The observed distributions of stars of different ages and metallisities in the Z coordinate relative to Sun: (a) young ( t 3 Gyr) metall-rich ( [Fe/H] -0.13 ) stars; (b) young metal-poor ( [Fe/H]<-0.13 ) stars; (c) old ( 3 Gyr) metal-rich stars, and (d) old metal-poor stars. ... next figure | previous figure . ...

The first indication that the sun might be emitting a "wind" came from comet tails , observed to point away from the Sun, whether the comet was approaching the Sun or whether it was moving away. ... Comet Halley, with plasma tail kink . ... Sunlight pressure cannot explain such behavior, but in 1943 Cuno Hoffmeister in Germany, and later Ludwig Biermann, proposed that apart from sunlight, the Sun also emitted a steady stream of particles, a "solar corpuscular radiation" which pushed the ions. ...

. The relation between ellipticity and size. Red data points are the observed data; most of them have elongated shapes, and larger galaxies tend to have larger ellipticities. Gray-colored regions represent the probability distributions calculated with the computer simulations, in which two galaxies are located at so close distance that they are blended as an elongated galaxy, as shown in the right pictures schematically.

Short-Period Comets: Origin and Terrestrial Impact Hazard . ... The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...

... The Radon transform (also known as the Hough transform) is formulated as a family of line integrals through a two-dimensional function. ... The Radon transform provides us with a simple means of computing the FF plane of the autochirplet transform, by using the Wigner distribution, and arriving at a transform space that tells us basically the same information as the chirplet FF-plane, except that we benefit from the greater resolution of the Wigner distribution. ...
