Satellite potentials in the outer plasmasphere range from near zero to +5 to +10 V. Under such conditions ion measurements may not include the low energy core of the plasma population. In eclipse, the photoelectron current drops to zero, and the spacecraft potential can drop to near zero volts. In regions where the ambient plasma density is below 100 cm, previously unobserved portions of the am...

Short lead-time forecasts using the operational United Kingdom variable-resolution (UKV) configuration of the Met Office's numerical weather prediction model, with horizontal grid-length 1.5 km over the UK, with and without a representation of the 20 March 2015 eclipse, have been used to simulate the impact of the eclipse on UK weather. The major impact was surface-driven through changes to sur...

We present high-resolution ( ) UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph spectra of the eclipsing pre–mainR ∼ 44,000 sequence star KH 15D covering the wavelength range 4780–6810 Å obtained at three phases: out of eclipse, near minimum light, and during egress. The system evidently acts as a natural coronagraph, enhancing the contrast relative to the continuum of hydrogen and forbidden emission lines durin...

Adding new functionality to graphical editors like openOME usually requires to become familiar with the programming environment of the underlying framework. We present an interface for Eclipse EMF/GMF-based modelling tools that allows to add new functionality very quickly without the need to be familiar with Eclipse development.

A total lunar eclipse is conjectured to have influence on the physical conditions of an environmental area, particularly on the brightness of the sky. The phenomenon might also be relevant on weather parameters change on Earth, such as temperature, humidity and pressure, though a straightforward correlation is not easy to establish. This work mainly aims at measuring the brightness of the sky a...

The innovative approach lies on declarative descriptions. All shape characteristics and behaviors can be easily configured with a minimum technical knowledge. The editors are defined by a model which defines the complete structure of the modeling workbench, its behavior and all the edition and navigation tools. This description is dynamically interpreted using GMF runtime to materialize the wor...

Eclipse is an architectural framework for on-chip CPU and coprocessor communication, combining application configuration flexibility with the efficiency of functionspecific hardware. A Kahn process network application model is supported by a generic communication infrastructure and function-specific processors with multi-tasking capabilities. High data bandwidth and limited stream buffer memory...
