He said it was close to Polaris, the North Star, but he also said it was in the East. ... It's natural, I suppose, to think that such an important star should be bright, but really, that's a conceit, like thinking that the Earth is at the center of the Universe. If more people knew just why Polaris is the North Star, this Bad Idea would stop. ...

... Line radiative transfer in C 18 O, HCO + , and CS lines is considered in a spherically symmetric chemo-dynamical model of a starless core, evolution of which is driven by the ambipolar diffusion. Theoretical line profiles are compared to observational data on the well-known L1544 core, which is one of possible candidates for collapsing protostellar clouds. ... Comparison between modelled and observed spectra suggests that L1544 has flattened structure and is observed at some inclination. ...

... A well known problem with EOP prediction is that a prediction strategy proved to be the best for some testing period and prediction length may not remain as such for other period of time. In this paper we consider possible strategies to combine EOP predictions made using different analysis techniques to obtain a final prediction with the best accuracy corresponding to the least prediction error between input predictions. ... C2 ­ best previous prediction for given length. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...
