Structure, luminosity, and dynamics of the Venus thermosphere

Bougher, S. W.; Fox, J. L.

We review here observations and models related to the chemical and thermal structures, airglow and auroral emissions and dynamics of the Venus thermosphere, and compare empirical models of the neutral densities based in large part on in situ measurements obtained by the Pioneer Venus spacecraft. Observations of the intensities of emissions are imp…

The Cataclysmic Variable Ss-Cygni

Giovannelli, F.; Martinez-Pais, I. G.

In this work we will try to give the most general panorama, comparatively with the conciseness, on SS Cygni which is the brightest dwarf nova. The dwarf novae form a sub-class of the more vaste panorama of the Cataclysmic Variables (CVs). For this reason firstly we will describe in general the CVs and the current theories which attempt to describe…
