. The dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10, seen in visible light by the Hubble Space Telescope. The central light-pink region shows an area of radio emission seen with the Very Large Array. This area indicates the presence of a supermassive black hole drawing in material from its surroundings. This also is indicated by strong X-ray emission from this region detected by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Reines, et al., David Nidever, NRAO/AUI/NSF/NASA

... We have studied scaling relations (virial mass versus CO luminosity, luminosity versus size, linewidth versus size) for molecular clouds in the 30 Dor and N 159 regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud. ... The study of molecular clouds in the Galaxy has resulted in a number of scaling relations between global cloud properties such as mass, density, luminosity, size and velocity dispersion (e.g. Larson (1981) , Scoville & Sanders (1987) , Solomon et al. ...

... A detector map is used to provide a grid of positions over which to calculate and flux weight the ARF. The default detector map is 'flat' which has a weighting of 1.0 for each detector map pixel and is rectangular having sides which just encompass the region specified in the DSS. Only detector map pixels falling within the source region are included in the ARF calculation, e.g. for a circular source box, the pixels in the corners of the detector map will be ignored. ... flat : . ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

For particles of very large sizes, scattering can be considered as a result of interference of the rays having multiple reflections and refractions according to the laws of geometrical optics. ... The papers [ 413 , 414 ] presented a method where the scattering field was expressed via the field at the particle surface using the Huygens-Kirchhoff principle, and reflection and refraction laws were employed to find the unknown field (the approach was called physical optics approximation). ...
