... The high-altitude cusp, which is often called the exterior cusp , can be considered to be a part of the magnetospheric boundary layer system. ... The low-altitude cusp is the dayside region in which the entry of magnetosheath plasma to low altitudes is most direct. ... The magnetosheath plasma penetrating into the low-altitude cusp (and the surrounding low-altitude boundary layer regions) is responsible for , e.g., part of the dayside auroral precipitation . ... solar wind variations . ...

The Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: A key to the building blocks in the Universe H. Hirashita et al. Kyoto University, Japan Recent studies have been revealing the dark matter content in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). ... We select the Local Group dSphs as a sample. ... However, we nd no observational evidence that the tidal forces by giant galaxies a ect the density pro les of the dSphs, which indicates that the stellar systems of the dSphs lie in their deep dark matter potentials. ...

... Line radiative transfer in C 18 O, HCO + , and CS lines is considered in a spherically symmetric chemo-dynamical model of a starless core, evolution of which is driven by the ambipolar diffusion. Theoretical line profiles are compared to observational data on the well-known L1544 core, which is one of possible candidates for collapsing protostellar clouds. ... Comparison between modelled and observed spectra suggests that L1544 has flattened structure and is observed at some inclination. ...
