The Nature of Galactic Bulges from SAURON Absorption Line Strength Maps
We discuss SAURON absorption line strength maps of a sample of 24 early-type spirals, mostly Sa. From the Lick indices H$eta$, Mg b and Fe 5015 we derive SSP...
The Nature of Kink MHD Waves in Magnetic Flux Tubes
We examine the nature of MHD kink waves. This is done by determining the frequency, the damping rate and the eigenfunctions of MHD kink waves for three widely...
