... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

... At the simplest level of modelization, these phenomena are described by reaction-diffusion equations. The theory of this type of equation is far away from being fully understood but one can give however several results providing in some cases existence of solutions and their qualitative behaviour. ...

. None so far . p44: the command to compile the NAG example should be: . f95 -o ex ex.f90 -lnag_nag -lpthread . Note that a warning message appears -- ignore it. None so far . p36: in the expression for the Lennard-Jones potential, the prefactor of 4 is extraneous, sosimply remove it. Then the following expression for the Force will be consistent.

Solar High Resolution Studies . Back to . Solar Group . ... The study of photospheric "quiet" structures can have deep implications for a large variety of astrophysical topics, ranging from energy transport in astrophysical plasmas, to MHD problems in fluids with elevated Reynolds number. The wealth of structures and scales visible in the quiet solar photosphere is well exemplified in this white light movie, obtained at the Dunn Solar Telescope at the NSO/Sacramento Peak on Oct. ...

... More than 300 surface reconstructions are already known for pure Si surface and Si surface with adsorbate. Study of their properties by the methods of surface physics reveal numerous interesting phenomena including various phase transitions accompanied by changes of Fermi-surface topology, development of the charge-density wave, etc . ...

... One possible application of a solar sail is a spacecraft to warn Earth of approaching interplanetary disturbances and shocks. ... Spacecraft that can provide such a warning are currently stationed at (or near) the Lagrangian L1 point , between the Earth and the Sun--at about 4 times the distance of the moon and 1/100 times that of the Sun. ... Because of the greater distance from Earth, the Earth's pull there is weaker, not enough to make the spacecraft match the Earth's motion around the Sun. ...

... Recent studies indicate that stars are most likely forming within the binary and multiple systems. ... During several years we are conducting the observations of such multiple stellar systems at the BTA telescope in order to find their companions and study the properties therein. ... This star is interesting in that it may be a dynamically unstable multiple star, meaning that over time, such systems will split into individual stars. ... A bright component is a very tight spectroscopic binary star. ...
