It is virtually certain that Arctowski did not see those, but if they are ever observed (which I believe they will be, at least while some of us is still breathing) they will perhaps be called "Arctowskis" just because of the resemblance.<br><br>As an aside, I have an original copy of this publication in my bookshelf, thanks to Riikonen letting me know there was one available some time ago.Jarihttp://jari.pic.fi/kuvat/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046232325583098770.post-64427185352567984582009-12-06T13:24:43.000-08:002009-12-06T13:24:43.000-08:00Yeah, you are right, when those are observed, they...Yeah, you are right, when those are observed, they might stick with the name Arctowski arcs. But those arcs are just one component of the already photographed "Ounasvaara arc". So, it looks like Ounasvaara arc will disappear and become one component of the Arctowski arc.<br><br>By the way, one of our readers is looking to translate Arctowksi's description of the display. So, folks, stay tuned, I will add it to the post once I get it.marko riikonennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046232325583098770.post-90159418866240598762009-12-06T14:18:07.000-08:002009-12-06T14:18:07.000-08:00In a sense Riikonen arc or Ounasvaara Arc would be...In a sense Riikonen arc or Ounasvaara Arc would be a better name for it, since Arctowski most likely did not see those arcs. You did.

Probably would have been too faint see even if I had known what to look for.<br><br>Anyways, if you get the Arctowski component and Jukka gets another component and Jarmo again another, then we can start calling this halo the "nen arc".marko riikonennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046232325583098770.post-36543996744736276092009-12-07T08:19:59.000-08:002009-12-07T08:19:59.000-08:00Haha, the nen-brigade strikes with full force!Haha, the nen-brigade strikes with full force!Jarihttp://jari.pic.fi/kuvat/noreply@blogger.com
