Evolution of morphological features of CMEs deduced from catastrophe model of solar eruptions
Lin, J.; Soon, W.
We describe the evolution of morphological features of the magnetic configuration of CME according to the catastrophe model developed previously. For the parameters chosen for the present work, roughly half of the total mass is nominally contained in the initial flux rope, while the remaining plasma is brought by magnetic reconnection from the cor…
Searching for radiative pumping lines of OH masers: II. The 53.3 µm absorption line towards 1612 MHz OH maser sources
Chen, P. S.; He, J. H.
This is the second paper in a series aiming at searching for infrared pumping lines for galactic 1612 MHz OH masers. Our paper I is devoted to the 34.6 µm absorption lines in ISO SWS spectra towards a large sample of galactic OH/IR sources. This paper analyzes the 53.3 µm line in the ISO LWS spectra towards a similar sample of OH/IR so…
VISPO project: visible image-spectrometer for planetary observations
Piccioni, G.; Capaccioni, F.; De Petris, M. +3 more
Satellite instrumentations designed for planetary studies are often open to other interesting applications from ground: not only one can efficiently carry out detailed calibrations before space data become available, but also the prototypes of the satellite instruments can be successfully employed in different fields ranging from astrophysics to c…
