The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) has been observed in the solar atmosphere. Ion-neutral collisions may play a relevant role for the growth rate and evolution of the KHI in solar partially ionized plasmas such as in, e.g., solar prominences. Here, we investigate the linear phase of the KHI at an interface between two partially ionized

The Ovide (Observatoire de la Variabilité Interannuelle à DEcennale) project has consisted on repeated trans-oceanic hydrographic section from Greenland to Portugal every other year (from 2002 to 2010). This project is part of the CLIVAR (Climate Variability and Predictability) and CARBOOCEAN international programs, both focused on ocean climate

Periodic movements of the trawl fishing fleet at Mallorca Island suggest a seasonal variability of the demersal resources, associated with hydrodynamic variability. The area where these commercial fisheries operate extends from the north to the southeast of Mallorca channel, between Mallorca and Ibiza Islands. It is thus affected by the different

Nadir observation In this work we study the nadir observations of oxygen day-glow at Mars with the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer on board the Mars Express ESA mission (PFS-MEX). The map of the airglow over the planet during four Martian years starting from orbit 640 (2004-07-20, Martian year 27, Solar Longitude LS = 63°) to orbit 9550 (2011-06-26

We find that the relative contribution of satellite galaxies accreted at high redshift to the stellar population of the Milky Way's smooth halo increases with distance, becoming observable relative to the classical smooth halo about 15 kpc from the Galactic center. In particular, we determine line-of-sight-averaged [Fe/H] and [α/Fe] in the metal

Aims: The appearance of two recent supernovae, SN 2011dh and 2005cs, both in M 51, provides an opportunity to derive an improved distance to their host galaxy by combining the observations of both SNe. Methods: We apply the Expanding Photosphere Method to get the distance to M 51 by fitting the data of these two SNe simultaneously. In order to
