Next: A Universal Diagram for Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Corotation Radius . The interaction of a magnetic rotator with the surrounding plasma to a large extent depends on the relation between the four characteristic radii: the stopping radius, , the gravitational capture radius,   , the light cylinder radius,   , and the corotation radius,   . ... Hence, the classification of the interaction regimes may well mean the classification of magnetic rotators. ...

Tired light models invoke a gradual energy loss by photons as they travel through the cosmos to produce the redshift-distance law. ... The tired light model can not produce a blackbody spectrum for the Cosmic Microwave Background without some incredible coincidences. ... So the CMB must have come from a far away part of the Universe, and its photons will thus lose energy by the tired light effect. ... Assume that the CMB starts out as a T = (1+z)*T_o = 2.998 K blackbody, which is the blue curve. ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

... Plate bending . ... The plug-plates of SDSS project are responsible for locating the optical-fiber plugs spatially and for defining the plug tilt with respect to the surface of best focus. ... It can be seen from the graphs that after bending the plate and adding a central suport, the curvature of the plate was quite near that of the desired Kent005 curve. ... Upon adding a central support, however, the slope of the plate decreases to a value slightly less than that of the Kent005 curve. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...
