Description
Summary:The collection of articles consists of scientific papers prepared by members of the staff of the Kiev Astronomical Laboratory, on the basis of observations carried out as part of the International Geophysical Year program. The material is intended for specialists-astronomers, as well as for post- graduates and students specializing in the study of astronomy. The articles include: Photographic observations of meteors in 1958 at the Kiev Astronomical Laboratory; the physics of interaction between radio waves and meteor trains; the scattering of radiowaves from underdense meteor trains; the effect of the antenna directivity pattern on the observed distribution of meteoroids with respect to mass; the problem of classifying the spectra of polar aurorae; on the possibilities of elementary molecular and atomic ionization and dissociation processes in polar aurorae owing to hydrogen and helium ions from the sun; Corpuscular mechanisms for the excitation of ultraviolet emissions in polar aurorae; certain features of polar auroral forms with ray structure; certain problems relating to the local geographic distribution and dynamics of polar aurorae; and similarities between the Aurorae Borealis and Australis. Unedited rough draft trans. of Kiev Univ. Sbornik Rabot po Mezhdunarodonomu Geofizicheskomu Godu (USSR) n2 104p, 1963.
