For historical reasons, it is useful to offer comparisons between the current WFPC2, and its predecessor WF/PC-1, which was returned to Earth in December 1993. Field format: WF/PC-1 contained 8 cameras and CCDs, each CCD having 800 x 800 pixels. ... Many differences derive from the fact that the WF/PC-1 CCDs were thinned, backside illuminated devices whereas the WFPC2 CCDs are thick, frontside illuminated devices. ... WFPC2 devices have much less CTE error, and hence no preflash is used. ...

... The ring current (e.g., Frank, 1967) consists of geomagnetically trapped 10 - 200 keV ions (mainly H + , He + , and O + ) and electrons that drift azimuthally around the Earth at radial distances of about 2-7 Re (Earth radii), overlapping the radiation belt region. ... This index can be used to monitor the development of geomagnetic storm (see also geomagnetic activity ), as the main signature (actually definition) of the storm main phase is the build-up of an enhanced ring current. ...
