Five coherent sections appear this year, addressing solar physics, cosmology (with WMAP highlights), gamma-ray bursters (and their association with Type Ia supernovae), extra-solar-system planets, and the formation and evolution of galaxies (from reionization to assemblage of Local Group galaxies). There are also eight incoherent sections that deal with other topics in stellar, galactic, and planetary astronomy and the people who study them. 1.

  • Effect of the Solar Wind Density on the Evolution of Normal and Inverse Coronal Mass Ejections S
    A&A 632, A89 (2019) Astronomy https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/201935894 & c ESO 2019 Astrophysics Effect of the solar wind density on the evolution of normal and inverse coronal mass ejections S. Hosteaux, E. Chané, and S. Poedts Centre for mathematical Plasma-Astrophysics (CmPA), Celestijnenlaan 200B, KU Leuven, 3001 Leuven, Belgium e-mail: [email protected] Received 15 May 2019 / Accepted 11 September 2019 ABSTRACT Context. The evolution of magnetised coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their interaction with the background solar wind leading to deflection, deformation, and erosion is still largely unclear as there is very little observational data available. Even so, this evolution is very important for the geo-effectiveness of CMEs. Aims. We investigate the evolution of both normal and inverse CMEs ejected at different initial velocities, and observe the effect of the background wind density and their magnetic polarity on their evolution up to 1 AU. Methods. We performed 2.5D (axisymmetric) simulations by solving the magnetohydrodynamic equations on a radially stretched grid, employing a block-based adaptive mesh refinement scheme based on a density threshold to achieve high resolution following the evolution of the magnetic clouds and the leading bow shocks. All the simulations discussed in the present paper were performed using the same initial grid and numerical methods. Results. The polarity of the internal magnetic field of the CME has a substantial effect on its propagation velocity and on its defor- mation and erosion during its evolution towards Earth. We quantified the effects of the polarity of the internal magnetic field of the CMEs and of the density of the background solar wind on the arrival times of the shock front and the magnetic cloud.

  • Identification of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection with Magnetic Cloud in Year 2005 at 1 AU
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 3, ISSUE 6, JUNE 2014 ISSN 2277-8616 Identification Of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection With Magnetic Cloud In Year 2005 At 1 AU D.S.Burud, R .S. Vhatkar, M. B. Mohite Abstract: Coronal mass ejection (CMEs) propagate in to the interplanetary medium are called as Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection (ICME). A set of signatures in plasma and magnetic field is used to identify the ICMEs. Magnetic Cloud (MC) is a special kind of ICMEs in which internal magnetic field configuration is similar like flux rope. We have used the data obtained from ACE Advance Composition Explorer (ACE) based in-situ measurements of Magnetic Field Experiment (MAG) and Solar Wind Electron, Proton and Alpha Monitor (SWEPAM) experiment for the data of magnetic field and plasma parameters respectively. The magnetic field data and plasma parameters of ICMEs used to distinguish them as magnetic cloud, non magnetic cloud. We analyzed eighteen ICMEs observed during January 2005 to December 2005, which is the beginning of declining phase of solar cycle 23. The analysis of magnetic field in the frames of the flux ropes like structure using a Minimum Variance Analysis (MVA) method, and have identified 30% ICMEs in the year 2005, which shows magnetic field rotation in a plane and confirmed as ICMEs with MCs.

Ipatov Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry, Kosygin st., 19, Moscow 119991, Russia, [email protected] KEYWORDS: heterogeneous accretion, migration, planetesimals, matter delivery, water, vol- atiles, terrestrial planets INTRODUCTION: Toby Owen contributed in many important fields of planetary sciences involv- ing both theoretical research and experimental results returned by space mis- sions. It was a great privilege to discuss with him the most challenging ideas concerning the structure and composition of atmospheres of inner and outer planets, specifically isotopic ratios of noble gases on Mars and Venus aiming to reveal origin and evolution of these planets. Here we address one of these pioneering ideas discussed by Toby Owen in the paper co-authored by F. Anders and published in Science magazine as early as in 1977 [1]. Authors attempted to explain lacking of water and other vola- tiles on Earth after its accum ulation invoking a postulated migration process of volatile-rich bodies from periphery of the solar system at the later phase of its evolution, mainly in the course of Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB) dated around 4 billion years ago. Delivery such a matter and its layered sedimentation (late veneer) on the inner planets’ surface the authors called the mechanism of heterogeneous accretion. The idea drew attention and took further development including computer modeling to ensure its more rigorous support. Results of the study can be found in the numerous publications showing the great advancement in the field (see, e.g., [2, 3] and references therein).
