STScI's new Java interface to the archive, StarView II, will make use of the ST-ECF stand-alone FITS image viewer JIPA. We discuss how state-of-the-art software techniques like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), multithreading, and the Reflection API influence the design of a common interface between StarView II and JIPA. ...

Next: Introduction Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Old neutron star distribution . The population of old galactic neutron stars is computed for model galactic potential and initial neutron star velocity distribution following from binary system evolution scenario. ... Statistical tests appropriate to the problem of gamma-ray burst space distributions are carried out for the obtained distribution. Key words: pulsars - old neutron stars - space distribution - gamma-ray bursts . ...

... The test statistic used for detection is a special case of a function of random variables. ... Important examples of the test statistics are signal variances . ... Usually, the test statistics S in TSA measure a ratio of two variances. ... Since models depend on frequency (or time lag l ), so do the variances and and test statistics S . The statistics we recommend for use in the frequency domain are the ones introduced by Scargle and the Analysis of Variance (AOV) statistics. ...

Authors: V.A. Marsakov , T.V. Borkova , . ... It is shown that general populations of globular clusters and metal-poor field stars are components at least of three subsystems occupying different volumes in the Galaxy. The thick disk and proto-disk subsystems are genetically associated with the Galaxy. ... It is argued that heavy-element enrichment and the collapse of the proto-galactic medium occurred mainly in the period between the formation of the proto-disk halo and thick disk subsystems. ...

The velocity and mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from the CNOC1 cluster redshift survey . ... The resulting sample is ideally suited for an analysis of the internal velocity and mass distribution of clusters. Previous analyses of this dataset used the Jeans equation to model the projected velocity dispersion profile. However, the results of such an analysis always yield a strong degeneracy between the mass density profile and the velocity dispersion anisotropy profile. ...

... Chapter 14. ... Data consist of numbers, of course. ... In the following sections, you will repeatedly encounter the following paradigm: § apply some formula to the data to compute a statistic § compute where the value of that statistic falls in a probability distribution that is computed on the basis of some null hypothesis § if it falls in a very unlikely spot, way out on a tail of the distribution , conclude that the null hypothesis is false for your ... 609 610 Chapter 14. ...

We present Kepler and Swift observations of StHa 169 which is currently classified as a symbiotic binary. The Kepler light curve shows quasi periodic behaviour with a mean period of 34 d and an amplitude of a few percent. Using Swift data we find a relatively strong UV source at the position of StHa 169 but no X-ray counterpart. ...

Marc White . ... Turbulent entrainment processes may play an important role in the outflows from young stellar objects at all stages of their evolution. In particular, lateral entrainment of ambient material by high-velocity, well-collimated protostellar jets may be the cause of the multiple emission-line velocity components observed in the microjet-scale outflows driven by classical T Tauri stars. ...
