... A document window is shown, with 8 lines (numbered 1 to 8), each 24px high. The text of the "outer" box (at the end of line 1, halfway into line 2, and halfway into line 3) is shifted upward 12px. The text of the "inner" box, thought shifted upward as well, has been relatively positioned so that it lies in its normal flow position at the end of line 2. ... The lines, as they appear in the image, contain: Start 1 Beginning of body contents. 2 of outer contents. Inner contents. ...

... We use the first XMM serendipitous source catalogue (1XMM) to compile a sample of normal X-ray galaxies . ... We combine our emission line sample with earlier works forming the most comprehensive X-ray selected galaxy sample for the study of the X-ray luminosity to the H? luminosity - a well-calibrated star-formation indicator - relation. ... We find that the X-ray luminosity strongly correlates with the H? luminosity, suggesting that the X-rays efficiently trace the star-formation. | ...

... A frequently used procedure, alternative to the correction for the chromatic response, is to normalise the continuum to unity by dividing the observed spectrum by a smooth approximation of its continuum. This approximation can be obtained either interactively with the graphic cursor, or from a table (command NORMALIZE/SPECTRUM ) or by dividing the raw data by itself after filtering or smoothing. Median filtering and running average algorithms are well suited for this purpose (command FILTER ). ...

ASTRONOMY DO LIRGs FOLLOW THE TULLY-FISHER RELATION? Veronica M. Torres, Adriana J. ColСn; Colegio San Felipe, Arecibo, Puerto Rico Research Mentor: Dr. Tapasi Ghosh, Arecibo Observatory, Arecibo, Puerto Rico The purpose of this research was to study the LIRGs (Luminous Infrared Galaxies) and see if they follow the Tully-Fisher relation. ... The Tully-Fisher relation states that the bigger the galaxy is, the faster it rotates. ... Also, the bigger the galaxy, the more is its luminosity. ...
