... Spectra obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS are used along with archival data from Spitzer and several ground-based telescopes to infer a strength of PAH emission, age, properties of the UV radiation field, and metallicity of studied HII complexes. Physical properties (age, radiation field parameters, metallicity) are related to the F 8 /F 24 ratio used as a proxy for the PAH abundance in order to reveal factors that may influence the PAH evolution in HII complexes. ...

STAR Design 2005 by Brad Thomas Architecture students often dream about designing grand skyscrapers or palatial homes on Earth. Recently, however, a group of students had the opportunity to use their rulers and compasses to design an out-of-this-world home for astronauts. even architecture majors and a physics major from Sweden's Lund Institute of Technology participated in the NASA educational outreach program called STAR Design 2005. ... Future spaceflight will also reap the rewards. ...
