... The metallicity distribution of disk F stars in different age ranges: the left column for the sample of stars within 80 pc around the Sun; the right column for the restored complete sample at the solar galactocentric distance with allowance made for the radial metallicity gradient. The numbers indicate the age ranges expressed in billions of years. ... next figure . ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... The Starlink Software is a collection of astronomical packages and utilities comprising over 120 separate components. When built, the system needs between 500 and 650 MB disk space (without source) making it ideal for distribution on CD-ROM. Each component has been individually packaged into an easy-to-install bundle for users to obtain over the Internet via a ``point and click'' WWW interface from the Starlink Software Store. ...

... The distribution of redshifts among the DXRBS FSRQs identified so far (Figure 3) is quite similar to that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. ... A more thorough comparison will have to await completion of our survey and the convolution of the redshift distribution with the WGACAT sky coverage. As has already been mentioned by Hook et al. (1996), selecting flat-spectrum sources is an efficient way of finding high-redshift, radio-loud quasars. ...

DAILY REPORT #1093 PERIOD COVERED: 0700 EST Daily Status Report as of 070/1200Z. 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed Two Sets of WF/ PC-2 5090 ( Large Area /Multicolor Survey: Cycle 4) The WF/ PC-2 was used to make deep exposure images of fields #1416 and #1417 as part of a large area high galactic latitude multicolor sky survey to learn more about the distribution of galaxies, their morphology, distribution ... A total of eight images were received and displayed. ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. However, they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II). ... In either case, the populations are sufficiently old that RCB stars must have relatively low masses ( ). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

EVIDENCE FOR A DEFICIT OF PULSARS IN THE INNER GALAXY . ... Abstract We investigate the Galactic radial distribution of pulsars in the light of recently completed high frequency surveys. We demonstrate that, however sensitive, low frequency surveys are incapable of discriminating between different distributions of pulsars within 3 kpc of the Galactic centre due to the severe interstellar scattering at low frequencies. ...

Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

... The sky distribution of the BCGs from the HSS sample is shown in Fig. 6 together with BCGs from the SBS and Case surveys (Izotov et al. [ 1993b ]; Pustilnik et al. ... First, we compare the apparent magnitude distributions of the three samples. ... The similar behaviour of the faint end of the apparent magnitude distributions infers that the Northern BCG sample may have a similar completeness down to this limiting magnitude. ...
