For the first time, we present and discuss EUV radiances of the solar transition region (TR) and corona obtained during a solar cycle. The measurements were obtained with the SOHO/coronal diagnostic spectrometer (CDS) during the period from…

The Infrared Space Observatory observed over 900 objects with the Short Wavelength Spectrometer in full-grating-scan mode (2.4-45.2 micron). We have developed a comprehensive system of spectral classification using these data. Sources are…

Eight luminous quasars with $ -30 < M_B < -27$ at z = 1.4 - 3.7 have been observed in the mid- and far-infrared using ISO. All the quasars have been detected in the mid-infrared bands of ISOCAM, while no far-infrared detections have been…

Solar irradiance is the primary input for all solar energy generation systems. The amount of available solar radiation over time under the local weather conditions helps to decide the optimal location, technology and size of a solar energy…

SWAG ("Survey of Water and Ammonia in the Galactic Center") is a multi-line interferometric survey toward the Center of the Milky Way conducted with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. The survey region spans the entire ~400pc Central…

The use of Immersed Gratings offers advantages for both space- and ground-based spectrographs. As diffraction takes place inside the high-index medium, the optical path difference and angular dispersion are boosted proportionally, thereby…

Ground-based whole sky cameras are extensively used for localized monitoring of clouds nowadays. They capture hemispherical images of the sky at regular intervals using a fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a framework for estimating…

The convectively driven, weakly magnetized regions of the solar photosphere dominate the Sun's surface at any given time, but the temporal variations of these quiet regions of the photosphere throughout the solar cycle are still not well…

The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a project aimed at studying the magnetic connectivity of the solar atmosphere, from the deep photosphere to the upper chromosphere. Its design combines the knowledge and expertise gathered by the…

The Mg/Ne abundance ratio in the quiet Sun is measured in both network and supergranule cell centre regions through EUV spectra from the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer on SOHO. Twenty four sets of data over the period 1996 March to 1998…

This paper extends the method introduced in Rivi et al. (2016b) to measure galaxy ellipticities in the visibility domain for radio weak lensing surveys. In that paper we focused on the development and testing of the method for the simple…

We report multi-wavelength observations of four solar flares on 2014 July 07. We firstly select these flares according to the soft X-ray (SXR) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) emissions recorded by the Extreme Ultraviolet Variability…

The solar X-ray continuum emission at five wavelengths between 3.495 Angstroms and 4.220 Angstroms for 19 flares in a seven-month period in 2002--2003 was observed by the RESIK crystal spectrometer on CORONAS-F. In this wavelength region,…

Measurements of the power spectrum of the atmospheric seeing in the line of sight of the Sun, in the range 0.001-1 Hz, have been performed in Santa Maria degli Angeli Lucernaria Dome, at IRSOL and in Huairou Station. This study is aimed to…

We describe a fully broadband approach for electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments where it is possible to not only tune the magnetic field but also the frequency continuously over wide ranges. Here a metallic coplanar transmission line…

An inert sphere of a few meters diameter, placed in a special stable geosynchronous orbit in perpetuo, can be used for a variety of scientific experiments. Ground-based observations of such a sphere, "GeoSphere", can resolve very difficult…

Understanding space weather is vital for the protection of our terrestrial and space infrastructure. In order to predict space weather accurately, large amounts of data are required, particularly in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum.…

The last measurement of the diffuse emission spectrum of the Milky Way in the megaelectronvolt (MeV) photon energy range was performed by CGRO/COMPTEL more than 20 years ago. We report a new analysis with the spectrometer SPI aboard…

We present results of a global survey of single-pixel intensity power spectra from a 12-hour time period on 26 June 2013 in a 1600x1600 pixel region from four channels of the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) Atmospheric Imaging Assembly…

The composition of Europa's trailing hemisphere reflects the combined influences of endogenous geologic resurfacing and exogenous sulfur radiolysis. Using spatially resolved visible-wavelength spectra of Europa obtained with the Hubble…
