... It is 1st August, and you are hoping to observe a number of bright galaxies from a catalogue. ... You used the normal Vega magnitude scale. You now want to compare your B-K colour against the published colours of another, supposedly similar star you found in the literature. Your colour: B-K = 3.43 Literature colour: B-K = 3.41 Unfortunately, when you read the small-print in the literature paper, you found that the published colour used AB-magnitudes, not Vega magnitudes. ...

The Solar spots - are the dark formations on the Sun's disk. ... The greatest observed spot is 100 thousand kilomiters. The spots are the places of the magnetic fields' getting out to the solar atmosphere. ... That's why they look so dark . ... The Solar convection zone is the layer with the thickness of 150 - 200 thousand kilomiters, situated under the photosphere; the substance of this layer being in convectional movement transformes the energy from inside the Sun's to its surface. ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...
