WD 1145+017 is currently the only white dwarf known to exhibit periodic transits of planetary debris as well as absorption lines from circumstellar gas. We...
Fast X-ray transient EP240315A from a Lyman-continuum-leaking galaxy at z ≈ 5
The nature of the minute-to-hour-long fast X-ray transients localized by telescopes such as Chandra, Swift and XMM-Newton remains mysterious, with numerous...
Fast X-ray/IR observations of the black hole transient Swift J1753.5–0127: From an IR lead to a very long jet lag
We report two epochs of simultaneous near-infrared (IR) and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary black hole candidate Swift J1753.5–0127 with a...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion and Ambipolar Heating in Structured Media. I. Simplified Cold Plasma Model
Linear fast magnetoacoustic waves are introduced into a cold stratified plasma model made up of a doubly periodic ensemble of straight diminished-Alfvén-speed...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion and Ambipolar Heating in Structured Media. II. Numerical Simulation
This paper studies the effectiveness of production of Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere through the processes of mode conversion, taking into account several...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion in the Presence of Ambipolar Diffusion
It is known that fast magnetohydrodynamic waves partially convert to upward and/or downward propagating Alfvén waves in a stratified atmosphere where Alfvén...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion Mediated by Hall Current. II. Application to the Solar Atmosphere
Coupling between fast magnetoacoustic and Alfvén waves can be observed in fully ionized plasmas mediated by stratification and 3D geometrical effects. In Paper...
Fast-to-Alfvén Mode Conversion Mediated by the Hall Current. I. Cold Plasma Model
The photospheric temperature minimum in the Sun and solar-like stars is very weakly ionized, with an ionization fraction f as low as 10‑4. In galactic star...
Faulting geometry for the complex 1980 Campania-Lucania earthquake from levelling data
The destructive 1980 Campania-Lucania earthquake was a complex event, consisting of at least three subevents. While the main features of the first (0 s) and of...
