Two Start of the data set. touch each other and cancellation big cluster of negative fragment at southwest also at the edge of at the northeast, and it The emerging positive negative fragments at its continues at the previous During the cancellation at the bipolar region, although there are short-living X-ray flashing sometimes, it is hardly to see any clear bright structure. ... 03:29 The negative fragments in the previous bipolar region become less, smaller and weaker. ... Cancellation continues. ...

... The magnetic field of the Earth has been investigated by satellites for several decades now, and enough of it is known to model its average strength and shape during different levels of overall magnetic activity. Presently the most used empirical global magnetic field models are the Tsyganenko models (1987, 1989) , referred to as T87 and T89, respectively, although even these consist of several submodels. ... Earth's magnetic field from T89c model during Kp=2 for different seasons. ... Res. ...

... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...

Next: The Scenario Machine: Operational Up: Evolution of Magnetic Rotators Previous: Ejector-propeller hysteresis . ... The length of this segment is determined by the eccentricity. ... In this case no hysteresis occurs and transitions E -- P and the reverse take place in symmetrical points of the orbit. ... 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. ...

... flspec computes the spectrum of the background fluctuations in EPIC Imaging data in different offaxis annular regions. ... Once the 'flatfielded' image is free from detected sources, its pixels are binned according to the input parameter binsize and classified as 'positive' (if they have more counts than the median in the image) and 'negative' pixels (less counts than the median). ... The positive and negative spectra are extracted with an spectral binning of 15 eV (MOS) and 5 eV (PN). ...

... Magnetic fields, subatomic particles, etc., traveling in different directions fill the universe. Do they deflect or otherwise affect one another? If so, isnт??t the information we get from them distorted? ... Neutrino astronomy, which is still in its infancy, is attractive because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter that few of these distorting effects occur.

... It is found that the correlation coefficients between these two parameters calculated separately inside and outside the sunspot formation zone ±30 have cyclic variation and occur in anti-phase. This suggests different mechanisms of formation of the corona in the fields of small, medium, and large scales. ... The relationship between the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) and the magnetic field strength (MFS) has been investigated by constructing the corresponding synoptic maps for the 1977-2001. ...

... Archives . ... If you do not mind the time predictor, it is hard to believe that this is a light curve, time dependent data. ... It?s hard to say this data set is designed for time series analysis apart from the complication in statistical inference due to measurement errors. How to design the statistical study with measurement errors, huge gaps in time, and unequal time intervals is complex and unexplored. ... The following is R output without measurement errors. ...
