... For more than seven decades, remote Pluto was counted among the planetary canon. ... Opinion among astronomers for and against this new definition is now regularly slung about, and there is anticipation of a coming showdown -- between, on the one side, those who favor retaining Pluto's planetary status and revisiting the new definition of "planet," and, on the other side, those who advocate for the new definition in the midst of a burgeoning number of recently discovered planetary bodies . ...

Hot stars of *spectral type O, B, and A. They were originally thought, wrongly, to be at an earlier stage of evolution that *late-type stars. ... Young massive O stars that show selectively enhanced emission lines of ionized helium (HeII) and nitrogen (NIII) in addition to a well-developed absorption spectum. ... The emission lines are thought to arise in an expanding stellar atmosphere moving at very high speeds of up to 3000 km/s so that the star is continuously and rapidly losing mass. ...

... Judged by their instrumental profiles, spectrometers fall into two basic classes---Lorentzian and Gaussian---with many other line profile functions (sinc functions, Voigt functions, Airy functions, etc.) falling into one of these two categories in some limit. We demonstrate that the Rayleigh, Sparrow, and Houston resolution criteria are of limited use compared to the ``equivalent width'' of the line profile. ... Rayleigh criterion. ... All of these functions have continuous higher derivatives. ...
