This result highlights the power of infrared monitoring in detecting Obscured SNe and indicates that optical surveys are probably missing a significant fraction of SNe, especially in obscured systems such as starburst galaxies. ...

Next: Radial velocity of the Up: Optical spectrum of IRAS04296 Previous: Observations and spectra reduction . ... However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

Emission Line -- Continuum Correlations in Low­Redshift Quasars Belinda Wilkes , Smita Mathur, Jonathan McDowell (SAO) and Ari Laor (Caltech) We investigate the relation between the observed optical emission line strengths, widths and ratios and the observed continuum properties for two samples of quasars: 43 Einstein observed quasars for which we have obtained IR--soft­X­ 1994). ... 1) Contrary to PG sample and Shastri et al. ...

We examine spectral time series of coronal line Mg IX 368 ? and transition region line O V 629 ?, observed with the Coronal Diagnostic Spectrometer (CDS) onboard the SOHO spacecraft. Primarily we were looking for intensity and velocity oscillations in polar plumes, however by chance we detected a giant macro-spicule at the limb and were able to follow its dynamical structure. ... The emission is also detected from the macro-spicule in the Mg IX 368 ? ... line. ...

... We present the results of an ongoing survey of cool, late­type supergiants -- the descendants of massive O and B­type stars -- that has systematically detected magnetic fields in these stars using spectropolarimetric observations obtained with the ESPaDOnS at the Canada­France­Hawaii Telescope. Our observations reveal detectable, often complex Stokes V Zeeman signatures in the Least­Squares Deconvolution mean line profiles in a significant fraction of the observed sample of 30 stars. ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ...

... The Stellar Oscillations Network Group (SONG) seeks to study p-mode (acoustic) oscillations in solar type stars. ... The observation of many solar-like stars will also help us to understand how solar p-modes are excited and damped. ... Naively, the two or three orders of magnitude improvement over this provided by the normal 1 second time resolution of the KPNO CCD cameras should be quite sufficient for such a detection. ... Figure: Non-cadenced data-a free-running observing sequence. ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

Microsymposium 38, MS083, 2003 (A4 format) MERCURY: LOCAL VARIATIONS OF THE PHOTOMETRIC RELIEF. ... Because of trajectory and pointing angle constraints the planet could be observed from Mariner 10 only over a small range of phase angles between about 75o and 110o. Therefore the photometric investigations are restricted to measuring the distribution of brightness on the Mercurian disk. ...
