One very important space mission has already provided definite answers about cosmology, the quest to understand the origin and fate of the Universe. ... Ground-based gravitational wave telescopes like LIGO and VIRGO now being completed; and space-based telescopes like LISA should open an entire new window on the Universe, by looking at the gravitational radiation being emitted by extremely large or compact sources, like double black holes, or coalescing neutron stars. ...

... One important issue for the spectral analysis with X-ray detectors is the treatment of background for extended sources. ... To deal with the particle background (more or less constant outside proton flares), one should assign weights to the reference event list and extract images or spectra using the same spectral or spatial (in detector coordinates) selection as the source. The original spatial selection (on the source) is usually applied to sky coordinates (not detector coordinates). ...

spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 September 1998, 2020 UT (RR) . Traveling Convection Vortex (TCV) is a name given to a specific type of daytime magnetic impulsive events observed by high-latitude ground-based magnetometer arrays. Since the most likely source for TCVs is the solar wind , they are considered to be important processes in transfering energy from the solar wind into the magnetosphere . ... For example, one AMPTE Lithium release in the solar wind caused a TCV event . ...
