Research Study on Dynamics of the Solar Atmosphere.
Abstract
The first section summarizes the theoretical studies carried out on loop prominences as current loops rather than magnetic lines of force, and on problems connected with the general theory of relativity. The latter studies lead to the conclusion, among others, that Black Holes are a mathematical fiction, impossible of physical existence. The following section deals with research in the general area of solar-terrestrial relations, one investigation directly in this area and the other, climate history, having at present only a potential for linkage to solar activity, and receiving only minor support from this contract. The former, begun under the predecessor contract, explores the relations between the intensity of coronal Fe XV emission, the level of geomagnetic activity, and the velocity of the solar wind, and was completed and published during the period of this contract.
