Latimer [ 322 , 323 ] suggested the approximations based on a combination of the RDG and AD theories for spheroids and the Mie theory to describe scattering and extinction of light by non-spherical particles. The idea of these approximations is as follows: on the base of the RDG and AD theories to find an analogy between the formulas for the scattering characteristics for a sphere and an oriented spheroid. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters.
