... 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. ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... The Starlink Software is a collection of astronomical packages and utilities comprising over 120 separate components. When built, the system needs between 500 and 650 MB disk space (without source) making it ideal for distribution on CD-ROM. Each component has been individually packaged into an easy-to-install bundle for users to obtain over the Internet via a ``point and click'' WWW interface from the Starlink Software Store. ...

... Synchrotron emission of a jet in the strong radial magnetic field of an AGN is analyzed. ... Often observed multi-component structures can be explained by the single jet in the model, if the flow of relativistic particles from the active nucleus varies in time. ... It is concluded that a narrow jet of relativistic particles emitted by the synchrotron mechanism in the strong radial magnetic field of an active galactic nucleus can be a real model for variable extragalactic radio sources. ...

... One of the most widely used tools of Fourier analysis is the Parseval theorem. It enables the experimentalist to view how the `energy' in the signal is distributed among frequencies. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms have made power spectra one of the obvious diagnostics tools during data acquisition, and energy maps are a versatile alternative. ... The result is an energy map (Fig. 9), showing the distribution of energy corresponding to the wavelet map (Fig. ...

These NASA Hubble Space Telescope pictures of comet Hale-Bopp show a remarkable "pinwheel" pattern and a blob of free-flying debris near the nucleus. The bright clump of light along the spiral (above the nucleus, which is near the center of the frame) may be a piece of the comet's icy crust that was ejected into space by a combination of ice evaporation and the comet's rotation, and which then disintegrated into a bright cloud of particles. ...
