    Description: Magnetic field data obtained by the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft in the heliosphere from 1972-1982 and earth orbiting satellite data are examined in terms of radial and latitudinal gradients in the field components and magnitude. The data reveal that higher than expected gradients are observed in the magnetic field and time variations affect the field throughout the low-latitude heliosphere. It is determined that the high radial gradient is caused by meridional flux transport with low-latitude field lines moving to higher heliographic latitudes. High pressure near the solar equator and pressure due to heating in compressive solar wind interaction regions and the large field magnitudes that occur in these regions are investigated as mechanisms that produce the meridional flux. A solar cycle variation in the level of flux transport is analyzed.

    Description: Observations of the azimuthal component of the IMF are evaluated through the use of an MHD model which shows the effect of magnetic flux tubes opening in the outer solar system. It is demonstrated that the inferred meridional transport of magnetic flux is consistent with predictions by the MHD model. The computed azimuthal and radial magnetic flux deficits are almost identical to the observations. It is suggested that the simplest interpretation of the observations is that meridional flows are created by a direct body force on the plasma. This is consistent with the analytic model of Nerney and Suess (1975), in which such flux deficits in the IMF arise naturally from the meridional gradient in the spiralling field.

    Description: FORTRAN programs RANDOM3 and RANDOM4 are documented in the form of a user's manual. Both programs are based on fatigue strength reduction, using a probabilistic constitutive model. The programs predict the random lifetime of an engine component to reach a given fatigue strength. The theoretical backgrounds, input data instructions, and sample problems illustrating the use of the programs are included.

    Description: The magnetic field data from the Pioneer 10 and 11 spacecraft show that the field directions between 1 and 8.5 AU are in accordance with the Parker spiral directions within quiet and interaction regions. The included angle between the inward and outward sectored field directions is near 180 deg; the field direction manifests greater variability in quiet regions than in interaction zones. The fractional polarities below 10 deg heliographic latitude are dominated by temporal variations; however, dual-spacecraft investigations permitted a significant latitudinal gradient to be extracted. The sector structure extended occasionally to 16 deg heliographic latitude during the period of average current sheet inclination in 1976; it is proposed that the fast streams associated with interaction regions may move the current sheet to higher latitudes when the source of the fast plasma is in the southern solar hemisphere.

    Description: The FORTRAN programs RANDOM3 and RANDOM4 are documented. They are based on fatigue strength reduction, using a probabilistic constitutive model. They predict the random lifetime of an engine component to reach a given fatigue strength. Included in this user manual are details regarding the theoretical backgrounds of RANDOM3 and RANDOM4. Appendix A gives information on the physical quantities, their symbols, FORTRAN names, and both SI and U.S. Customary units. Appendix B and C include photocopies of the actual computer printout corresponding to the sample problems. Appendices D and E detail the IMSL, Version 10(1), subroutines and functions called by RANDOM3 and RANDOM4 and SAS/GRAPH(2) programs that can be used to plot both the probability density functions (p.d.f.) and the cumulative distribution functions (c.d.f.).

    Description: Low-dispersion UV spectra taken by the IUE satellite of an S star HD 35155 are presented. It is shown that the spectra contain strong emission lines of multiply ionizes species and an excess continuous emission shortward of 2000 A. Because neither the photospheres nor chromospheres of S stars are expected to produce multiply ionized ions, the emission lines and the excess short-wave emission seen in the HD 35155 spectra are interpreted as an evidence of the presence of a hot nearby compact companion. Some inferences regarding the compact companion and the possible location of the source of the emission lines of multiply ionized ions are discussed.

    Description: Model calculation of inhomogenuous magnetized neutron star atmospheres are used to analyze the phase-dependent spectra of 4U 1538-52 and Vela X-1 taking into account general relativistic effects. A chi (exp 2) fitting procedure is used on the Ginga data for these objects to determine the geometry and the magnetic structure of the polar caps, as well as their size and location on the surface of the stars. Other parameters determined by the fit are the masses and radii of neutron stars, the accretion rates, and the rotation and magnetic inclination angles including an azimuthal offset to reproduce the asymmetry of the pulse shapes. We find that general relativistic effects play a significant role in determining the derived cap sizes, the fluxes, and the observational appearance of the pulses. There is evidence that the polar caps are unequal and nonantipodal, suggesting either an off-center or bent magnetic axis, or a strong nondipole component. The magnetic field structure is approximated by a two-component model. The rotation axes are inferred to be moderately close to the mean magnetic axes and seen at large inclinations with respect to the line of sight.
