This page provides explanatory text for the dials shown on the Rice Current Solar Wind Conditions and Current Solar Wind Conditions (Dials Only) webpage. These dials use the last good received set of measurements from the Real Time Solar Wind package on the Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft. ... Measured) This quantity is the number of solar wind protons per unit volume as measured by the ACE Solar Wind Electron Proton Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) . ... It is measured by ACE/SWEPAM. ...

... Using the self-consistent 3D hydrodynamical code in Kobayashi et al. (2007) , we simulate the star formation and chemical enrichment history of the Universe. ... We also predict the rates of supernovae and gamma-ray bursts, and the properties of the host galaxies, which will be observed with the ANU's new SkyMapper telescope. ...

We investigate models for main-sequence and horizontal-branch (HB) stars constructed using the Carson opacities and make comparisons with models based on the Cox-Stewart opacities. ... The drop in the hydrogen-shell luminosity due to the helium-core expansion during HB evolution is greater than that obtained with the Cox-Stewart opacities. ... Studies of main-sequence (MS) stars lead to agreement with Stothers' (1974a,b, 1976) results for homogeneous models constructed with Carson opacities. ...

... Energy Levels . ... Radiation from . Hot Objects . ... Instead he wanted to explain the continuous spectrum emitted by hot solids--also known as " black body spectrum " because it is supposedly emitted by an ideal hot object ("black body") whose structure gives no special preference to any color (as happens with green grass, blue jeans and red bricks). ... A "black body spectrum" is also expected in light from hot dense gases, where strong energy exchange exists among frequently colliding atoms. ...

... The HH flow associated with young stellar object HL Tau has an exciting history and even until now the origin of some its features is not clear yet. ... Knotty structures of Herbig-Haro jets are common phenomena and knowing the origin of such structures is essential for understanding the processes of jet formation. ... In the flow detected compact knots with high (-150 km/s) and bow shape structures in front of those, with low radial velocities (-50 km/s). ...

... This paper describes a simple technique that cancels the DC offsets often found in Hubble Space Telescope's calibrated NICMOS images. ... Hubble Space Telescope NICMOS images often show quadrants with a slight mismatch in DC offset levels after the calibration process. ...
