... Abstract: We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. ... We have explored the dependence of A_l on a conspicuous set of quantities (Hubble type, inclination, dust optical thickness, dust distribution and extinction properties) for a large wavelength interval, ranging from 1250A to the K band, thus finally providing a comprehensive atlas of dust extinction in galaxies, which is electronically available. ...

... During a magnetospheric substorm the cross-tail current is disrupted (e.g., Fairfield and Ness, 1970). A current system called the substorm current wedge (SCW; Atkinson, 1967; McPherron et al., 1973) is formed as this current is diverted through a circuit consisting of earthward (downward) field-aligned currents (FACs) on the eastern side of the wedge, a westward auroral electrojet in the ionosphere , and tailward (upward) FACs on the western side of the wedge. ...
