... The first column shows the kinematical diagrams, where is the angle between the line of sight on the object and the vector of rotation about Z -axis, and V S is objects line-of-sight velocity relative to an observer at rest at the position of the Sun. The straight lines are regression fits, whose slopes yield the subsystem’s rotation rate. The second column shows the relations between metallicity and distance from the Galactic plane. ... privious figure | next figure . ...

... Oleg V. Verkhodanov . ... The last few years have changed our view on the evolution of galaxies: the most distant galaxies (i.e. systems having stellar population) have been found at redshift z=6.68 (Chen H.-W., Lanzetta, K. M., Pascarelle, S. 1999, Nature, 398 , 586) and radio galaxy at z=5.19 (van Breugel W., De Breuck C., Stanford S. A., Stern D., Rottgering H., Miley G. 1999. astro-ph/9904272 ). ... Redshifts and age of stellar systems of distant radio galaxies from multicolour photometry data. ...

... Local and Regional Coordinators, and OBSERVERS are needed for Friday night's spectacular Aldebaran Occultation and Graze Aldebaran is the brightest star, other than the Sun, that can be occulted by the Moon. ... Use your camcorder (or a borrowed camcorder) to record a strong local television station. ... Encourage other amateur astronomers, and other friends and relatives in the region of visibility to record the occultation with camcorders. ... This event is called an "occultation" by astronomers. ...

... Points in 3-dimensional space are in general position, if no four of them are in one plane. Two triangles in 3-dimensional space whose six vertices are in general position are linked if the outline of the first triangle intersects the interior of the second triangle exactly at one point. ... Then there exist two linked triangles with vertices at these points. ... Assume that the vertices of two triangles are in general position. ... And the vertices of these two triangles are in general position. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

Comment on J2246-1206 . In contrast to the jet pointing to the NE in our image, the 5 GHz VLBI image of Shen et al. (1998) shows no indication of extended emission above the 20 mJy/beam level. Hong et al. (1999) find a jet component to the SE and identify that with a "superluminal" component possibly ejected in 1992. A 15 GHz image from the USNO database, taken nearly at the same epoch as the image of Hong et al. (1999) does not show any component at this position angle. ...
