This page provides explanatory text for the dials shown on the Rice Current Solar Wind Conditions and Current Solar Wind Conditions (Dials Only) webpage. These dials use the last good received set of measurements from the Real Time Solar Wind package on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft. ... Measured) This quantity is the number of solar wind protons per unit volume as measured by the ACE Solar Wind Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) . ... It is measured by ACE/SWEPAM. ...

Next: Results of calculations Up: Initial conditions Previous: Initial velocity . We consider motion of the stars in the Galaxy with a model axially symmetrical potential which becomes quasi-spherical at large distances from the galactic center and gives rise to the observed galactic rotation curve. As an example we have taken the galactic potential as in Paczynsky (1990) paper. The potential consists of two disk components corresponding to the galactic disc and the buldge . ...

Next: General CCF Components Up: Calibration Access and Data Previous: List of CAL Routines Contents . This section contains descriptions of the structure of CCF constituents. ... The calibration team of the SOC is also providing additional CCF components where required in conjunction with data that were generated with SciSim. ... These CCF components are generated on a need basis and are identical in structure to the real life components. ... Generation from Ground Calibration Data . ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

Optical/IR infrastructure priority setting process The Town Hall community meeting agreed that the "base" component of Gemini (i.e. the current 6.19% + Aspen program) is the community's highest priority, and that it should be wholly funded under NCRIS (i.e. without the LIEF or university contributions of the present arrangement). ... Infrastructure funded through NCRIS should serve the research and innovation system broadly, not just the host/funded institutions. ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. ... In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. ...
