In this method the fields outside and inside a particle are represented by expansions in term of proper basis functions (practically always the vector spherical harmonics). Since the particle surface does not coincide with the coordinate surface, it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly, and the expansions are limited by a finite number of terms, and the boundary conditions are considered in a finite set of points (matching points). ...

This section of AMPLE enables one to make ephemeris calculations in various coordinate systems (spherical, rectangular) connected with different main planes (equator, ecliptic, horizon) and having origin in different points: geocenter, any point on the Earth surface, the Sun, any major planet, any minor planet. The choice of some minor planet as a center gives possibility to find approaches of the minor planet with any set of major planets and minor planets. ... equinox . 1950 2000 true . ...

... 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. ...

... Тhis new concept touches our simple lives, yet for those intrigued by the natural sciences, especially experts deeply engaged in the 'eternal' questions of general geology and astronomy, it is all the more fascinating.
