... For us to see them from such great distances, quasars must be producing enormous energy -- they are about 1000 times brighter than an average galaxy! ... One of their choices for the energy source of quasars was a black hole. ... On the one hand, it may seem difficult to think that mere friction between bits of matter could account for the energy of a quasar, but, on the other hand, gravity is unimaginably strong near a black hole. ... How does matter actually rush towards the black hole? ...

... A detector map is used to provide a grid of positions over which to calculate and flux weight the ARF. The default detector map is 'flat' which has a weighting of 1.0 for each detector map pixel and is rectangular having sides which just encompass the region specified in the DSS. Only detector map pixels falling within the source region are included in the ARF calculation, e.g. for a circular source box, the pixels in the corners of the detector map will be ignored. ... flat : . ...

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. ...

SWIRL DISTRIBUTION ON THE LUNAR SURFACE: LOCATIONS ANTIPODAL TO THE YOUNG BASINS? ... There are two main classes of hypothesises of the swirl origin: formation of the swirls in the regions antipodal to large impact basins (1), and formation of the swirls in result of cometary impacts (2). ... The Orientale basin is youngest. ... Fig. ... On the other hand, there are two cases of absence of correlation between swirl areas and regions antipodal to impact basins (for small swirl formations). ...

... arXiv.org . ... The Gaia-ESO Survey: Extracting diffuse interstellar bands from cool star spectra, DIB-based interstellar medium line-of-sight structures at the kpc scale . ... We study how diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) measured toward distance-distributed target stars can be used to locate dense interstellar (IS) clouds in the Galaxy and probe a line-of-sight (LOS) kinematical structure, a potential useful tool when gaseous absorption lines are saturated or not available in the spectral range. ...

STAR FORMATION EFFICIENCY AND GRAVITATIONAL STABILITY OF GASEOUS DISKS IN GALAXIES In summary, gravitational instability is the essential factor of promoting SF in spiral galaxies. ... Becoming overstable, gas layer slows down its SFE, especially for the regions where the volume gas density is low, however the formation of stars still continues at the rate which is much lower now than in the past. ...

The divisity of galaxies. The galaxies are the giant (to hundred of billions of stars) star systems, where the stars are connected by gravitation laws with each other. ... Ther galaxy NGC 3031 . ... Each spiral galaxy has a core a flat disk where the spiral brancher locate. The stars and interstellar substance of spiral galaxies rotate around the core. ... In normal galaxies, such as our Galaxy, the great brightness of the core is accounted for the high concentration of stars. ...

... The project assumes creation of an international space observatory - the interferometer "Earth - Space - Space" in order to perform of astronomical investigations in millimeter, submillimeter and infrared regions with extremely high sensitivity (to a few nanoJanskies units of flux density in continuum spectrum) and extremely high angular resolution (to a parts of microsecond of arc or, possibly, nanosecond). ... radio-interferometric channels of the system "Space - Space", region 0.2 - 3 mm; . ...
