... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

The success of PICARD launch re enforces our high level of appreciation of the quality of the DNEPR launcher and of the professionalism and efficiency of ISC Kosmotras. ... The distinguishing feature of the THEOS launch by a converted SS-18 ICBM (Dnepr LV) is that it was the first ISC Kosmotras mission from the Yasny launch site that headed southward to its Sun-synchronous target orbit. ...

... Configuration The dictionary accepts one obligatory parameter - RULES, which has to be set to the file describing parsing rules and output recipes. ... Each non-empty line is either a comment (when started with '#' symbol), or a conversion rule, and in the latter case has to contain whitespace-separated pattern and output recipe. Currently, pattern has to match the _integer_ (one, two or more) number of input tokens; they will be replaced with a single one. ...

A full explanation of the motion of trapped particles would be too abstract and mathematical for this level, but some basic ideas may be described on an intuitive level. The magnetic force on a moving particle is always perpendicular to the motion, as well as to the magnetic field lines. That is why the basic pattern is motion in a circle, around a magnetic field line. ... The best-known periodic motion is the back-and-forth swing of a pendulum, say of a weight suspended by a string (drawing). ...
