Characteristics of equatorial gravity waves derived from mesospheric airglow imaging observations
We present the characteristics of small-scale (<100 km) gravity waves in the equatorial mesopause region derived from OH airglow imaging observations at Kototabang (100.3° E, 0.2° S), Indonesia, from 2002 to 2005. We adopted a method that could automatically detect gravity waves in the airglow images using two-dimensional cross power spectra of gravity waves. The propagation directions of the waves were likely controlled by zonal filtering due to stratospheric mean winds that show a quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) and the presence of many wave sources in the troposphere

Stoner gap in the superconducting ferromagnet UGe2
We report the temperature () dependence of ferromagnetic Bragg peak
intensities and dc magnetization of the superconducting ferromagnet UGe2 under
pressure (). We have found that the low- behavior of the uniform
magnetization can be explained by a conventional Stoner model. A functional
analysis of the data produces the following results: The ferromagnetic state
below a critical pressure can be understood as the perfectly polarized state,
in which heavy quasiparticles occupy only majority spin bands. A Stoner gap
decreases monotonically with increasing pressure and increases
linearly with magnetic field. We show that the present analysis based on the
Stoner model is justified by a consistency check, i.e., comparison of density
of states at the Fermi energy deduced from the analysis with observed
electronic specific heat coeffieients. We also argue the influence of the
ferromagnetism on the superconductivity.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures. to be published in Phys. Rev.
Relationship between propagation direction of gravity waves in OH and OI airglow images and VHF radar echo occurrence during the SEEK-2 campaign
We report simultaneous observations of atmospheric gravity waves (AGW) in OI (557.7nm) and OH airglow images and VHF radar backscatter from field-aligned irregularities (FAI) in the <i>E</i>-region during the SEEK-2 (Sporadic-<i>E</i> Experiment over Kyushu 2) campaign period from 29 July to 9 August 2002. An all-sky imager was operated at Nishino-Omote (30.5 N, 130.1 E), Japan. On 14 nights, 17 AGW events were detected in OI and OH airglow images. AGW propagated mostly toward the northeast or southeast. From comparison with the <i>E</i>-region FAI occurrence, which is detected by a nearby VHF radar (31.57MHz), we found that AGW tended to propagate southeastward during FAI events. This result suggests that the interaction between AGW and <i>E</i>-region plasma plays an important role in generating FAI. Furthermore, polarization electric fields generated directly by AGW may contribute to the FAI generation.<br><br> <b>Keywords.</b> Atmospheric composition and structure (Airglow and aurora), Ionosphere (Ionospheric irregularities, Mid-latitude ionosphere
