Schumann Resonances (SR) are the electromagnetic (EM) phenomena which occur in the cavity formed by the conducting Earth and the ionosphere, with peak mode frequencies close to 8, 14, 20, 26, 32 Hz, etc. [Price, C., Melnikov, A., 2004. Diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual variations in the Schumann resonance parameters. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics 66, 1179-1185]. The spectral characteristics of the SR modes are defined by their resonant mode amplitudes, center frequencies and half-widths [Price, C., Melnikov, A., 2004. Diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual variations in the Schumann resonance parameters. Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics 66, 1179-1185]. The objective of this work is two fold: (i) to investigate the characteristics of SR parameters obtained at Sarkoy in Turkey and (ii) to model the dynamical characteristics of the SR processes by forecasting the first SR mode power values using a neural network (NN) model. The NN model is revised version of the METUNN [Tulunay, Y., Tulunay, E., Senalp, E.T., 2004a. The neural network technique-1: a general exposition. Advances in Space Research 33, 983-987].

A Suzaku X-ray study of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant Kes 69 and searching for its gamma-ray counterpart Sezer, A.; Ergin, Tülün; Yamazaki, R.; Ohira, Y.; Cesur, N. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-11-01) Kes 69 is a mixed-morphology (MM) supernova remnant (SNR) that is known to be interacting with molecular clouds based on 1720 MHz hydroxyl (OH) maser emission observations in the northeastern and southeastern regions. We present an investigation of Kes 69 using similar to 67 ks Suzaku observation. The X-ray spectrum of the whole SNR is well fitted by a non-equilibrium ionization model with an electron temperature of kT(e) similar to 2.5 keV, ionization time-scale of tau similar to 4.1 x 10(10) cm(-3) s and ...
Short term variations of total electron content (TEC) fitting to a regional GPS network over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Alothman, A. O.; Alsubaie, M. A.; Ayhan, M. E. (Elsevier BV, 2011-09-01) The ionosphere is a dispersive medium for radio waves with the refractive index which is a function of frequency and total electron content (TEC). TEC has a strong diurnal variation in addition to monthly, seasonal and solar cycle variations and small and large scale irregularities. Dual frequency GPS observations can be utilized to obtain TEC and investigate its spatial and temporal variations. We here studied short term TEC variations over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A regional GPS network is forme...
Recent timing studies on RXTE observations of 4U 1538-52 Baykal, Altan; Beklen, E. (EDP Sciences, 2006-07-01) The high mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1538-52 was observed between July 31 and August 7, 2003. Using these observations, we determined new orbital epochs for both circular and elliptical orbit models. The orbital epochs for both orbit solutions agreed with each other and yielded an orbital period derivative. P/P = (0.4 +/- 1.8) x 10(-6) yr(-1). This value is consistent with the earlier measurement P/P = (2.9 +/- 2.1) x 10(-6) yr(-1) at the 1 sigma level and gives only an upper limit to the orbital period dec...
A Study on W Ursae Majoris-Type Systems Recognised by the ROTSE-IIId Experiment Coker, D.; ÖZDEMİR, SACİT; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; AKSAKER, NAZIM; Gucsav, B. B. (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013-01-24) We present a study on characterising the light curves of W UMa-type systems gathered from the archive containing 5 years of data observed with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment Telescope (ROTSE-IIId) located in Turkey. A sample of 45 W UMa-type systems was studied on the basis of Fourier decomposition of light curves and some basic geometrical parameters, namely degree of contact (f), mass ratio (q), and orbital inclination (i), as approximated values for these systems were determined. Moreove...
Investigations of pulsational properties and evolution of propagation diagram in some delta Scuti star models Kiziloglu, N; Kirbiyik, H; Civelek, R (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2003-07-01) An investigation on the subject of evolution of propagation diagrams and obtaining the theoretical frequency spectrum of some delta Scuti star models with masses around 2 M-circle dot has been presented. The variations of some eigenfunctions throughout the star, the variation of omega(2) with logT(e) and the distribution of nodes of eigenfunctions of some modes along with the evolution of the star have been plotted and examined. For the models at the ZAMS phase, pure acoustic modes in the outer stellar laye...
