Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Riometers measure the absorption of radio-noise from the stars(’cosmic-noise’) in the ionosphere. They usually operate at frequencies between 25Mhz and 50 Mhz where radio-waves are absorbed when there are significant numbers of free electrons in the height region from about 60-110 km. They make continuous observations of the noise-level and observe deceases in noise relative to the quiet-day level, when high-energy electrons and protons precipitate and cause increased ionisation. 4, record 4, English, - riometer

The inner, visible part of the halo, which has roughly the same diameter as the galactic disk, is occupied by Population II objects, including globular clusters and old, individual stars. Beyond this is a much larger region, called the dark halo or extended halo, containing large amounts of dark matter, the presence of which is revealed by its gravitational effect on the galaxy's rotation. The nature of galactic dark matter is still undetermined but the most popular theory, supported by some recent observations, is that the dark halo is home to vast numbers of small, unseen bodies known as MACHOs. 3, record 5, English, - galactic%20halo
