Tidal forces have periods of 8.8 and 18.6 years [67]. The variations in the tidal forces arise because the orbital planes of the Moon and the Earth are slightly inclined with respect to each other and because the Sun, Moon, and Earth form a mutually rotating gravitational system so that the magnitude of the tidal force depends on their relative positions. 

Figure 4 The annihilation of neutrino-antineutrino pairs above the remnant of a neutron star merger drives relativistic jets along the original binary rotation axis (only upper half-plane is shown). The x-axis lies in the original binary orbital plane, the dark oval around the origin is the newly formed, probably unstable, supermassive neutron star formed in the coalescence. Color-coded is the asymptotic Lorentz-factor. Details can be found in Rosswog et al. 2003.

GW Method for Extended, Periodic Systems with a Mixed Slater-Orbital/Plane-Wave Basis and Fourier Transform Techniques... 

A pitch is made for a renewed, rigorous and systematic implementation of the GW method of Hedin and Lundquist for extended, periodic systems. Building on previous accurate Hartree-Fock calculations with Slater orbital basis set expansions, in which extensive use was made of Fourier transform methods, it is advocated to use a mixed Slater-orbital/plane-wave basis. Earher studies showed the amehoration of approximate linear dependence problems, while such a basis set also holds various physical and anal3ftical advantages. The basic formahsm and its realization with Fourier transform expressions is explained. Modem needs of materials by precise design, assisted by the enormous advances in computational capabilities, should make such a program viable, attractive and necessary. 

The spectmm from an undulator is very different, and numerous peaks result from interference effects within the undulator. When the electron acceleration is confined to the orbit plane and the emission angle very low, the radiation is strongly elliptically polarised and, in the orbit plane itself, it is to within a few per cent linearly polarised. Use of a sequence of permanent magnets with magnetisation arranged in a spiral sequence enables circularly polarised radiation to be extracted from such a helical undulator and this radiation is particularly important for magnetic studies. 

The high degree of X-ray polarisation in the electron orbit plane provides means of controlling both the signal/noise ratio and the penetration of the X-rays into the specimen. Depending on whether the incidence plane is chosen vertically or horizontally, sigma or pi polarisation may be selected. The strain sensitivity and the extinction distance can thus be varied while the normal photoelectric absorption conditions remain identical. 

Figure 1 also contains a drawing of the electronic structure of plastocy-anin (Penfield et al., 1981, 1985), oriented according to the first part of Fig. 1. The d-orbital plane appears to be normal to the peptide plane that is extended by the hydrogen-bonding pair the it orbital of the thiolate would then also be affected, poising the cluster for electron transfer and, interestingly, apparently in the direction utilized by the multi-copper protein ascorbate oxidase (see Section V,A).

Inclination of the rotation axis with respect to the orbital plane (fluctuating within 22°-24.5°, with the present-day value 23.4° the average periodicity of variation constitutes 41,000 years and mainly affects high-latitude insolation).

The only quantum number that flows naturally from the Bohr approach is the principal quantum number, n the azimuthal quantum number Z (a modified k), the spin quantum number ms and the magnetic quantum number mm are all ad hoc, improvised to meet an experimental reality. Why should electrons move in elliptical orbits that depend on the principal quantum number n Why should electrons spin, with only two values for this spin Why should the orbital plane of the electron take up with respect to an external magnetic field only certain orientations, which depend on the azimuthal quantum number All four quantum numbers should follow naturally from a satisfying theory of the behaviour of electrons in atoms. 

Synchrotron radiation produced by a bending magnet is linearly polarized in the orbit plane of electrons (or positrons) and actually the term pj(e) of polarization dependence in formula (2) is equal to 3 for K edges where... 

The sizes of the cometary dust grains vary from less than a micron to probably several centimeters. Infrared observations near 10 pm show the silicate spectral features. In addition, there seems to be a black ingredient presumed to be carbon. Due to different accelerations from the solar radiation pressure, the larger particles follow the comet close in its orbit and are more concentrated to the orbital plane. They become sometimes visible in the anti-tails , narrow spikes which point towards the Sun by an effect of projection when the Earth crosses the comet s orbital plane. Non of the meteorites found so far on Earth seem to be of cometary origin. However, very fluffy micron sized interplanetary dust grains (Brownlee particles) which have been collected by high flying aircraft are possibly cometary debris. 

E is the energy, e the charge and m the mass of the electron, c is the light velocity. Ki/3 ( ) and K-2/3 are the modified Bessel functions of II. kind. In Eq. (2-3) the expression within the first bracket corresponds to the intensity of the beam polarized parallel to the orbit plane, that within the second bracket stands for the intensity of the beam polarized perpendicular to the orbit plane.

As already stated above, the total radiation can be separated into the radiation polarized parallel to the orbital plane with the intensity I and radiation which is polarized perpendicular to the orbital plane with the intensity lx-1 decreases mono-tonically with increasing x]/ while Ix is 0 at v = 0 and has its maximum at some finite value of xj/. Therefore the curve giving the total intensity I also has a maximum at lr 0. 

Observations of the Moon from Earth, reveal different phases of the Moon with respect to the percentage of lunar surface reflecting sunlight back to Earth. As the Moon orbits Earth, it comes between Earth and the Sun once a month at the time of a new Moon, and orbits Earth in very nearly the same plane that the Earth orbits the Sun. If the Moon s orbital plane had zero tilt off the Earth s orbital plane, a total lunar eclipse would be visible every month. 

Also, not being atom centered orbitals, plane wave basis sets do not easily lead to chemical insight on the electronic structure of the system studied it is hard to describe the result of a plane wave calculation in a Linear Combination of Atomic Orbital (LCAO) framework, although it is the basis of many simplified, but qualitative, electronic structure models. We will see later that tools have been designed to construct such chemical insight when using plane wave basis sets.
