... Assured of a reliable method of solving the normal equations, we now consider the equations of condition. The observed magnitude m of a star at M air masses with true instrumental magnitude is modelled as ([ 10 ], [ 28 ]) . ... The effective extinction coefficient depends on the effective spectral gradient [ 29 ] of the star, for which we use some color index, affected by half the atmospheric reddening ([ 26 ], [ 10 ]): . ... Thus, for the B band of UBV, we use the (U-V) color. ...

... One Jansky (Jy) is defined as 10 -26 Wm -2 Hz -1 , so it is a unit of measurement of the spectral flux density, F . ... 3x10 -12 . ... erg sec -1 cm -2 ?m -1 . ... where m is the magnitude and F o the zero-point flux for the given photometric band. ... Surface brightnesses are generally measured in Janskys arcsec -2 , MJy steradian -1 or magnitudes arcsec -2 . If you have a surface brightness S in MJy steradian -1 , then you can use: S [Jy arcsec -2 ] = S [MJy ster -1 ] x 0.084616. ...

... Energetic magnetospheric ions are often unstable to the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) instability . ... generation of EMIC waves below the proton gyrofrequency , and . ... Depending on the local proton gyrofrequency, the frequency of the EMIC waves varies: in the magnetosphere we deal with the ULF range (more precisely 0.1-5 Hz), while in the auroral field lines we have ELF waves (tens or hundreds of Hz; see radio frequencies and flickering aurora ). ...

The night after the John Glenn program, I pitched the terraforming idea to my students. I asked them if they'd like to terraform Mars as a big class project; I wanted to throw the idea to them and see how they would react. Already I had a vision of splitting the class into several groups and having each group take charge of a portion of the project. ... Following my initial idea on how to conduct the project, I split the c
