... region (region-7.9) [xmmsas_20070708_1801-7.1.0] . ... At times it may be desirable to filter the source list before calculating regions. An example of such a case is if the list contains many rows for the same source position (as do eg the standard XMM source-list products). There is usually not much point in constructing more than one region for the same source position, so in this case it would be desirable to filter out all the excess rows before constructing regions. ...

... Miriad has a couple of tasks available for finding positions of sources (see also cgcurs in Chapter 17 ). ...

... Solar flare activity is produced by the processes of accumulation and release of energy in an active region. ... In the framework of study of solar active regions, producing powerful flares the researchers from the RATAN-600 radio telescope have detected sources with features in the form of a sharp drop in the intensity of polarized radiation in various parts of the recorded frequency range (2-16GHz), sometimes changing the sign of polarization. ...

. Comment on J1239-1023 . No image is shown by Dallacasa et al. (1998) as they did not find the VLBI structure at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz prominent, just dominated by a compact region barely resolved in position angle about -45 . In our case the source is well resolved, with a jet pointing to the W-NW direction, in agreement with what is seen in the images at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz from the VLBA Calibrators database.

Next: The Model Up: No Title Previous: Radiopulsars as Sources of . In this section, we study the evolution of stellar populations on a time-scale of 10 Myr for a starburst љ occurring under conditions similar to those in the Galactic Center (see Lipunov et al. (1995d)[ 126 ]). We estimate the expected number of X-ray transient љ sources (NS + MS star), super accreting BH, and BH + supergiant binaries, all as functions of time elapsed after the burst. ...

Star formation is often best manifested by bright H II regions.These are regions of hydrogen which have been ionized by ultraviolet photons which are emitted from massive stars (typically stars more than 20 times the mass of the Sun). ... A narrowband filter image centered on this wavelength will then readily reveal these H II regions and hence the current sites of star formation in a galaxy, The luminous blobs that can be seen here are all H II regions . ...

For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...
