Comment on the International Jubilee Symposium . ... The usefulness of the Internet as a method of holding international meetings without the expense of travel is also clear, but this new medium is not yet well established in this role. ... How can we move on with international cooperation in the World Wide Web era? I would like to suggest that NASA's Planetary Data System is a good model. ... At the same time, much might be done with older images, by scanning prints to create new digital files. ...

... Figure 1 (a) shows a cross section of a photodiode. ... The usual P-layer for a silicon photodiode is formed by selective diffu- sion of boron, to a thickness of approximately 1 m or less and the neutral region at the junction between the P- and N-layers is known as the depletion layer. ... When light strikes a photodiode, the electron within the crystal structure becomes stimulated. ... current generated by the incident light (proportional to the amount of light) . ... Series resistance . ...

... The total mass of the scientific payload is about 2500 kg, of which the unfolding parabolic 10-m radio astronomy antenna's mass is about 1500 kg, and scientific package holding the receivers, power supply, synthesizers, control units, frequency standards and data transmission radio system - near 900 kg. ... The jet system is a hydrazine thrusters system: it will be used during the creation of the base system of spacecraft orientation, for unloading of the powered gyros, and for orbit corrections. ...

Estimating the NEO Population and Impact Risk: Past, Present and Future . ... Since most of the risk resides in the largest impactors, finding that fraction of the largest bodies, and that none of them has a significant chance of impacting in the next century or so, "retires" more than 90 % of the impact risk, including most of the risk of a globally catastrophic impact event. ... In the mid-size range, from ~150 m to ~1 km, the main risk is from tsunami generated by an ocean impact. ...

... As is known, the observed distribution of massive stars in the direction of the Galactic center looks very peculiar: the vast majority of all massive stars are concentrated towards the central 1 pc or so (Genzel et al. ... In order to compare the observed distribution of X-ray sources in the Galactic center with what would be expected from the population synthesis computations, we have considered two hypothetical scenarios for the location of the starburst. ...

... The dependence of velocity ellipsoid parameters for various types stars upon theirage was investigated. ... For metal-rich stars ([Fe/H] -0.1) the shape of velocity ellipsoid becomes more spherical with increasing age of the stellar group and it approaches the equilibrium shape. ... По данным uvby -фотометрии, изохронным возрастам и собственным движениям ~3500 F -звезд диска в окрестности 80 пс от Солнца исследованы зависимости параметров эллипсоидов скоростей различных звезд от возраста. ...
