... Despite new observation methods provided by radar and satellite instrumentation , optical measurements are still important when studying auroras . ... Because of the monochromatic nature of the auroral light, photomultiplier tubes with very narrow band filters were used in the measurements. ... The spectra of the background emissions from atmospheric impurities (clouds, ice crystals, etc.) is rather continuous, and measurements just outside the auroral emission lines are valid for the line itself. ...

... Research . ... The major problem in HVC research is the unknown distance towards most of the HVCs. ... Thilker et al. (2004) used the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) to map an area of $7^{\circ} \times 7^{\circ}$ around M31 in H i . They discovered a population of HVCs located within a projected distance of about $50~\mathrm{kpc}$ from M31. ... 2004). ... The remaining HVCs around M31 are isolated in position and velocity and may represent primordial, dark-matter-dominated clouds. ...

... STFC Courses in Solar System Plasmas have played an important part in the early training of solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric and ionospheric physicists since the 1980s. The Introductory course, as well as providing a grounding in the theory and the most recent observations relevant to their fields, allows new PhD students and other participants to interact scientifically with each other and with the lecturers, thus strengthening the field as a whole - particularly in the UK. ...

The INTERBALL space mission ( INTERBALL-1 with its subsatellite MAGION-4 in orbits with an apogee of 30 Re, and INTERBALL-2 with its recently reactivated MAGION-5 subsatellite in orbits with an apogee of 4 Re geocentric) continue to conduct important measurements in the solar wind, magnetosheath, magnetotail, magnetopause and above the auroral region. ...

... The SIRTF Science Center is developing two Web-based tools that will be used during operations. One tool is for Quality Analysis. ... The basic design requirements for the QA tool are (1) that it provide an easy way of looking at all the data, observation by observation, and (2) that it provide an easy way to specify status and comments for each observation. ... The data accessed by this tool consists of meta-data in the central database as well as the actual data files in the archive. ...

However, the latter is not provided by the IERS. ... ITRF · Using ITRF in computation of EOP series produced by various ACs seems to be a necessary condition to provide the consistency between the IERS products. ...

Hubble Observations Shed New Light on Jupiter Collision . Was it a comet or an asteroid? ... Their initial findings, combined with results from other space-borne and ground-based telescopes, shed new light on Jupiter's atmospheric winds, its immense magnetic field, the mysterious dark debris from the impacts, and the composition of the doomed comet itself. ... Hubble's ultraviolet observations show the motion of very fine impact debris particles now suspended high in Jupiter's atmosphere. ...
