Next: Pulsations Up: PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Previous: PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS . The fundamental properties of RCBs may be deduced from their spectra at maximum light. ... The properties of a stellar atmosphere may be measured from both the large-scale features - the broad-band flux distribution - and the detailed spectrum of absorption lines. ... They show that, in general, hydrogen makes up less than one part per thousand down to less than one part per million of the stellar atmosphere. ...

The goal of this paper is to present the results of a preliminary analysis of the extended infrared (IR) emission by dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We combine Spitzer Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) and Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data and correlate the infrared emission with gas tracers of H I, CO, and HЮБ. ... We construct maps of the temperature of large dust grains. ...

... In brief: the frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved for a dust under assumption of spherically-symmetric geometry for its distribution taking into account particle size distribution and quantum heating effects for the very small dust particles. ... Table: Model parameters for IRAS04296+3429. ... parameter . ... hot dust shell) . ... The best fit to the spectral energy distribution of IRAS04296 is shown by heavy solid line (see Table2 for details concerning parameters of the model...

To model the interstellar polarization one needs to calculate the forward-transmitted radiation for an ensemble of non-spherical aligned dust grains. ... Let non-polarized stellar radiation passes through a dusty cloud with a homogeneous magnetic field. ... The angle between the line of sight and the magnetic field is ( ). ... where the angle is connected with and ( ). ...

Figure 55 shows the ``Green functions'' for the double compact binary merging rate   evolution assuming no collapse anisotropy. ... Another way that diverse peculiarities in the - distribution induced by the sources evolution could arise is connected with a possible non-monotonic character of the star formation rate in galaxies. ... 22 ] Figure  56 shows two-dimensional cuts through the parameter space. ...

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. ...
