... This talk focuses on exploring the connection between Ly absorbers and galaxies. The theorist view of gas in the low z universe is based on the filamentary structures that are evident in simulations based on the CDM paradigm. ... The observer's view of gas in the low-z universe is based on the Ly absorbers which have column densities as low as 10 cm , while galaxies are at column densities of 10 cm . ... The absorber has N cm . ... Can examine LSS defined by gas-rich galaxies around absorbers. ...

... Most people that are interested in supernovae use whatever telescopes they can get access to, but researchers at certain colleges and universities are able to access specialized telescopes like NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory . It?s a telescope that orbits the Earth and that has a specialized purpose of being able to observe X-ray emissions from supernovae, clustered galaxies and the materials around black holes. ... super@supernovae.net . ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

Another method is to take very fast exposures of an object; in effect taking images faster than the seeing can blur the image. ... A third, relatively new method, is to try to detect just how the seeing is affecting the image, and actually warp the telescope mirror to compensate. ... The advantage of the second method is that it's easier to make many small mirrors than one big one. ...

RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...
