Statistical Approach to Research on the Relationship Between Kp/Dst Geomagnetic Indices and Total GPS Position Error by Mario Bakota, Igor Jelaska, Serdjo Kos, David Brčić

“…Satellite navigation data were processed using RTKLIB software in standalone mode with standardized atmospheric and orbital corrections. The GPS was chosen over GLONASS following preliminary testing, which revealed a higher sensitivity of GPS positional accuracy to variations in geomagnetic indices such as Kp and Dst, despite generally lower total error magnitudes. …”

Magnetic Activities of Wolf 359: Starspot Distribution and Quasiperiodic Pulsation Using TESS Data by Diya Ram, Soumen Mondal, Samrat Ghosh, Rajib Kumbhakar

“…Using 2 minute short-cadence Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) data on this highly active star, we found 48, 46, and 32 flares in Sectors 45, 46, and 72, respectively. The rotation period from TESS is estimated to be 2.69 days with negligible error, which matches well with the previous literature values. …”
