Spectroscopic observations of coronal waves and coronal mass ejections
Harra, L. K.
It is common to use imaging instruments such as EUV and X-ray imagers and coronagraphs to study large-scale phenomena such as coronal mass ejections and coronal waves. Although high resolution spectroscopy is generally limited to a small field of view, its importance in understanding global phenomena should not be under-estimated. I will review cu…
High resolution X-ray spectroscopy and chemical evolution in elliptical galaxies
Loewenstein, Michael; Davis, David S.
We discuss the elemental composition in the hot ISM of elliptical galaxies derived from new and recent X-ray spectral analysis in the context of new phenomenological models of their chemical evolution. Star formation histories, the IMF, the astrophysics of supernovae, and the nature of galactic winds impact the metal content and relative abundance…
Suzaku View of Powerful Gamma-Ray Quasars
Kataoka, Jun
We present the results from multiwavelength campaigns of three powerful gamma-ray quasars, PKS 1510-089, RBS 315 and Swift J0746.3+2548, recently organized with Suzaku. The Suzaku observation provided one of the highest S/N X-ray spectra ever reported between 0.3 and 50 keV. For these quasars, the X-ray spectrum is well represented by an extremely…
The magnetic field near Mars: A comparison between a hybrid model, Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Express observations
Kallio, E.; Fedorov, A.; Janhunen, P. +5 more
Mars Express (MEX) does not carry its own magnetometer which complicates interpretation of ASPERA-3/MEX ion measurements. The direction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is especially important because it, among other things, determines the direction of the convective electric field and orientation of the cross tail current sheet and tail…
Two-dimensional structure and kinematics of a representative sample of low-z ULIRGs
Colina, L.; Arribas, S.; García-Marín, M.
We present the optical INTEGRAL integral field spectroscopy data and Hubble Space Telescope archive images obtained for a representative sample of 22 local Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs LIR >1012Lodot). The sample has been designed for fulfilling a program aimed at studying the internal structure and k…
Galactic X-ray source populations
Motch, C.
The landscape of Galactic X-ray sources made of accreting binaries, isolated objects and active stellar coronae has been significantly modified by the advent of the Chandra, XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL satellites. New types of relatively low X-ray luminosity X-ray binaries have been unveiled in the Galactic disc, while deep observations of the central…

Particle observations and propagation in the Three-Dimensional Heliosphere
Lario, D.; Forsyth, R. J.; Lanzerotti, L. J. +9 more
Ulysses, the first spacecraft ever to fly over the poles of the Sun, plays a central role in the Heliospheric Network, the international fleet of spacecraft to explore the Sun and Heliosphere. In November 2006, Ulysses, began its passage over the Sun’s south pole for the third time. Although like during the first polar passes in 1994/1995 the Sun …
Lecture Notes and Essays in Astrophysics.III. 3rd Symposium of the Astrophysics Group of the Spanish Royal Physical Society (RSEF).
Manteiga, M.; Ulla, A.
The Third volume of "Lecture Notes and Essays in Astrophysics" highlights some important contributions of Spanish astrophysicists to Planetology, Solar and Stellar Physics, Extragalactic Astronomy, Cosmology and astronomical instrumentation. After decades without a dedicated mission, Venus is again in fashion. On the one hand, Ricardo Hueso and co…
The ULF wave in the pile-up and dipolarization process
Liu, Zhen-Xing; Shi, Jian-Kui; Wang, Ji-Ye +3 more
A typical substorm process in the night-side near-Earth magnetotail company with the pile-up and depolarization process explored by TC-1 on sep 17, 2004. We analyzed the FGM and HIA data(4s resolution) with wavelet and FFT analysis method to understand the low-frequency wave in the pile-up and dipolarization process. The analysis results showed th…
