Onsets and Flapping Studied Using a Dynamic Harris Sheet Model
(2007-10-31)
We have developed a nonlinear fitting routine for the Harris current sheet based on magnetic data, and applied it to 71 plasma sheet crossings by Cluster. In most cases this simple fit appeared to represent the magnetic ...

Optimization of Models
(University of Alberta, 1998)
The parameters of model auroral current systems were described in the previous chapter. To model the currents at any given time, these parameters must be adjusted to provide an optimal match to the available observations. ...
An Online Mechanics Experiment
(2006-09-30)
Physics distance education has grown rapidly in recent years. The theory part of a physics course taught in this way has much common ground with other courses. However, lab instruction is an important part of introductory ...
A One-meter Robotic Telescope for Western Canada
(2008-10-11)
1-m class telescopes are arguably the
workhorses of modern astronomy and
represent an excellent return of science for a
relatively modest capital investment. Such
instruments can be used in large-field survey
work, ...
Co-orbitals CASCA Talk
(2006-06)
Presentation from CASCA 2006 covering general aspects of co-orbital motion with emphasis on the fact that they would be good targets for space missions.

Inner solar system dynamical analogs of plutinos
(2007-11-20)
By studying orbits of asteroids potentially in 3:2 exterior mean motion resonance with Earth, Venus, and Mars, we have found plutino analogs. We identify at least 27 objects in the inner solar system dynamically protected ...
