Abstract -- The strengths of magnetic fields in interstellar gas clouds are obtained through observations of the circular polarization of spectral line radiation. ... To infer information about these irregularities from the observational data, we develop statistical relationships between the rms values of the irregular component of the magnetic field and spatial variations in the circular polarization of the spectral line radiation. ...

Help on Resolving Technical Problems This document outlines procedures for resolving technical problems due to conflicts, installation or configuration of MGA products. ... To help isolate the problem try the following steps: 1) Try a clean boot of your system to see if anything in AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files is causing the problem. ... Software Problems For problems with software applications or drivers, try reconfiguring the graphics adapter to run VGA. ... MGA products are memory-mapped. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...
