Influence of the definition of dissipative events on their statistics

Eric Buchlin, Sebastien Galtier, Marco Velli

A convenient and widely used way to study the turbulent plasma in the solar corona is to do statistics of properties of events (or structures), associated with flares, that can be…

Beam mismatch effects in Cosmic Microwave Background polarization measurements

Cyrille Rosset, Vladimir Yurchenko, Jacques Delabrouille +4

Measurement of cosmic microwave background polarization is today a major goal of observational cosmology. The level of the signal to measure, however, makes it very sensitive to va…
