... I was in the process of writing on ?model uncertainty? to understand why the same term is used differently in astronomy and in statistics and planned to include some papers to show how statisticians handle uncertainty. ... Draper used the O-ring data set, one of the most frequently cited data sets in statistics textbooks. ... One of my favorite statisticians is John Tukey , of Fast Fourier Transform, higher criticisms, and exploratory data analysis which are all well known to astronomers. ...

... The effect is strongest in the most evolved, high-latitude supergiant V5112 Sgr=IRAS19500-1709, which has an extended structured envelope (Figs.1 and 2). In the optical spectrum of this object, the BaII ion lines are split into three components (Figs.3 and 4). ... Thus, we discovered for the first time the enrichment of the stellar envelope with heavy metals produced at the AGB stage. ... Detection of heavy-metal lines in the spectrum of the circumstellar envelope of a post-AGB star. ...

Next: New Capabilities in the Astrophysics Multispectral Archive Search Engine . ... The Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre have started a project aimed at augmenting the way an astronomer can query the Hubble Space Telescope science archive. Today the HST archive contains more than 70,000 WFPC2 exposures. ... This approach is valid if the archive was to serve only the primary targets; it is certainly not prone to be a discovery tool. ...

... About meteorites . ... Meteoritic data . Impact Crater Smerdyachee . ... Based on Smerdyachee's depth, near circularity, and its mounded wall, and analysis by N.A. Fillin of nearby Roshal, Russia, the Estonian scientists Yu.V. Krestlane and K.H. Mella proposed in 1987 that Smerdyachee Lake is a meteorite crater. ... In 2002, the Laboratory of Meteoritics of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences explored this mysterious lake. ...

What follows is a brief list of benchmarks and discoveries that shaped our ideas on atoms and nuclei. ... Discovery of electrons . ... Comparing this to Faraday's results, one could get " Avogadro's number ", the number of (say) hydrogen atoms in one gram of hydrogen--an enormously large number. ... Similarly, energized atoms are only allowed to exist in one of a number of energy levels. ... By the way, Avogadro's number is 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (6.02 10 23 ) molecules in 1 gr hydrogen. ...

... On January 1, 1925, thirty-five-year-old Edwin Hubble announced findings that ultimately established that our universe was a thousand trillion times larger than previously believed, filled with myriad galaxies like our own. ... Six years later, continuing research by Hubble and others forced Albert Einstein to renounce his own cosmic model and finally accept the astonishing fact that the universe was not immobile but instead expanding. ...

... The main topics of the Conference were: 1. ... Asteroid-comet hazard (origin and dynamic evolution of objects approaching the Earth, observations, physical properties, cataloguing, data bases, estimation of collision probability with the Earth and other bodies). ... 5) In this connection the problem of concluding the international political agreement within the frames of UN about common active counteractions to the bodies on the orbits leading to collisions with the Earth is urgent. ...

... ASTEROID’S MOONS : DISCOVERY BY RADAR . ... Moons of known asteroids have a low position ambiguity, which makes their discovery with powerful ground-based radar much easier than the discovery of new asteroids or other objects of Solar System. ... The other technique is a direct detection of radar echo from an asteroid moon. ... However, the diameter of a ground-based fully-steerable reflector is limited by 120-150 m to make it possible to perform two different functions: focusing and tracking (fig. ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...
