. Next: Generation from In-Orbit Data Up: EPN_ADUCONV Previous: Description Contents . Ground calibration data obtained from extensive measurements of X-ray emission lines and synchrotron lines (mainly flat fields). The gains of the individual readout nodes are derived by comparing the positions of the CTE corrected calibration lines (in ADU) with their energies. Michael Smith 2011-09-20

Dust in galaxies can be mapped either by the FIR/submillimeter emission, the optical or infrared reddening of starlight, or the extinction of a known background source. ... We find that distant galaxies are predominantly in low-extinction sections marked by the color maps, indicating that their number depends both on the cloud cover of Spitzer-resolved dust structures, mostly the spiral arms, and a diffuse, unresolved underlying disk. ...

... Asymptotic Studies of Solar and Stellar Dynamo Waves . Firstly, we describe main concepts of the mean field dynamo-theory. Then we formulate position of the dynamo wave problem following Parker (1955) ideas. Using analogues between this and quantum mechanics theory we use the semiclassical approach for WKB asymptotic study of traveling dynamo waves. ... In addition, we outline prospects of application of this theory not only for the solar but for stellar dynamos. ...
