Longitudinal Variation of H2O Ice Absorption on Miranda by Riley A. DeColibus, Nancy J. Chanover, Richard J. Cartwright

“…We undertook an extensive observational campaign to investigate variations of the NIR spectral signature of H _2 O ice with longitude on Miranda’s northern hemisphere. We acquired 22 new spectra with the TripleSpec spectrograph on the ARC 3.5 m telescope and four new spectra with GNIRS on Gemini North. …”

Morphological variation across space does not predict phenotypic change through time in two Neogene planktonic foraminifera species by Anieke Brombacher, Paul A. Wilson, Ian Bailey, Thomas H. G. Ezard, Thomas H. G. Ezard

“…Our study interval is 600,000 years long, spans the Neogene/Quaternary boundary and includes Earth’s most recent major natural shift in global climate state: the intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation.ResultsWe show that, despite powerful global temporal changes in climate, there is a strong spatial signal in the evolutionary response. …”

Energy transfer across magnetopause under dawn–dusk IMFs by H. X. Zhang, J. Y. Lu, M. Wang

“…A significant energy inflow appears on the dawn side in the northern hemisphere and the dusk side in the southern hemisphere near the polar cusp. (3) The energy distribution characteristics across the magnetopause under dawn–dusk IMFs are mirror symmetric about the $$Y=0$$ Y = 0 plane. (4) For a magnetic field of 5 nT, the electromagnetic energy input under the dawn–dusk IMFs is twice as large as the mechanical energy and the electromagnetic energy under the radial IMF, which is five times as large as the electromagnetic energy during the pure northward IMF, but only half as large as the electromagnetic energy under the pure southward IMF. …”

A Partial Eruption of a Sigmoid Filament in the Small Dipole Active Region 12734 by Jihong Liu, Yin Zhang, Yuhong Zheng, Yu Liu, Jie Chen

“…During its solar disk passage before the flare, the AR had the following characteristics: (1) Most of the time, the magnetic field lines in the AR showed a sigmoidal structure (‘L1’) in the low corona and arc-shaped loops (i.e., ‘L2’) in the upper atmosphere. (2) An ‘X’-shaped structure was formed between the original ‘S’-shaped magnetic loop (‘L1’) and the newly rising one (‘L3’) between the main positive and negative magnetic polarities of the sunspots, and the intersection point of flux ropes ‘L1’ and ‘L3’ corresponds well with the area where the initial extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) 1600 Å brightening of the flare occurred. (3) The AR disobeyed the hemispherical helicity rule and had magnetic twist and writhe of the same signs, i.e., its magnetic helicity/current helicity were positive in the northern hemisphere. (4) Sustained magnetic emergence and cancellation occurred before the flare. …”
