Cold (eV) ions of ionospheric origin are a major source magnetospheric plasma. These dominate the number density for most volume magnetosphere, time. This affects large-scale physics, including plasma temperature and pressure (and thus instability thresholds) Alfvén velocity energy transport with waves magnetic reconnection rate). also small-scale kinetic wave generation Hall physics reconnecti...

Some features of the high temperature gluonic matter, such as the breakdown of the fundamental group symmetry by the kinetic energy, the screening of test quarks by some unusual gluon states and the explanation of the absence of isolated quarks in the vacuum without the help of infinities are presented in this talk. Special attention is paid to separate the dynamical input inferred from the num...

Understanding the global meteor flux at Earth requires the measurement of meteor velocities. While several radar methods exist for measuring meteor velocity, they may be biased by plasma reflection mechanisms. This paper presents a new method for deriving meteoroid velocity from the altitudinal extent of non-specular trails. This method employs our recent discoveries on meteor trail plasma inst...
