... The common identifier of this star system is G89-14. Initially, there were known just two close spectroscopic components in this system, A and B, orbiting around each other with a period of about 190 days (Carney et al., ... Subsequently, at a separation of 34 arc seconds from this spectroscopic pair, Allen et al. (2000) found its companion D with common proper motion (Fig.1, right, and Fig.2). ... The uniqueness of this star is that it is the most metal-poor quadruple system known to date. ...

To locate it, look along the imaginary line between the two end stars on the leading edge of the PloughтАЩs blade (Merak and Dubhe) and Polaris (the North Star), the galaxy M82 (also known as the Cigar Galaxy) along with its companion M81, lies just off this line about a third of the way between the Plough and Polaris. €а€аAs usual, the supernova is far brighter than its home galaxy, appearing as an extra star. ...

It is possible to piece together the processes that have shaped the observed characteristics of a galaxy by studying its stars in detail. The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is an excellent candidate for this type of study because of its favourable viewing angle and ongoing star formation. I present the results of high-resolution VLT/FLAMES observations of ~80 red giant stars around star cluster NGC 1846, located in the disc of the LMC. ...

... First of all, I should say that you cannot guarantee user-mode processes to have exact control of timing because of the multi-tasking nature of Linux. ... However, for most applications using I/O ports, this does not really matter. To minimise this, you may want to nice your process to a high-priority value (see the nice(2) manual page) or use real-time scheduling (see below). ... Linux 2.x kernels have soft real time support; see the manual page for sched_setscheduler(2) for details. ...

This replacement emx.dll is intended for use with the Apache web server. It fixes two problems: 1) emx.dll contains a fixed size array that is used to keep track of dlls loaded by the process so that fork() can correctly duplicate the process. When a large number of Apache modules are loaded this array runs out of space causing the error "[error] (12)Not enough memory: fork: Unable to fork new process" in the error log. To work around this I've simply doubled the size of the array. ...

Evidently, we can distinguish two processes: distant interactions, where there is no direct contact between separate fragments, and close contact interactions, where the fragments collide with one another. ... Such a rubble pile with a dust atmosphere differs from a cometary nucleus only in the absence of a volatile gas component, which is usually considered the cause of the appearance of cometary dust. ...

... Aims: Today, large ground-based instruments, like VISIR on the VLT, providing diffraction-limited (about 0.3 arcsec) images in the mid-infrared where strong PAH features appear enable us to see the flaring structure of the disks around Herbig Ae stars. Although great progress has been made in modelling the disk with radiative transfer models able to reproduce the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Herbig Ae stars, the constraints brought by images have not been yet fully exploited. ...
