. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .

... The remnant of the brightest historical supernova exploded in AD1006, now provides us with the first conclusive evidence for a lineless, power-low component of X-ray emission from a shell supernova remnant, and thus represents the nonthermal X-rays from shell SNRs. This implies that electrons emitting synchrotron radiation at these X-ray energies must have energies of order 100 TeV, among the highest ever observed or directly inferred in any context, astrophysical or otherwise. ...

... The zero point was derived in the following way: ffl Matching the OM repsonse using the measurements of BPM16274 and LBB227. ffl the zeropoints in U, B, V are set in a way that the simulations with the Vega spectrum (from ESO ftp server) matches the average brightness found in the literature which is (0.025, 0.03, 0.03) mag respectively. ffl In the UV filters the ESO Vega brightness is arbitrarily set to the U value, i.e. 0.025 mag ... The analysis comprised of the following steps: 1. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy: The North Star, Polaris, is a very bright star. Good Astronomy: Polaris is a middling-bright star, easily missed. ... 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. ...

. Scientists at Brown, Carnegie Mellon, and Cambridge universities have detected gamma ray emissions from the direction of the galaxy Reticulum 2. Bright areas indicate a strong gamma ray signal coming from the direction of the galaxy, according to the researchers search algorithm.

... General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS database, Version 2012 Feb.) ... The cross-identification tables of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars (GCVS) contain all GCVS (including extragalactic variables from vol.V), NSV (New catalogue of Suspected Variable stars) and Supplement to the NSV stars as well as stars from the name-lists of variable stars nos. 67 - 80; it also makes it possible to find out identifications between the GCVS and the NSV catalogue. ... I-III) names are included. ...

New England observer Lew Gramer, fresh back from his mid-November fish observing and meteor-catching expedition in South Florida, reports that December also promises to be a great month for celestial sky-sparks!" ... Other showers adding to the mix this month include several very minor showers, such as the Chi Orionids (3 Dec), Monocerotids (9 Dec) and Sigma Hydrids (12 Dec), which usually contribute no more than 2 or 3 meteors per hour during even post-midnight observing this month. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

We have studied variability of the spectral lines of the OB star delta Ori A -the brightest component of the delta Ori triple system. ... However, some of the variable features go outside the band, presumably due to either imhomogeneities in the stellar wind from .Ori Aa1 or non-radial pulsations of the weaker components of the system, Aa 2 or Ab. ...
