AbstractA possible scenario of polar magnetic field reversal of the Sun during the Maunder Minimum (1645–1715) is discussed using data of magnetic field reversals of the Sun for 1880–1991 and the14Ccontent variations in the bi-annual rings of the pine-trees in 1600–1730 yrs.

AbstractThe bias voltage dependent spectral response (with and without steady state bias light) and the current voltage dependence has been simulated and compared to experimentally obtained values. Results show that in the heterostructures the bias voltage influences differently the field and the diffusion part of the photocurrent. The interchange between primary and secondary photocurrent (i. e. between generator and load device operation) is explained by the interaction of the field and the diffusion components of the photocurrent. A field reversal that depends on the light bias conditions (wavelength and intensity) explains the photocurrent reversal. The field reversal leads to the collapse of the diode regime (primary photocurrent) launches surface recombination at the p-i and i-n interfaces which is responsible for a double-injection regime (secondary photocurrent). Considerations about conduction band offsets, electrical field profiles and inversion layers will be taken into account to explain the optical and voltage bias dependence of the spectral response.

ABSTRACT The first confirmed periodically varying 6.031 and 6.035 GHz hydroxyl masers are reported here. They vary contemporaneously with the 6.7 GHz methanol masers in G323.459–0.079. The 1.665 GHz hydroxyl and 12.2  GHz methanol masers associated with G323.459–0.079 are also periodic. Evidence for periodicity is seen in all features in all transitions save a single 1.665 GHz hydroxyl maser feature. Historical excited-state hydroxyl maser observations set a stricter upper limit on the epoch in which a significant accretion event occurred. The associated burst in 6.7 GHz methanol maser activity has subsided significantly while the hydroxyl transitions are brightening possibly the result of changing physical conditions in the masing cloudlets. Time lags in methanol are confirmed and may be the result of the periodic flaring propagating outward from the central region of maser activity. A possible magnetic field reversal occurred during the accretion event.

Abstract. Using hybrid simulations, we examine how particles can diffuse across the Earth's magnetopause because of finite Larmor radius effects. We focus on tangential discontinuities and consider a reversal of the magnetic field that closely models the magnetopause under southward interplanetary magnetic field. When the Larmor radius is on the order of the field reversal thickness, we show that particles can cross the discontinuity. We also show that with a realistic initial shear flow, a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability develops that increases the efficiency of the crossing process. We investigate the distribution functions of the transmitted ions and demonstrate that they are structured according to a D-shape. It accordingly appears that magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause is not the only process that leads to such specific distribution functions. A simple analytical model that describes the built-up of these functions is proposed.

Abstract The geomagnetic field is among the most striking features of the Earth. By far the most important ingredient of it is generate in the fluid conductive outer core and it is known as the main field. It is characterized by a strong dipolar component as measured on the Earth’s surface. It is well established the fact that the dipolar component has reversed polarity many times, a phenomenon dubbed as dipolar field reversal (DFR). There have been proposed numerous models focused on describing the statistical features of the occurrence of such phenomena. One of them is the domino model, a simple toy model that despite its simplicity displays a very rich dynamic. This model incorporates several aspects of the outer core dynamics like the effect of rotation of Earth, the appearance of convective columns which create their own magnetic field, etc. In this paper we analyse the phase space of parameters of the model and identify several regimes. The two main regimes are the polarity changing one and the regime where the polarity remains the same. Also, we draw some scaling laws that characterize the relationship between the parameters and the mean time between reversals (mtr), the main output of the model.
