... 2004 July 25 . A Solar Filament Lifts Off . Credit: TRACE , NASA . Explanation: Hot gas frequently erupts from the Sun. One such eruption produced the glowing filament pictured above , which was captured in 2000 July by the Earth-orbiting TRACE satellite . The filament, although small compared to the overall size of the Sun , measures over 100,000 kilometers in height, so that the entire Earth could easily fit into its outstretched arms. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .

Jeff mock supplied 6 different types of filters to use with the high resolution mode of the mock spectrometer. ... Plots were made of the time domain voltage response as well as the frequency domain power response. A decimation of 10 was used for the filter decimation. this gave a filter length of 80 coeff. The plots compare the filter shapes for these filter types (.ps) ( .pdf ) . ... Each color is a different filter type . middle: spectral density reponse for each filter . ...

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much , much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...

Some astronomers ignore low-mass stars because they aren t very bright. However, stars with initial masses between about 0.8 Msun and 8 Msun (AGB stars) play an important role as the main site of the slow neutron capture (s-)process, which produces roughly half of the elements heavier than iron. ... From this work, we will see have a better understanding of AGB nucleosynthesis, the chemical evolution of globular clusters, and the properties of helium-rich stars. ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...
