We detect characteristic properties of Fourier and wavelet spectra evaluated for the solar active region area and radial magnetic flux time series. There are long-period oscillations, similarly to the characteristic lifetimes of super-granulation, determined from the datasets of the AR total area and radial magnetic flux, respectively. According to our results the fluctuation spectra of the AR areas and radial magnetic fluxes somewhat differ from each other both in terms of values of the spectral power-law exponents, as well as their variability ranges in different consider cases. The characteristic properties of the area and radial magnetic flux fluctuation spectra for the Ars show noticeable discrepancies between each other. It can also be concluded that behind the formation of AR area and radial flux vibration spectra might be different physical mechanisms in action.","PeriodicalId":412578,"journal":{"name":"Communications of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134604090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discovers nearly 2000 objects annually from all over the sky, down to about 20 mag, covering all possible classes of transients from supernovae and cataclismic variables to rare phenomena like microlensing events or pair-instability supernovae. The long time baseline of Gaia data allows for more robust detections of photometric anomalies. The gravitational microlensing method is especially sensitive to compact-object lenses in the Milky Way, including white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes. The team, involved in the photometric follow-up observations of Gaia microlensing events, is collaborating with the International Working Group of Gaia Science Alerts through the BHTOM platform since 2020. Currently, we mainly use the 36-cm SCT-14 telescope of the Georgian National Astrophysical Observatory (Abastumani, Georgia) which is equipped with large format CCD and UBVRI filter set. At present we have processed and submitted for combined light curves observational data of 16 moderately bright Gaia alerts. Some of them clearly show the microlensing event type of light curves, though they need more detailed investigation.

According to the Hittite sources,\u0000iron was produced by the masters of the Hatti kingdom controlled by Hittities, located, by the way, next\u0000to the kingdom of Hayasa.

Astrophysics is interested in this subject because we can obtain the mass of each component. By combining a visual solution with a complimentary one, such as the spectroscopic orbit or Edward method, we can determine the individual masses, semimajor axes, magnitudes, spectral types, radii, and temperatures. These provide the most probable physical parameters for some single-lined spectroscopic binaries. Then We can use these parameters to calculate theoretical the stability and habitability of the system. Additionally, we assume the composite spectrum, the apparent global magnitude, and the parallax (generally the Hipparcos, and recently the Gaia ). The next step is to obtain the spectrum for each components. The Edwards method will be used in this case. As soon as we have two spectra foe two single-lined spectroscopic binaries (HIP 754 and HIP 3841), we can determine each mass based on the magnitude difference, ∆m.
