The authors parameterize the photometric distortion waves in the short-period RS CVn system BH Vir by a dark, circular spot model for the active regions on the...
Long-term Variation of Solar Activity by a Dynamo Based on Magnetic Flux Tubes
We show that cyclic activity and Maunder-type grand minima can be explained by a dynamo driven by the instability of magnetic flux tubes in the overshoot layer...
Looking back at Earth, from Earth, during a lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse offers a unique opportunity to investigate the Earth's atmosphere. Even at its darkest, the Moon in umbra is still lit by solar photons...
The rationale for looking for prokaryote fossils in Martian materials is based on our present understanding of the environmental evolution of that planet in...
