The integrated H I line flux, the characteristic widths of 21 cm line profile W 50 and W 20 (for a Hanning smoothing of 10.6 km s -1 ), and the derived H I mass for HS 0822+3542 are presented in Table 1 . The small H I mass 2.4 of this galaxy is consistent with its low optical luminosity. ... A rough estimation can be made also on the dynamical mass of HS 0822+3542. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

... Research . ... There is mounting evidence that AGN feedback is important in galaxy evolution. Radio-mode feedback is thought to be particularly significant because the mechanical action of the expanding lobes provides a strong coupling mechanism between AGN energy and the surrounding environment. In order to quantify this feedback, detailed models of radio lobe evolution are required. ... Cambridge, UK - Nov 2013 . PDF . Poster for Modern Radio Universe conference . ...

As noted earlier Kristian Birkeland, reporting in 1903 on his expeditions to the auroral zone, proposed that magnetic disturbances accompanying the aurora were caused by large electric currents flowing down the length of auroral formations. ... In later years these currents became known as the auroral electrojets , and considerable debate ranged over their cause and the way their circuit might be completed. ...
