... astro-ph . ... Statistical Characterization of the Chandra Source Catalog . ... The first release of the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) contains ~95,000 X-ray sources in a total area of ~0.75% of the entire sky, using data from ~3,900 separate ACIS observations of a multitude of different types of X-ray sources. ... In addition to these traditional catalog elements, for each X-ray source the CSC includes an extensive set of file-based data products that can be manipulated interactively. ...

For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...

Next: The Model Up: No Title Previous: Radiopulsars as Sources of . In this section, we study the evolution of stellar populations on a time-scale of 10 Myr for a starburst љ occurring under conditions similar to those in the Galactic Center (see Lipunov et al. (1995d)[ 126 ]). We estimate the expected number of X-ray transient љ sources (NS + MS star), super accreting BH, and BH + supergiant binaries, all as functions of time elapsed after the burst. ...

This is possible if you do it in the following way, that is if you use the new continuation sign "&" at the end of the old line, but in position 73 so that it doesn't conflict with Fortran 77, and also choose the "&" sign as the almost arbitrary character in column 6, in order to get continuation according to Fortran 77. ... Comments are an incompatibility problem between Fortran 77 and Fortran 90, but of course not between fixed and free forms of Fortran 90 since the "!" is permitted in both. ...

You can select different light sources, and combine them with texture channels to warp your image. ... Depending on how you use it, pure white is the highest point on the image, and black the lowest. ... You can adjust the brightness and spread here, or choose other types of lighting. ... Use these if your image is turning out too dark or light. ...
