Scattering Cross Sections

The Mott-Schwinger potential arising from the interaction of the magnetic moment of a neutron incident upon an electric field (of 209Bi) is found to have a profound effect upon the elastic scattering cross sections and polarisations at 0�5, 14�5 and 24 MeV. These effects are evaluated by specific solution of the relevant Schrodinger equations (for 100 partial waves) and with the Born approximation used to define the influence upon all higher ones. These 'exact' results agree with the estimations made under approximation in the past, but not Schr6dinger 100 with 'exact' results calculated by a different method.

Using the reconstruction of power input to the magnetosphere presented in Paper 1 Lockwood  et al. [J Space Weather Space Clim 7 (2017a)], we reconstruct annual means of the geomagnetic Ap and AE indices over the past 400 years to within a 1-sigma error of ±20%. In addition, we study the behaviour of the lognormal distribution of daily and hourly values about these annual means and show that we can also reconstruct the fraction of geomagnetically-active (storm-like) days and (substorm-like) hours in each year to accuracies of to accuracies of ~50%, including the large percentage uncertainties in near-zero values. The results are the first physics-based quantification of the space weather conditions in both the Dalton and Maunder minima. Looking to the future, the weakening of Earth's magnetic moment means that the terrestrial disturbance levels during a future repeats of the solar Dalton and Maunder minima will be weaker and we here quantify this effect for the first time.

Laves Phase Compounds

In the past few years, we have witnessed the appearance of exotic magnetism of atoms in nano-scaled systems associated with compounds that are non-magnetic in their bulk form. Different models ranging from orbital magnetism delocalized over the whole molecule to localized one associated to the modification of the electronic structure have been proposed. Hence, one of the main challenges is to determine the mechanism that induces both the magnetic moment and the exchange interactions, leading to the ferromagnetic-like behaviour in these nanostructures. Aimed at obtaining a deeper insight into the induction of magnetic moments on nominally non-magnetic atoms, we have performed an XMCD study on rare-earth–iron Laves phase compounds containing Ga or Ge. XMCD probes the magnetic polarization of both Ga and Ge in these compounds. Our results show that when the rare-earth (R) is non-magnetic this polarization is uniquely due to the hybridization with the Fe neighbours, while it is enhanced when R is magnetic due to the Fe–R hybridization. As a consequence, the magnetic polarization of both Ge and Ga atoms differs as this hybridization does.

A continuum survey of the galactic-centre region has been carried out at Parkes at 20 cm wavelength over the areal11= 355° to 5°,b11= -3° to +3° (Kerr and Sinclair 1966, 1967). This is a larger region than has been covered in such surveys in the past. The observations were done as declination scans.

Origin Of The Moon

During the last 10 years, the writer has presented evidence indicating that the Moon was captured by the Earth and that the large collisions with its surface occurred within a surprisingly short period of time. These observations have been a continuous preoccupation during the past years and some explanation that seemed physically possible and reasonably probable has been sought.

History Of

It is generally accepted that history is an element of culture and the historian a member of society, thus, in Croce's aphorism, that the only true history is contemporary history. It follows from this that when there occur great changes in the contemporary scene, there must also be great changes in historiography, that the vision not merely of the present but also of the past must change.

It is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the past decade in astronomy that the evolution of some major classes of astronomical objects has become accessible to detailed research. The theory of the evolution of individual stars has developed into a substantial body of quantitative investigations. The evolution of galaxies, particularly of our own, has clearly become a subject for serious research. Even the history of the solar system, this close-by intriguing puzzle, may soon make the transition from being a subject of speculation to being a subject of detailed study in view of the fast flow of new data obtained with new techniques, including space-craft.

During the past several years, a systematic search for novae in the Magellanic Clouds has been carried out at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory. The Curtis Schmidt telescope, on loan to CTIO from the University of Michigan is used to obtain plates every two weeks during the observing season. An objective prism is used on the telescope. This provides additional low-dispersion spectroscopic information when a nova is discovered. The plates cover an area of 5°x5°. One plate is sufficient to cover the Small Magellanic Cloud and four are taken of the Large Magellanic Cloud with an overlap so that the central bar is included on each plate. The methods used in the search have been described by Graham and Araya (1971). In the CTIO survey, 8 novae have been discovered in the Large Cloud but none in the Small Cloud. The survey was not carried out in 1974 or 1976. During 1974, one nova was discovered in the Small Cloud by MacConnell and Sanduleak (1974).

Definition Of

During the past investigations of immunoferritin localization of intracellular antigens in ultrathin frozen sections, we found that the degree of negative staining required to delineate u1trastructural details was often too dense for the recognition of ferritin particles. The quality of positive staining of ultrathin frozen sections, on the other hand, has generally been far inferior to that attainable in conventional plastic embedded sections, particularly in the definition of membranes. As we discussed before, a main cause of this difficulty seemed to be the vulnerability of frozen sections to the damaging effects of air-water surface tension at the time of drying of the sections.Indeed, we found that the quality of positive staining is greatly improved when positively stained frozen sections are protected against the effects of surface tension by embedding them in thin layers of mechanically stable materials at the time of drying (unpublished).
