A glowing ribbon of purple light running east-west in the night sky has recently been observed by citizen scientists. This narrow, subauroral, visible structure, distinct from traditional auroral oval, was largely undocumented scientific literature and little known about its formation. Amateur photo sequences showed colors distinctly different common types aurora occasionally indicated magnetic field-aligned substructures. Observations Swarm satellite as it crossed arc have revealed an...

Embryogenesis in hydra includes a variable period of dormancy; and this period, as well subsequent stages through hatching, takes place within thick cuticle that hinders observation. Thus, although the early development have been well-characterized qualitatively, middle later are only poorly understood. Here, we provide detailed description embryogenesis, including time required to traverse each stages, changes occur type number cells throughout stages. The events cleavage gastrulation first...

Abstract Little is currently known about the optical phenomenon as Steve. The first scientific publication on subject suggests that Steve associated with an intense subauroral ion drift (SAID). However, additional inquiry warranted this suggested relationship it based a single case study. Here we present eight occurrences of coincident or near‐coincident measurements from European Space Agency's Swarm satellites and show consistently SAID. When satellite observations are compared to typical...

Abstract There has been an exciting recent development in auroral research associated with the discovery of a new subauroral phenomenon called STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement). Although documented by amateur night sky watchers for decades, it is as yet unidentified upper atmosphere phenomenon. Observed first photographers, appears narrow luminous structure across over thousands kilometers east‐west direction. In this paper, we present statistical analysis properties 28...

Abstract So‐called “Steve” subauroral purple emissions have recently been uncovered by auroral photographers and rapidly become an intense subject of debate as to their origin. In some events, nearby periodic green also given the name “picket fence,” owing appearance. The present paper advances our understanding these phenomena narrowing down altitude extent Steve picket fence emissions. Our determination is based on event 16 September 2017, which was simultaneously observed from two vantage...

Abstract The magnetospheric driver of strong thermal emission velocity enhancement (STEVE) is investigated using conjugate observations when Van Allen Probes' footprint directly crossed both STEVE and stable red aurora (SAR) arc. In the ionosphere, associated with subauroral ion drift features, including electron temperature peak, density gradient, westward flow. SAR arc at lower latitudes corresponds to regions inside plasmapause isotropic plasma heating, which causes redline‐only via heat...

Abstract Omega bands are curved aurora forms that evolve from a quiet arc located along the poleward edge of diffuse auroral band within midnight to morningside oval. They usually propagate eastward. Because omega significant contributor an active magnetotail, knowledge about their generation is important for understanding tail dynamics. Previous studies have shown streamers, footprints fast flows in tail, can into bands. Such events, however, limited, and it still unclear whether how...

Abstract Intense zonal ion velocity jets in the northern nightside auroral zone are measured during quiet geomagnetic conditions by Swarm satellites around 500 km altitude. These jets, exceeding 1 km/s over 50% of orbits measured, range from 20 to 100 meridional thickness and reach a maximum at boundary between upward downward field‐aligned current. On average they represent potential difference approximately 3 kV R1/R2 currents. This also separates different regions electron temperature...

Abstract Large thermospheric neutral density enhancements in the cusp region have been examined for many years. The Challenging Minisatellite Payload (CHAMP) satellite example has enabled observations of perturbation, showing that it is mesoscale size and exists statistically over solar cycle timescales. Further studies examining relationship with magnetospheric energy input shown fine‐scale Poynting fluxes are associated perturbations on a case‐by‐case basis, whilst others found downward...

Abstract The Swarm satellites regularly observe latitudinally narrow ion velocity jets exceeding 1 km/s relative to the surrounding plasma at high latitude. Two distinct categories of duskward directed flow channels are observed. most common situated between Region and 2 currents, observed primarily during quiet geomagnetic conditions, called Birkeland current boundary flows. During active a second type jet is equatorward edge colocated with sharp poleward density gradient, consistent...

Scanning electron microscopy and light histology were used to reveal the changes in overall morphology stem cell differentiation distribution that occur as a free-swimming, solid hydrozoan planula larva is transformed into sessile, hollow adult polyp. Eight stages of development are described: young 10-hour planula, mature 48-hour attaching disc, pawn, crown, immature polyp, primary The larval interstitial population (interstitial cells, nematocytes, ganglion cells) undergoes dramatic during...

When CHO cells are arrested in S-phase, they undergo repeated rounds of centrosome duplication without cell-cycle progression. While the increase is slow and asynchronous, number centrosomes these does rise with time. To investigate mechanisms controlling this duplication, we have S-phase for up to 72 h, coordinately inhibited new centriole formation by treatment microtubule poison colcemid. We find that such cells, pre-existing remain, a variable foci--containing alpha/gamma-tubulin centrin...

Early cleaving are bizarre morphology, however, by end late have rounded to form sphere. Gastrulation is characterized appearance...
