... Around the center of the red galaxy image in the above photograph lie four blue "smudges." ... Shapley 1: An Annular Planetary Nebula . ... At that time, the center condenses into a white dwarf while the outer atmospheric layers are expelled into space and appear as a planetary nebula. ... After a Sun-like star can no longer support fusion in its core, the center condenses into a white dwarf while the outer atmospheric layers are expelled into space and appear as a planetary nebula. ...

... The space and temporary structure functions of pathlength through the troposphere constructed on the base of turbulence theory are considered. These structure functions include two main domains: the power law of 5/3 (three-dimension turbulence, small scales) and the power law of 2/3 (two-dimension turbulence, large scales). ... There were found the distribution functions of the power law index, the structure coefficient, the velccity of irregularity transfer-ence and others. ...

Report “Laboratory zero-baseline interferometer tests” (ZBT) was prepared and issued in ASC (35 pages including 17 figures and diagrams in Russian language). ... The Ground-Space radio interferometer (OVLBI) Radioastron includes several space and ground-based segments which are designed and manufactured by different countries and organizations. ... ZBI tests (for OVLBI) were implemented in Russia firstly. The tests were implemented by joint team of ASC, JPL and NRAO in 1999. ...

RadioAstronomy department of SAI was found in 1953 by prof I.S. Shklovsky. The basic direction of our works is development of new methods and devices for astronomical observations in different spectral regions, making observations and its interpretations. Department includes: laboratory RATAN-600, Infrared Group and several another scientific workgroups, that leads any big different projects. ... Go back to RadioAstronomy Dept ] . Andrew A.

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

... Submitted by William Lee on 05/20/2007 15:10:19 . Side-by-side . Both scopes mounted on a Losmandy dual side-by-side (DSBS) plate. If you do this, be aware that balance is difficult if the two scopes are vastly different in weight (as in this case). I never considered this, but now I balance each scope individually on the DSBS and then the whole DSBS. I can demonstrate this, if anyone is interested. ...

Microsymposium 34, MS058, 2001 ANOMALIES OF THE MOON'S THERMAL EMISSION IN THE IR SPECTRAL RANGE (10.5 - 12.5 micron). ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, 119899, Russia, pugach@sai.msu.ru Summary: New satellite measurements of the lunar-surface radiation temperature were used to construct the spatial angular function of thermal radiation of the Moon in the infrared (10.5-12.5 micron) spectral range. ... These thermal anomalies are observed only in the limited range of phase angles. ...
