Dust in galaxies can be mapped either by the FIR/submillimeter emission, the optical or infrared reddening of starlight, or the extinction of a known background source. ... We find that distant galaxies are predominantly in low-extinction sections marked by the color maps, indicating that their number depends both on the cloud cover of Spitzer-resolved dust structures, mostly the spiral arms, and a diffuse, unresolved underlying disk. ...

We performed a study of 104 RS CVn systems in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) using the all--sky survey data obtained by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). The present sample includes several new RS CVn detections; 11 more than in the published EUVE catalogs, and 8 more than in the ROSAT Wide Field Camera catalog. ... For the RS CVn systems the losses in the EUV represent a smaller fraction of the coronal radiative losses, as compared to active late--type dwarfs. ...

For today's in class we will be working with spatial and temporal data sets which are quite noisy. Particularly, you have monthly rainfall totals for the following six locations in Oregon from the period 1950 - 1999. Eugene . Salem . Portland . Astoria . North Bend . Newport . There are many facets of what you can do with this data. Please explore the following questions with some degree of sound statistical reasoning and data presentation: .

... The actual cross-correlations were done as follows: north of WGACAT was correlated with the GB6 catalog with a correlation radius of one arc minute. ... We therefore cross-correlated WGACAT with the GB6 and PMN radio catalogs with a 1.5 arcmin radius. ... As a result of this experiment, we then added to the WGACAT/PMN candidate list the 29 unclassified sources obtained from the 1.5 arcmin correlation and having PSPC offsets arcmin, ratio between X-ray/radio offset and positional error , and . ...

Next: Deep Depletion Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: Energy resolution . Conventional CCDs are illuminated through a front-surface electrode structure which may be m thick. This severely limits the sub-keV detection efficiency. They also have a detection volume defined by the depletion layer depth of m. This should be compared with, for example, the 1/e attenuation length for 6keV photons which is m; hence CCD sensitivity falls rapidly with increasing energy. ... Deep Depletion . ...

We make a comparative study between the physical parameters obtained from the CS and NH3 spectra, and their relationship with the H2O maser emission. ... We find that both the CS and the NH3 lines are significantly wider in regions with H2O masers than in other regions. ...

Next: Methods for Structuring and Searching Very Large Catalogs . ... We have explored two automated classification methods: supervised classification using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and unsupervised classification using Self Organized Maps (SOM). These methods are used to classify IUE low-dispersion spectra of normal stars with spectral types ranging from O3 to G5. This paper describes the application of automated methods to the problem of the classification of stellar spectra. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .

... Energy . ... The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much, much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...
