... part 1 | ... The Basic Stages in Earth's Pre-geological Development . ... After fragments of the Vortex sleeves separated, whirlwinds of second and third orders ("NC" - new micro-vortex) were generated- future planet cores and their satellites - all of them developing independently, governed by the common laws of development of cosmogenic vortexes. ... Our planet's core today is comprised of considerably deteriorated cosmogenic vortex; consequently, the Earth has a moderated magnetic field. ...

... FEATURES OF OBTAINED IMAGES All images obtained by the TESIS have a number of artifacts, i.e., the dark current, flat field, blurring (related to the feature of input shutters and CCD matrices of the equipment), and frame damage caused by the entry of cosmic particles. In addition, poor accuracy of the spacecraft stabilization leads to the fact that separately taken images of the Sun have a ran dom displacement and rotation relative to the CCD matrix. ... Methods of image recording of the TESIS. ...

... Pulsars offer a variety of observables for study of interstellar scattering. Observations of scattering of nearby pulsars and intra-day variable quasars point to the existence of a component of the interstellar medium (ISM) which has properties quite different from the more distant, diffuse ISM. ... The time series of electric field emitted by the pulsar is convolved with an impulse-response function due to scattering, when sampled at the observer plane [1]. ... Nearby interstellar scattering. ...
