... Ignacio Ugarte Urra's PhD thesis topic is the investigation of coronal bright points. In his first paper (in collaboration with Gerry Doyle and Maria Madjarska) he investigated the formation, evolution and decay of a coronal bright point via a spectroscopic analysis of its transition region counterpart and the evolution of the underlying magnetic bipole during 3 days of almost continuous observations. ... In general the bright point has a radiance 4 times higher than that of the network. ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ... Two point observation of the magnetopause motion: the INTERBALL project. ...
