Interplanetary Magnetic Field Effect on the Location of the Martian Bow Shock: MAVEN Observations
The Martian bow shock (BS) is generated with the mass-loading and magnetic pileup processes when the solar wind interacts with the Martian ionosphere. In this vein, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) frozen in the solar wind can affect the location ...

Diffusive Plasma Transport by the Magnetopause Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability During Southward IMF
At the Earth’s low-latitude magnetopause, the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) waves, which are driven by the super-Alfvénic velocity shear across the magnetopause, have been frequently observed during periods of northward interplanetary-magnetic-field (IMF) and ...

Dynamical evolution of star clusters with top-heavy IMF [PDF]
AbstractSeveral observational and theoretical studies suggest that the initial mass function (IMF) slope for massive stars in globular clusters (GCs) depends on the initial cloud density and metallicity, such that the IMF becomes increasingly top-heavy with decreasing metallicity and increasing the gas density of the forming object.

Statistical Birkeland current distributions from magnetic field observations by the Iridium constellation [PDF]
We present a statistical analysis of Birkeland currents derived from Iridium magnetometer data acquired in the Northern Hemisphere to determine the dependence of large-scale currents on the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) direction.

The Central Dark Matter Fraction of Massive Early-Type Galaxies
Dark matter (DM) is predicted to be the dominant mass component in galaxies. In the central region of early-type galaxies it is expected to account for a large amount of the total mass, although the stellar mass should still represent the majority of the

On being grandmotherly: The evolution of IMF conditionality [PDF]
The principle of conditionality has always been at the centre of the controversy over the influence the International Monetary Fund should wield over national policies in connexion with its loans, to such a point that there were animated arguments on the matter during the negotiations to establish the IMF, not only between the European countries and ...

Three-dimensional MHD simulation of interplanetary magnetic field changes at 1 AU as a consequence of simulated solar flares [PDF]
A fully three-dimensional (3D), time-dependent, MHD interplanetary global model (3D IGM) has been used, for the first time, to study the relationship between different forms of solar activity and transient variations of the north-south component, Bz ...

Transforming the Functions of IMF and Cooperation with Russia [PDF]
The article explores the evolution of the IMF’s role in the regulation of international monetary system. It is observed that the conflict between the competencies of the IMF as an international regulator, empowered to intervene in monetary and financial ...

Variation of the High-mass Slope of the Stellar Initial Mass Function: Theory Meets Observations
We present observational evidence of a correlation between the high-mass slope of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) in young star clusters and their stellar surface density, σ _* .
