Perturbations to Stellar Structure in 2D: Stellar Rotation and Heating in X-ray Binaries [PDF]
We have developed a numerical code with which we study the effects of 2D perturbations on stellar structure. We present new numerical and analytical results on the heating of a main-sequence star in a binary system by its companion.

Abstract Ionospheric molecular ions, such as N2+ ${\mathrm{N}}_{2}^{+}$, NO+, and O2+ ${\mathrm{O}}_{2}^{+}$, have been observed in Earth's high‐altitude ionosphere and the magnetosphere by several spacecraft missions. Their presence not only indicates that they obtain sufficient energy through effective energization mechanisms, predominantly during ...

Self-consistent gas and stellar dynamics of disk galaxies: A problem of dark mass [PDF]
We present results of numerical modeling made for the galactic stellar and stellar-gas disk embedded in the spherical halo and bulge. The stellar disk is simulated by N-body system, the equations of hydrodynamics are solved by TVD-method. We used TREEcode-algorithm for calculation of a self-gravity in stellar and gaseous components.

Abstract The prospect that the five major moons of Uranus could host subsurface oceans makes them high‐priority targets for future exploration. Different techniques can be used to search for deep oceans in these objects. Here, we focus on ocean detection and characterization from measurements of the moons' response to the gravitational tides and ...

Uncertainties in stellar abundance analyses [PDF]
Over the last half-century quantitative stellar spectroscopy has made great progress. However, most stellar abundance analyses today still employ rather simplified models, which can introduce severe systematic errors swamping the observational errors. Some of these uncertainties for late-type stars are briefly reviewed here: atomic and molecular data ...

Abstract Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are unwanted currents flowing in long grounded conductors because of space weather phenomena. Example GICs are those flowing in power transmission lines via grounded transformer neutrals. Prediction models, used to foresee the amplitudes and waveforms of those currents and to identify weak points in ...

The formation of planetary disks and winds: an ultraviolet view
Planetary systems are angular momentum reservoirs generated during star formation. This accretion process produces very powerful engines able to drive the optical jets and the molecular outflows.

Absolute Wavelength Shifts - A new diagnostic for rapidly rotating stars [PDF]
Accuracies reached in space astrometry now permit the accurate determination of astrometric radial velocities, without any use of spectroscopy. Knowing this true stellar motion, spectral shifts intrinsic to stellar atmospheres can be identified, for instance gravitational redshifts and those caused by velocity fields on stellar surfaces.

An Evaluation of Equatorial Perturbation Electric Fields Using Empirical Vertical Drift Models
Abstract We examined the electrodynamic impact of four geomagnetic storms of increasing intensities on the equatorial ionosphere: a moderate storm (27–28 September 2017), a strong storm (17–18 April 2002), a severe storm (07–08 September 2017), and an extreme storm (09–10 November 2004).
