You might wonder how a black hole could be found if nothing including light can escape from it. ... HDE 226868 is a massive blue supergiant star; its companion is believed to be a black hole, surrounded by an accretion disc of gases from HDE 226868 which are spiraling into the black hole. ... Three other objects -- LMC X-3 in the Large Magellanic Cloud galaxy, and A0620-00 and V404 Cygni in our galaxy -- are also believed to have black holes as one of their components. ...

... Properties of Dust Grains in Planetary Nebulae - I. The Ionized Region of NGC 6445 . ... Based on this model, we show from depletions in the gas phase elements that little grain destruction can have occurred in the ionized region of NGC 6445. ... The most likely conclusion is that grains are residing inside the ionized region of NGC 6445 and that the low temperature and flux of the grain emission are caused by the low luminosity of the central star and the low optical depth of the grains. ...

... Pulsars offer a variety of observables for study of interstellar scattering. Observations of scattering of nearby pulsars and intra-day variable quasars point to the existence of a component of the interstellar medium (ISM) which has properties quite different from the more distant, diffuse ISM. ... The time series of electric field emitted by the pulsar is convolved with an impulse-response function due to scattering, when sampled at the observer plane [1]. ... Nearby interstellar scattering. ...

... While there is practically no detector noise present at energies above , X-ray data below are considerably contaminated by noise events, which become more and more dominant towards the lowest transmitted energies (Fig. ... Investigations of 40 hours of in-orbit calibration data with the filter wheel closed, taken over a period of more than two years, showed that the noise properties vary with position and energy, but are fairly stable in time for most areas on the detector. ...
