... Early on, our interest in chirping analysis functions was motivated by a different kind of chirping phenomenon: chirping due to perspective. ... Our interest in radar, however, drew us toward processes that are more accurately analyzed by linear-FM chirplets. ... We have also constructed other chirplet transforms, such as a three-parameter Doppler chirplet representation that models a source producing a sinusoidal wave, while moving along a straight line (e.g. a train whistle). ...

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST LONG EXTRAGALACTIC DISTANCE SCALE Gaseous discs of S0 -- Sd galaxies appears to be gravitationally stable or close to stability. Dependence of the gravitational stability parameter of gaseous disc $M_g/M_c$ upon the color index $(B-V)^0_T$ which reflects a relative number of young stars, is found. Here $M_g$ is total mass of gas in a galaxy, $M_c$ - mass of gas which corresponds to marginal stability of gaseous disc at distances from center. ...

... Using the uvby -photometry and proper motion data for about 5500 F stars within 80 pc from the Sun, we have studied velocity ellipsoid parameters and obtained the following results. 1) The sizw of all wllipsoid semiaxes increase systematically for groups of stars with the decrease of both temperature (at constant metallicity) and metallicity (at constant temperature). ... As a result, each of the three parameters - temperature, metallicity and velocity dispersion - is an age indicator. ...

... A Hubble diagram for Quasars . ... The potential use of such relation as a cosmological probe is obvious: assuming no redshift evolution of the relation, the observed X-ray flux is a function of the observed UV flux, the redshift, and the parameters of the adopted cosmological model. ... In this framework, Guido Risaliti and Elisabeta Lusso (INAF-Arcetri Observatory) have recently published in the Astropysical Journal the first Hubble Diagram for quasars suitable for cosmological measurements . ...
