Solar Corona physics and erruptive phenomenae. ... Stellar astronomy. ... The Department has organized and put into practice more then 50 expeditions for observation of Solar ecllipces, aurorae polaris, comets, meteor streams, controlled space experiments, and also for investigations of geophysical characteristics. ...

... Lessons Learned from an HST Faint Companion Search Program . ... HST . ... We have searched five nearby stars for faint companions using the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) on HST as a coronagraph. ... Although no bright companions were discovered about the other three target stars, the data do not allow us to exclude definitely the possibilities that a companion could have been behind the bar or be found outside the aperture search area, or be too faint to detect with the FOS. ...

... May 17, 1999 . How to Search for Aliens . Credit: SETI@home , UC Berkeley SETI Team . Explanation: "Mom, can I use our computer to search for aliens?" Last week, the SETI@home project released free software that enables many home computers to search for signals from intelligent extra-terrestrials . ... The resulting software can work as a screensaver and so after down load ing a chunk of data, will only search for alien signals when the computer is otherwise idle. ... About APOD > . ...

... CSIRO Arch is an open source free enterprise search engine based on Apache Nutch , a popular general purpose search engine that is capable of indexing billions of web pages using clusters of computers. Arch uses Nutch and Solr software and adds additional features to provide a powerful and efficient search engine that is optimized for use in corporate web environments. ... Excellent search quality: Arch has solved the problem of providing good search results for enterprise web sites and intranets! ...

... This talk focuses on exploring the connection between Ly absorbers and galaxies. The theorist view of gas in the low z universe is based on the filamentary structures that are evident in simulations based on the CDM paradigm. ... The observer's view of gas in the low-z universe is based on the Ly absorbers which have column densities as low as 10 cm , while galaxies are at column densities of 10 cm . ... The absorber has N cm . ... Can examine LSS defined by gas-rich galaxies around absorbers. ...

Next: Fitting of data Up: Extraction of Information Previous: Extraction of Information . For projects which perform statistical analysis on groups of objects, it is important to rely on an objective search method to extract them from the data frames. ... The simplest and fastest method is using a given level over a previously determined background value as the criterion to identify possible sources. ...

... However, while low mass stars are usually found to form in loose groups with densities of a few stars per cubic parsecs, high mass stars are known to form in dense clusters with up to 10000 stars per cubic parsec. ... We have undertaken a survey of a cospicuous number of fields around intermediate mass young stars (Herbig Ae/Be stars, HAeBe) with the aim of detect and characterize the groups of young stars that may have formed together with the HAeBe star. ... BD +404124 - A rich, compact cluster. ...

... The technology needed to implement a Distributed Astronomical Data Archive (DADA) is available today (e.g., Fullton 1993). Query interface standards are needed, however, before the DADA information will be discoverable. ... These parameters would be used to index each dataset in each catalog. ... The technology is available today to perform cross-catalog queries, to fetch the data at the click of a mouse, quickly to add new observation catalogs, and to distribute the load across multiple machines. ...
