Scale-heights of the Galactic disk subsytems with different ages and metallicities . V.Marsakov & Yu. ... It is based on the fact, that all stars cross the disk plane several times during their Galactic orbital period. ... We have used our representative sample of nearby disk F2-G2 stars Marsakov & Shevelev (1995) in which fundamental stellar parameters was determined on the basis of published date on uvby-photometry, proper motion and radial velocities. ...

Next: Structure of the Galaxy Up: Model of the Galaxy Previous: Model of the Galaxy . As discussed above (Section  6 ), galactic binary systems are assumed to be distributed logarithmically along their semi-major axis A (Abt and Levy, 1976[ 2 ]), . ... Figure 40: Number of binary stars per frequency decade. ... As the observed distribution of binary periods is flat (equation ( 15.3.1 )), the normalization constant is the total number of galactic binaries per frequency decade: . ...

... 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, their distribution and space velocities suggest they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II, [ Drilling 1986 ]). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

Stellar population of the interacting galaxies M51. ... Stellar photometry of about one million stars in the system of the interacting galaxies M51 has been carried out on the basis of the ACS images of the Hubble Space telescope. ... A comparison of the stellar distribution in the main galaxy NGC 5194 with the empirical model of the distribution of stars showed their similarity, in spite of interaction in the system. ...

The summary plot shows the monthly time distribution of all predicted magnetic conjugations between four spacecraft considered. ... To show the time of conjugation, in frame of the corresponding day for each SC the corresponding colour and line are used: . for the first SC the red color and the first line are used, . ... On the plot the SC names are shown by the corresponding colours. The summary plot permit to find the simultaneous magnetic conjugations of 3 and even 4 satellites. ...

Next: Power of test Up: Basic principles of Previous: Test statistics . In principle, it is possible to compute a value of the statistic for a single frequency and to test its consistency with a random signal ( ). ... The factor N means that there is an increased probability of accepting a given value of the statistic as consistent with a random signal. ... In the command individual descriptions, we often refer to probability distributions of specific statistics. ...

... Let be a random deviate which follows a Poissonian probability distribution about the expectation value . Although the Poisson distribution itself is only defined for integer , one can find the following continuous `envelope function' to the Poisson values: . ... where is the gamma function . ... The expectation value of is . ... Equation 5 is used both in the present program and in boxdetect to estimate the null-hypothesis probability distribution of the weighted sum of Poissonian images. ...
