1596, 2013 February 13 The Solar Corona: Why It Is Interesting for Us Abstract. Strong magnetic fields are of vital importance to the physics of the solar corona. They easily move a rarefied coronal plasma. ... They change geometry of magnetic field. ... First, we apply the concept of fast reconnection of electric currents as the source of energy for microflares to explain coronal heating in quiet regions (Somov B.V. and Hґ enoux J.-C., in Magnetic Fields and Solar Processes , 9th Eur. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy : The seasons are caused by the change in the distance of the Earth to the Sun. ... The change in distance of the Earth to the Sun is a very minor player. ... Well, not completely wrong; certainly the Earth's distance from the Sun has something to do with the temperature, but it is a relatively minor effect. ... Basically, the temperature depends only weakly on distance changes; the temperature goes as the inverse square root of the distance of the planet to the Sun...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

Cardiff is the capital of Wales since 1955. It is a city of the broad Severn estuary which extends into the Bristol Channel. ... It is both the cultural centre (with a university) and the economic centre of principality. ... The foundation of the National Museum of Wales in 1907 and of the Walsh University of Wales in 1893 helped Cardiff become a cultural centre. ... Cathay's Park is the centre of the civic life of the city with its exceptionally fine group of municipal buildings. ...

... The spectrum of the brightest star, our Sun, shows several dark gaps perpendicular to the flow of it’s colours (figure 1). These so called spectral absorption lines where discovered in 1802 by the English scientist William Wollaston. ... Some stars as Pollux show a spectrum similar to that of our sun with strong Ca II and Fe II lines, others as Sirius or Vega show strong absorption lines of hydrogen, others, as Mira show very complicated spectra due to molecular absorption lines (see figure 5). ...

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...
