... Star Atlas . ... stars . ... If neutron stars don't produce energy from fusion, like normal stars, how can they shine in visible light? ... Although it is true that neutron stars have, for the most part, consumed all their internal thermonuclear fuel, they tap into other energy sources to produce light. Indeed, neutron stars are remarkably "resourceful" and employ a variety of physical mechanisms to make themselves visible.A newborn neutron star is incredibly hot ? ... Atlas of the Stars . ...

... A simple Virasoro vertex algebra is rational (and -2 semisimple as well) iff its central charge is of the form c = 1 - 6(pppp ) , where p, p are relatively prime integers, greater than 1 (which are central charges of the so called minimal models). A simple affine vertex algebra Vk (g), attached to a simple Lie algebra g is rational (and semisimple as well) iff its level k is a non-negative integer. ... We call such f an exceptional nilpotent and such k an exceptional level. ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...

... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ...
