... lcplot produces plots of time series measured either by EPIC or by the OM. These plots show both net and background count rates. lcplot can be used to display a single time series directly or the multiple time series, produced by elcbuild for EPIC and by omlcbuild for the OM, and supplied as FITS files. ... The input FITS files must contain net count rates, background count rates and the associated errors. ... Each light curve (net and background) of the input file is plotted on a separate page. ...

Numerical simulations of galaxy formation, based on the cold dark matter model, explain the observed large-scale structure and abundance of massive galaxies. ... Many more dwarf galaxies around large galaxies are predicted than observed, leading to the "missing satellites problem". Much more cosmic gas inside galaxy halos is predicted than observed, leading to the "missing baryons problem". ... All seminars: . ...

... arXiv.org . astro-ph . ... We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...

Refracting telescopes (Meade Models NG-60, NGC-60, DS-2070AT, ETX-70AT, LXD55-AR5, LX55-AR6 ) and mirror-lens telescopes ( ETX-90AT, 105AT, 125AT, LXD55-SC8, 8LX90, LX200 GPS Series ) are generally more versatile in a wide array of land and astronomical applications. ...

Clusters of galaxies are the largest gravitationally bounded structures in the Universe dominated by dark matter. We review the observational appearance and physical models of plasma structures in clusters of galaxies. ... The knowledge of the complex dynamical and feedback processes is necessary to understand the energy and matter balance as well as to constrain the role of the non-thermal components of clusters. ...

Short-Period Comets: Origin and Terrestrial Impact Hazard . ... The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...
