MAJOR MAGNETIC STORMS 1868-2005 ACCORDING TO THE AA* CRITERIA For a plot of sunspot number and aa Yearly Indices 1868-2005, see ftp.ngdc.noaa.gov/STP/GEOMAGNETIC_DATA/AASTAR/aasspot.gif A simple global index of magnetic activity is produced in France from the K indices of two nearly antipodal magnetic observatories in England and Australia. ... Daily average AA may be derived similarly to Ap. ... An AA* index has been derived that is the counterpart of Ap* but is available for a longer span of years. ...

On the night of September 24-25, in the north of Irkutsk Oblast, local residents saw a brightly glowing space object draw a line across the sky and fall into the taiga. ... But scientists learned of the heavenly visitor only on October 3, when a fax arrived at the Institute of Sun And Earth Physics from Bodaibo. ... The first thing we did was to interview residents of villages located along the meteor's flight path. ...

... The described algorithm is suitable for measurements of complex images of stars. ... a) the zero-based number of stars in the complex (multicentric) image, . b) set of preliminary coordinates - x i , y i , for all stars, index i is number of a star, . ... i - index of a star in the complex image; . ... These parameters are calculated by a nonlinear method of a least squares.The main output parameters of this algorithm are x i , y i ; where the index i is number of a star in the multicentric image. ...

... The accuracy of the RESIK measurements allows photospheric and coronal abundance sets, important for the free­bound continuum, to be discriminated. ... The FB emission depends on the set of abundances used in the calculations, a coronal set (Feldman 1992; Fludra & Schmelz 1999) giving rise to greater emission than a photospheric set (Grevesse et al. ... Right panel: continuum fluxes compared for coronal (Feldman 1992) and photospheric (Grevesse et al. 2007) abundances for Te = 15 MK. ...

... Finding Stars . ... Handling Bad Pixels . ... The guide camera image controller can control one or more guide cameras. ... Each time the camera is read, the image is automatically saved to a fits file on a shared disk. ... Cameras that have bad pixels require "bad pixel maps" in order to find stars, centroid or even compute statistics for the image. ... View this image (for instance in NIH Image) and determine an upper and lower cutoff; pixels whose values are outside of this range are considered...

... Properties of Stellar Populations in Isolated Lenticular Galaxies I. Yu. ... The resulting average ages of the stellar population in bulges and discs fill an entire range of possible values from 1.5 to 15 Gyr which indicates the absence in the isolated lenticular galaxies, unlike in the members of groups and clusters, of a certain epoch when the structural components are formed: they could have been formed at a redshift of z > 2 as well as only several billion years ago. ... 69 NGC 2350 No. ...
