... News . ... galaxies . ... Globular cluster NGC 2808, elliptical galaxy NGC 2986, and the Sextans Dwarf . ... Cosmic giants shed new light on dark matter . ... It follows from this principle that the dark matter in cosmic giants like galaxy clusters alters the apparent shape and position of distant galaxies. ... It allows us to measure very precisely how the dark matter in galaxy clusters distorts light from distant galaxies and gauge tiny changes in the appearance of a huge number of faint galaxies....

... Dnepr Cluster Mission 2013 19 June 2014. ... The SC actual injection accuracy was assessed by comparison of the nominal design orbit, with the account for disturbances at separation, and the actual orbit determined on the basis of: . ... With reference to the above data, one can see that deviations of the THEOS osculation orbit parameters at the time of SC separation during Dnepr launch on October 1, 2008 did not exceed the prediction the THEOS SC was launched with high accuracy. ...

The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO clustering evolution in the non-linear and linear regimes and hence obtain new limits on the value of and the bias parameter, (3) to apply a powerful geometric method to measure . ...
