Korean Historical Records on Halley’s Comet Revisited [PDF]
In this paper, we report the analysis of Korean historical records on the periodic Halley’s comet according to the period (i.e., the Three Kingdoms, Goryeo Dynasty, and Joseon Dynasty) using various sources such as the Samguksagi (The History of the ...

Halley’s Comet has been under surveillance since it was spotted with an advanced detector on the 200-in. telescope in October 1982. It has since shown unexpected variations. We want to know the nature of the frozen nucleus of the comet and the mostly unidentified parent molecules that compose it.

Propagation of nonlinear waves in multi-component pair plasmas and electron–positron–ion plasmas
The propagation of small amplitude stationary profile nonlinear solitary waves in a pair plasma is investigated by employing the reductive perturbation technique via the well-known Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) and modified KdV (mKdV) equations.
