    Magnetic Reconnection vs Double Layers

    Just some random comments on your first post: Naturally there is a current in the system because reconnection happens in oppositely directed magnetic fields and through Maxwell's equations it is clear that these are two fields are separated by a current sheet, just like in nature in e.g. the...

    Magnetic Reconnection vs Double Layers

    It would be nice if you could show in detail that the regions in which reconnection happens can be correctly described by an "exploding double layer". At the moment the observations by e.g. Cluster are so good and in agreement with the theoretical description of reconnection, with the inward...

    Working out the geostationary orbit

    I guess you would have to calculate the volume of the planet? I guess you would then do something with the density (for which you lack a unit)? Somehow, magically, this leads to the mass of the planet?

    What Is the Orbital Period of an Asteroid with a Temperature of 200 K?

    I do hope that the radius of the Earth is 6370 km

    Titius-Bode law, any analytical or numerical derivation?

    Actually, the paper by Lynch is very interesting, because it shows that you cannot e.g. just use "a Monte Carlo procedure" to test whether a distribution is chance or not. Even if they do not show whether TB is real or not, it does make a good wake up call for researchers to think about what...

    Titius-Bode law, any analytical or numerical derivation?

    Guess you will have to read the paper and find out. (full scanned article (GIF))

    Titius-Bode law, any analytical or numerical derivation?

    Titus-Bode type of laws have been discussed in two papers by Graner & Dubrulle in Astronomy and Astrophysics, available to anyone on ADS. At ADS you can find many papers actually on the Titius-Bode law (note the "i" in Titius!) and here is the list.
