... What work is currently being done to improve the flux calibration accuracy for echelle modes? ... Starting early in Cycle 11, monthly offsetting for echelle modes was turned off to minimize these types of calibration problems. ... We are currently working on redetermining the echelle flux calibration so that it is self-consistent with the 2-D scattered light algorithm. Time dependence of the sensitivity - Sensitivity-monitor data for the echelle modes are currently under investigation. ...

The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...

... It was designed to observe the solar wind approaching Earth, from a position near the Lagrangian point L1, and it is part of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Initiative . ... The original plan called for "Wind" to approach its final station over two years, undergoing two close encounters with the Moon to boost its speed. ... If however the object is moving , the encounter is not symmetric, and in the end the spacecraft may have gained or lost speed, depending on its trajectory. ...
