Abstract: Plasmaspheric rotation is known to lag behind Earth rotation. The causes for this corotation lag are not yet fully understood. We have used more than two years of Van Allen Probe observations to compare the… read more here.

Abstract: We use response models to study the stellar and gaseous flows in the spiral arm regions of slow rotating barred-spiral potentials. We vary the pattern speed so that the corotation-to bar radius ratios (Rc/Rb)$(R_{c}/R_{b})$ are… read more here.
