Can Dust Explain Variations in the D/h Ratio?
The D/H ratio in interstellar gas varies on scales of a few hundred pc in the local Milky Way, with D/H values ranging from ∼7 ppm to ∼22 ppm. The reduction in D/H relative to the primordial value of D/H ≈ 26 ppm is usually attributed to " astration " – conversion of D into other elements by nuclear fusion in stars. However, it is shown here that astration has difficulty accounting for the obse...
متن کاملDo climate variations explain bilateral migration? A gravity model analysis
© A m Abstract: This paper investigates to what extent international migration can be explained by climatic variations. A gravity model of migration augmented with average temperature and precipitation in the country of origin is estimated using a panel data set of 142 sending countries for the period 1995 to 2006. We find two primary results. First, temperature is positively correlated with mi...
متن کاملThe Sun's role in climate variations.
Is the Sun the controller of climate changes, only the instigator of changes that are mostly forced by the system feedbacks, or simply a convenient scapegoat for climate variations lacking any other obvious cause? This question is addressed for suggested solar forcing mechanisms operating on time scales from billions of years to decades. Each mechanism fails to generate the expected climate res...
متن کاملComposition Variations in the Solar Corona and Solar Wind
Order of magnitude variations in relative elemental abundances are observed in the solar corona and solar wind. The instruments aboard SOHO make it possible to explore these variations in detail to determine whether they arise near the solar surface or higher in the corona. A substantial enhancement of low First Ionization Potential (FIP) elements relative to high FIP elements is often seen in ...
متن کاملTheory of Solar Luminosity Variations
The theory of stellar structure can be used to identify the most plausible mechanisms for the irradiance variations associated with the solar cycle. Changes in surface emissivity, i.e. the reduced cooling in spots and enhanced emission by small scale magnetic fields, are the most effective mechanisms and account for most of the observed variation. Helioseismology will soon be able to test the c...
