"Statistical Prediction of Dst Index by Solar Wind Data and t-Distributions" by Pan Qin and Ryuei Nishii The disturbance storm time (Dst) index is a measure of the geomagnetic storm strength that can be caused by solar wind plasma ejecta and/or high-speed streams. The research aims to predict the Dst index hours ahead using statistical regression models based on solar wind measurements. It is shown that the distribution of Dst index data has heavy tails. This implies that the data cannot be well approximated with Gaussian distribution. more...

"Conformal Electromagnetic Particle in Cell: A Review" by Collin S. Meierbachtol, Andrew D. Greenwood, John P. Verboncoeur and Balasubramaniam Shanker Conformal (or body-fitted) electromagnetic particlein-cell (EM-PIC) numerical solution schemes are reviewed. Included is a chronological history of relevant particle physics algorithms often employed in these conformal simulations. Brief mathematical descriptions of particle-tracking algorithms and current weighting schemes are provided, along with a brief summary of major time-dependent electromagnetic solution methods. more...
