multipole

On the macroscopic scale, for most problems in celestial mechanics, Newtons theory of gravity, supplemented by treating relativistic effects as a small (very small) perturbation and irregularities in the mass distribution of gravitating bodies as multipole effects works extremely well.

The heliospheric current sheet results in higher order multipole components so that the actual magnetic field at the Earth due to the Sun is 100 times greater.

This can be seen everywhere from low plasma processes (where neutrals are accelerated by the rf variation of the plasma) to atmospheres (where I hear the Mars atmosphere expulsion gets a significant boost by its distorted multipole field as magnetic "pockets" are sheared off into space – Mars partial field is not protecting the atmosphere as Earth's full dipole, it is "pumping" it).

We examine previous claims for a preferred axis at $ (b, l) \approx (60, -100) $ in the cosmic radiation anisotropy, by generalizing the concept of multipole planarity to any shape preference (a concept we define mathematically).

Here is the power spectrum: amount of anisotropy as a function of angular scale (really multipole moment l), with large scales on the left and smaller scales on the right.

Here we point out that the spherical harmonic coefficients of the observed CMB anisotropies or their squared amplitudes at each multipole depend on the location of the observer, in both space and time.

In Italy, Drilling & Measurements MicroScope advanced resistivity and imaging-while-drilling and SonicScope* multipole sonic-while-drilling services were deployed for Eni to ensure data acquisition in washdown mode through tight carbonate formations in a deviated Monte Alpi Nord well.
