Next: Redshift Distribution Up: Sample Identification Previous: Previously Identified Sources . ... In Figure 3, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS FSRQs opposite that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. In Figure 4, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS BL Lacs opposite the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ... The apparent deficit of objects at the very highest luminosities is a result of the smaller area of sky covered by DXRBS compared to, e.g., the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ...

In this paper we present a catalog of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in the Andromeda (M31) galaxy extracted from the Herschel Exploitation of Local Galaxy Andromeda (HELGA) data set. GMCs are identified from the Herschel maps using a hierarchical source extraction algorithm. We present the results of this new catalog and characterize the spatial distribution and spectral energy properties of its clouds based on the radial dust/gas properties found by Smith et al. ...

... 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. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...
