Next: A Universal Diagram for Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Corotation Radius . The interaction of a magnetic rotator with the surrounding plasma to a large extent depends on the relation between the four characteristic radii: the stopping radius, , the gravitational capture radius,   , the light cylinder radius,   , and the corotation radius,   . ... Hence, the classification of the interaction regimes may well mean the classification of magnetic rotators. ...

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 ). ...

... Archives . ... If you do not mind the time predictor, it is hard to believe that this is a light curve, time dependent data. ... It?s hard to say this data set is designed for time series analysis apart from the complication in statistical inference due to measurement errors. How to design the statistical study with measurement errors, huge gaps in time, and unequal time intervals is complex and unexplored. ... The following is R output without measurement errors. ...

... The IRAF task rvcorrect is used to compute radial velocity corrections. rvcorrect is in the IRAF astutil package and it calls on task observatory , which is also found in astutil. The following steps are an example of its use for an HST dataset where the HST velocity around the Earth is ignored (maximum residual: +/- ~7.8 km/s): . ... Here is an example of file rvcor . ... Run the rvcorrect task: cl>rvcorrect f=rvcor.in > outputfile The above example produced the following output file. ...

... Observers looking at an object that is moving away from them see light that has a longer wavelength than it had when it was emitted (a redshift), while observers looking at an approaching source see light that is shifted to shorter wavelength (a blueshift). ... By measuring the amount of the shift to the red, we can determine that the bright galaxy is moving away at 3,000 km/sec, which is 1 percent of the speed of light, because its lines are shifted in wavelength by 1 percent to the red. ...

... Two files from two exposures (even from different observations or instruments) are taken as input. These may be EPIC event lists or two other additional files (attitude files, orbit files etc [see comments]). ... Warnings are given when the event files are deemed not entirely compatible (i.e. their INSTRUME or FILTER keywords are different). ... Given here is a summary of the current conditions whereby event files (or parts thereof [blocks/columns etc]) are or are not merged. ...

Correlated flashes of masers H2O . ... In 1981 - 1982 years it was revealed several Flashes of maser radiation of H2O radioline at wavelength 1.35 cm in the radio-sourse W49, developing practically synchronously at several radial velocities. It's known that components of the maser radiation of H2O radioline profile with different radial velocities arise in separate spatially diverse areas of a starformation. ...
