Seismological evidence for a localized mushy zone at the Earth’s inner core boundary

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
The existence of a mushy zone in the Earth’s inner core has been suggested, but has remained unproven. Here, the authors have discovered a 4–8 km thick mushy zone at the inner core boundary beneath the Okhotsk Sea, indicating that there may be more ...

The Progenitor Dependence of the Preexplosion Neutrino Emission in Core-Collapse Supernovae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We perform spherically-symmetric general-relativistic simulations of core collapse and the postbounce preexplosion phase in 32 presupernova stellar models of solar metallicity with zero-age-main-sequence masses of 12 M_{sun} to 120 M_{sun}.

Core Phases and the Inner Core Boundary [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1964
Summary A study is made of waves of short period and small amplitude arriving before and after P in the interval of 120°-155° by using 215 readings of 53 earthquakes as recorded by the Swedish seismological network from 1951 to 1962. Travel-time curves are determined for two phases PO and P1 preceding P up to 10–15 s and 6 s, respectively, also for ...

The Inner-Core Size Increase of Typhoon Megi (2010) During its Rapid Intensification Phase

open access: yesTropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2013
: While Typhoon Megi (2010) shared many common features of tropical cyclones (TCs) that crossed Luzon Island in northern Philippines, it experienced a significant inner-core size increase with little eyewall contraction during its rapid intensification ...

Combined analysis of solar neutrino and solar irradiance data: further evidence for variability of the solar neutrino flux and its implications concerning the solar core

open access: yes, 2008
A search for any particular feature in any single solar neutrino dataset is unlikely to establish variability of the solar neutrino flux since the count rates are very low.

The Anelasticity of the Inner Core [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Journal International, 1974
Summary Spectral ratios of short-period core phases with common source and receiver and with nearly the same ray paths in the mantle have been formed to derive a Q-structure for 1 Hz compressional waves in the inner core. Data from one large array (NORSAR) have been used to extract the relevant phases, including the pairs (PKIKP, PKiKP), (PKIKP, PKP(

Understanding of double-curvature shaped magnetoimpedance profiles in Joule-annealed and tensioned microwires at 8-12 GHz

open access: yes, 2014
We have investigated for the first time the combined effect of current and stress on the GMI characteristics of vanishing-magnetostrictive Co-rich microwires at microwave frequency.

Pattern of Inner‐Core Differential Rotation From Long‐Term Earthquake Sequences and USArray Network

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
How the differential rotation of the Earth's inner core (IC) has changed over time provides insights into the dynamics of the Earth's interior. Analyses of repeating earthquakes (doublets) have yielded different models.

Using Faraday Rotation Gradients to probe Magnetic Tower Models

open access: yes, 2009
Parsec-scale multi-wavelength VLBA polarization observations can be used to study the magnetic-field structures of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) based on Faraday Rotation (FR) gradients. A number of transverse FR gradients have been found, and interpreted

Joint inversion for inner core rotation, inner core anisotropy, and mantle heterogeneity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2000
Observational evidence for differential rotation of the inner core has recently been reported from time‐dependent travel times of the seismic inner core phase, PKP(DF). These analyses are hindered by potential biases from the mantle heterogeneity and systematic earthquake location errors, which have raised doubts about the reality of the inferred ...
