... BI Lyn has been erroneously classified as an evolved binary system containing either a hot subdwarf or white dwarf and a thick accretion disk. New intermediate dispersion spectra are presented which demonstrate clearly that the hot component is a luminous low-mass helium star and the cool companion is a rapidly rotating G-type giant. ...

... 5 National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. In this paper we present new radio and near-infrared observations of a bright Halpha knot located south-east of the Cepheus OB3 association, near the ionization front that divides the S155 diffuse HII region from the Cepheus B molecular cloud. ... The larger of the small--diameter components is a blister-type compact HII region, still partly bounded by high density molecular gas. ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...

Classroom Activity: Making a Rainbow . ... When white light from the Sun or a light bulb passes through a prism, the light splits into its component wavelengths. ... Red, blue, green colored filters - if possible, cut 1x4-inch pieces of the filters for each student . ... Many students have the misconception that filters somehow dye the light a certain color. ... Younger students can draw the rainbow and make up a mnemonic for remembering the order of the colors (such as, ROY G. BIV). ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the linear polarization of starlight due to extinction by aligned dust grains when the starlight traverses a medium with irregular magnetic fields. This medium is intended to represent the optically thick components of interstellar clouds which are observed to make little, if any, contribution to the polarization of starlight. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

In one end we embed a metal coil of wire (like that of a flashlight bulb) in the other a metal plate, as drawn. ... As the wire begins to glow, a current begins to flow, because now negatively charged particles are emitted from the hot wire, are attracted to the positive charge on the plate and by doing so, complete the electrical circuit...
