... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... Our calculations show that although the Newtonian model works very well for almost all practical purposes for the well known showers during present epochs, there could be some exceptional combinations of orbital elements for which the general relativistic precession in argument of pericentre and its influence on nodal distances could become significantly pronounced and decisive for predicting any earth-meteor intersection. ...

... Program Information . ... By design, the greater part of the observations have been done at one of two ORIENT angles in both of the two observing epochs, but by necessity, in order to accommodate the observations within the same general time frame and to also allow other GO observations to schedule, a smaller number of observations were done at a second ORIENT angle since that allowed for scheduling over a larger number of days within the larger UDF period. ... 9978 . ... 9979 . ... 9980 . ... 9981 ...

It is a matter of common knowledge that in processes of genesis and evolution of many solar phenomena participate magnetic fields of sunspots. ...
