In order to adequately understand the effects that energetic particle precipitation bears on radio wave absorption, we have analysed cosmic noise absorption (CNA) measured by the imaging riometer at Kilpisjarvi, Finland (IRIS) during 1996-2011. We analysed periods of co-rotating interaction regions(CIR) occurring as a result of the interaction of high speed solar wind streams emanating from...
A plane polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave that propagates through a plasma, (anti-)parallel to a magnetic field, experiences a gradual rotation of its plane of polarization called Faraday rotation (FR). Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) signals are linearly plane polarized and therefore are susceptible to FR as they traverse the ionospheric plasma, where they encounter a...
The Michelson Interferometer for Airglow Dynamics Imaging (MIADI) is a field widened Michelson interferometer which provides images of wind using Doppler shifts in interference fringes from terrestrial airglow emissions. Although it is thermally compensated by using different glasses, some residual temperature dependence remains. Close examination of the interference fringes using a fixed...
This investigation reports on the 2016 Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) observation of the Galactic Center (GC). Two new transients were identified within the Galactic Center, Swift J174540.7-290015 (Transient 15) and Swift J174540.2-290037 (Transient 37). Having observed the GC for 10 years and detected no prior outburst, it can be concluded that the time between outburst...
High resolution and high signal to noise spectra of two HgMn stars, HD53929 and HD63975, were analysed in the frame of Project VeSElkA (Vertical Stratification of Element Abundances) to search for vertical stratification of element abundances in their stellar atmospheres. These stars show signatures of a slow axial rotation and most probably possess hydrodynamically stable stellar atmospheres,...
The results of analysing of the chemical abundance in stellar atmosphere of Sirius are presented as a part of the project VeSElkA that aims to search for evidence of vertical stratification of elements’ abundance in chemically peculiar (CP) stars. Using the high resolution and high signal to noise spectra obtained with the spectropolarimeter NARVAL, we have analysed hundreds of line profiles...
