Next: Caverns in Binary Systems Up: Ejectors in Massive Binary Previous: The Number of Ejectors . In the very first years after the discovery of radiopulsars, it became clear that for some reason they avoid forming binary systems. ... Illarionov and Sunyaev (1975)[ 76 ] noted the fact that coherent radiowaves with a wavelength longer than 75 cm, which make it possible to observe most of the radiopulsars, are absorbed effectively in the stellar wind of a normal star. ...

Data access in GIPSY is done through a set of routines collectively known under the name `` GDS '' (GIPSY Data System). ... A set consists of one or two files: the descriptor file and the image file. ... In GIPSY there are kinds of coordinates: . ... To retrieve a descriptor item, given its name and level, the GDS reading routines start looking at the specified level and if it is not found there, higher levels are tried. ... Every GDS routine has an integer error argument, which often is optional. ...

As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...

... 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. ...

We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...

... Direct observation of the vortex structure in high- T c superconductors in tilted magnetic fields. Abstract: . A high-resolution Bitter technique has been used to observe an effect of tilting the external magnetic field on the flux line lattice (FLL) in Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x single crystals. ... The reason is believed to be that the formation of the equilibrium vortex state (vortex chains) was prevented by strong pinning, revealed for our crystals by the M(t) curves. ...
