The results show that the dawn-dusk asymmetry is substantial because of the Parker spiral IMF. It is found that the dawn-dusk magnetosheath thickness asymmetry is the effect of different shock conditions. The plasma density and flux asymmetry are mainly caused by the different thickness of the dawn-dusk magnetosheath, and the magnetic recon- nection on the magnetopause has no significant effects. It is also showed that the Plasma Depletion Layer in front of the dayside magnetopause can cause duskward plasma flow, and the total plasma flux on the dusk side will be higher.展开更多

In 2007 and 2008, the Sky Quality Meter (SQM) was used in four regions in Malaysia to measure the brightness at night, pseudo dawn, true dawn, true dusk and pseudo dusk. The measurements were taken when the device was directed to the position of sunrise and sunset at the horizontal angle of the sunrise or sunset and at five degrees above the horizon during the entire monitoring period. The altitude of the sun for the true dusk was found to be -14.38°± 0.91°and for the beginning of the pseudo dusk was found to be -14.86°± 0.91°and the end of the pseudo dusk is -17.8°± 0.7°, while for the beginning of the true dawn it was found to be -14.19°± 0.52°(for high confidence -14.71°) and for the pseudo dawn was found to be -18.62°± 0.82°. The light magnitude of the full night after the pseudo dusk was found to be 20.77 ± 0.93 mag./arcsec<sup>2</sup>, while it was found to be 22.17 ± 0.1 mag./arcsec<sup>2</sup> before the pseudo dawn.展开更多
