RESEARCH ON RELATIONS BETWEEN COMETARY, SOLAR AND UPPER ATMOSPHERIC PROCESSES.

Abstract

Laboratory work has been carried on: the time resolution of spectra; the spectra of several molecules of astronomical or geophysical interest; various photometric and spectrographic instruments; the study of photomultipliers; the study of diffraction gratings. The physical mechanisms in comets have been further discussed. Other instrumental, observational and theoretical programs of cometary, solar and stellar investigations have been started. Investigations related to space experiments are mainly concerned with the far ultraviolet spectra of stars, planets, comets and aurorae, and with artificial comets. New types of spectrographs have been designed and constructed in preparation of space experiments. (Author)
