Next: M.E. Bailey, Director Up: Research Previous: C.S. Jeffery, Research Astronomer Contents . Dr Michael Smith has focused mainly on the earliest stages of stellar evolution: the processes leading to star formation from an initially unstable, collapsing cloud of gas, and the energetic outflows -- jets and winds -- associated with the formation and early evolution of protostars and pre-main-sequence stellar objects. ... Spectacular jets of molecules, however, betray its presence. ...

spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 September 1998, 2020 UT (RR) . Traveling Convection Vortex (TCV) is a name given to a specific type of daytime magnetic impulsive events observed by high-latitude ground-based magnetometer arrays. Since the most likely source for TCVs is the solar wind , they are considered to be important processes in transfering energy from the solar wind into the magnetosphere . ... For example, one AMPTE Lithium release in the solar wind caused a TCV event . ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...
