Swirl distribution on the lunar surface: locations antipodal to the young basins? ... THERE ARE TWO MAIN CLASSES OF HYPOTHESISES OF THE SWIRL ORIGIN: FORMATION OF THE SWIRLS IN THE REGIONS ANTIPODAL TO LARGE IMPACT BASINS (1), AND FORMATION OF THE SWIRLS IN RESULT OF COMETARY IMPACTS (2). ... THEY HAVE NEARLY THE SAME AGE. [pic]FIG. ... On the other hand, there are two cases of absence of correlation between swirl areas and regions antipodal to impact basins (for small swirl formations). ...

We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. ... The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. ... In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

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. ...

... Our resulting sample of ELGs presented in Tables 2 and 3 is not artificially biased to any specific type of galaxies. ... Since we are looking for selection of a sample of Case BCGs, it is interesting to examine how the detected BCGs are connected with Case emission-line codes. ... Altogether BCGs comprise about 60 % of all Case ELGs which display emission lines in our spectra, or about 44 % of all Case galaxies with some emission-line code. ... Among those with the code ``w'' about 40 % are BCGs. ...

We present broadband photometry in the optical, near infrared and sub-millimetre, and mid-infrared spectrophotometry of a selection of carbon stars with optically thin envelopes. ... Beside the emission features at 11.3 \mu m due to silicon carbide grains in the circumstellar environment, many of our mid-infrared spectra show an emission feature at 8.6 \mu m. All the observed spectral energy distributions exhibit a very large far-infrared flux excess. ...

spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 20 September 1998, 2020 UT (RR) . Traveling Convection Vortex (TCV) is a name given to a specific type of daytime magnetic impulsive events observed by high-latitude ground-based magnetometer arrays. Since the most likely source for TCVs is the solar wind , they are considered to be important processes in transfering energy from the solar wind into the magnetosphere . ... For example, one AMPTE Lithium release in the solar wind caused a TCV event . ...
