Abstract
Abstract We study the propagation of electromagnetic (EM) waves in the solar system and develop a Mie theory that accounts for the refractive properties of the free electron plasma in the extended solar corona. We use a generic model for the electron number density distribution and apply the eikonal approximation to find a solution in terms of Debye potentials, which is then used to determine the EM field both within the inner solar system and at large heliocentric distances. As expected, the solution for the EM wave propagating through the solar system is characterized by a plasma-induced phase shift and related change in the light ray’s direction of propagation. Our approach quantitatively accounts for these effects, providing a wave-optical treatment for diffraction in the solar plasma. As such, it may be used in practical applications involving big apertures, large interferometric baselines or otherwise widely distributed high-precision astronomical instruments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
