Data in GIPSY is stored in so called sets . A set consists of two components: an image component and a descriptor component. These components are stored in separate files, but in GIPSY they are always used together. The image data is stored in a `crystalline' structure with a virtually unlimited (up to 20) number of dimensions. ... Within a set subsets can be defined. ... The figure below shows the possible subset types in a three-dimensional set, a `` cube '': . ...

We cannot calculate now By and Bz components separately due to absence of the spacecraft attitude data. ...

Extended time series of Solar Activity Indices (ESAI) is database including observational, synthetic and simulated sets to study Solar magnetic field variations and their influence on the Earth. ESAI extend the ordinary lengths of some traditional indices of solar activity: sunspot areas, Wolf numbers (equatorial component of magnetic field of the Sun), polar faculae numbers (polar component), mean latitudes, N-S asymmetry of hemispheres (location of activity). Series . ...

Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...

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. ...

... The chemically peculiar star HD965 belongs to a rare type of very slow rotators. As far back as in the 90s, G.Mathys (ESO, Chile) supposed its extremely slow rotation as observing split Zeeman components in the spectrum, from which he measured the magnetic field on its surface. Field variation proved to be very slow, and G.Mathys determined that the variability period should be longer than two years. ... Up to now, only two stars with periods longer than 20 years are known. ...

Geomagnetic disturbances can be monitored by ground-based magnetic observatories recording the three magnetic field components. The global Kp index is obtained as the mean value of the disturbance levels in the two horizontal field components, observed at 13 selected, subauroral stations . ... Geomagnetic activity is the occurrence of K variations. ... But K still remains a local index, describing disturbances in the vicinity of each observatory. ...

... Direct observation of the vortex structure in high- T c superconductors in tilted magnetic fields. Abstract: . A high-resolution Bitter technique has been used to observe an effect of tilting the external magnetic field on the flux line lattice (FLL) in Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x single crystals. ... The reason is believed to be that the formation of the equilibrium vortex state (vortex chains) was prevented by strong pinning, revealed for our crystals by the M(t) curves. ...
