... Edge-on spiral galaxies with prominent dust lanes provide us with an excellent opportunity to study the distribution and properties of the dust within them. ... Aims: Within this first paper, we present the Herschel observations and perform a qualitative and quantitative analysis on them, and we derive some global properties of the far infrared and submillimetre emission. ... Modified black-body fits to the global fluxes, measured using aperture photometry, result in dust temperatures and dust...

I would go further than VLK and claim that the Weinberg quote contains great advice. ...

The following page provides access to several SVM codes developed by us. ... Several our codes realizing some other exact and approximate methods are also available. The codes are provided by rather small (sorry) comments and test run results. ... Another page contains links to other collections of light scattering software (under construction). Our overview of the ranges of applicability of different codes is under preparation. ... Created by V.I. Last modified: 10/05/03, V.I. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . rmfgen (rmfgen-1.52.4) [xmmsas_20041122_1834-6.1.0] . ... rmfgen generates the RMF based on the properties of only one CCD chip of the instrument. In the case of the MOS, this is central chip. ... Heavy consumption of disk space is expected. Memory consumption will also be high as the full RMF is held in memory before being written to disk. ...

... Natalya V. Raguzova and Sergei B. Popov . ... We present a compilative catalogue of Be/X-ray binaries and candidates in the Galaxy and in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This catalogue contains 160 sources and provides information on names and spectral types of optical components, distances, on spin characteristics of neutron stars, and on orbital and X-ray properties of binary systems. ... Be/X-Ray Binaries and candidates in the Galaxy . Galactic sources: comments to the Table 1 . ...

The VIRGO project is a physics experiment; its aim is the detection of gravitational waves. ... It has not yet been possible to detect directly the gravitational waves: it remains one of the major challenges of experimental physics. ... Interferometric antennas for gravitational waves Gravitational waves distort space-time: along two perpendicular directions, the distances between fixed points will increase (resp. decrease), at the arrival of a gravitational wave. ... Publications from our Group . ...

... Programme . ... Abstract: The five-year WMAP results coupled with single-dish observations at low frequencies have provided us with the first broad-band, spatially resolved observational constraints on the radio spectral properties of the giant lobes of Centaurus A. I will review what this tells us about the dynamics and activity history of the source and comment on the implications for inverse-Compton emission and high-energy particle acceleration in the giant lobes. go back . ...
