... Most of the spirals discussed in the following are well-known starburst galaxies (M 82, NGC 253, etc.) In addition to their nuclear activity, which makes them so popular, the selected galaxies have several other phenomena in common, such as bars, gas outflow, and possibly nuclear rings. ... I will show that the gas dynamics in the outer and inner parts of these galaxies are strongly related to their starburst activity. ... NGC 253 . ...

... Discusses the role of a pipeline in the AXAF Science Center Data System. Due to the complexity of the application, a prototyping effort was initiated to evaluate the risks involved with portability, open architecture, error handling/recovery, and distributed processing. Processes in the pipeline are initiated and monitored by a process control application developed using Perl. ... During that time, a Process Control application was developed to allow us to assess the risk factors. ...

. In this review we discuss optical contiuum emission from stellar flares and the possible physical mechanism that may be responsible.

... Accurate positions of 404 compact radio sources used as calibrators by the VLA are presented. In addition, the structure and polarization of each source at both 4885 and 1465 MHz are given. ... Amplitude calibration was based on 3C286, whose fluxes at 4885 and 1465 MHz were assumed to be 7.41 and 14.41 Jy, respectively, in accord with the scale of Baars et al.

... Study of Mg-Fe-silicate glasses of variable composition. ... With the new data, the astrophysical discussion started in Paper I was continued and focussed on the comparison of the olivine glass data with IRAS LRS spectra of O-rich circumstellar envelopes around Mira stars. ... The new olivine glasses point to the interesting consequence that the temperature for silicate dust grains at the inner edge of circumstellar envelopes must be considerably higher than the values often given in the literature....

... From the uvby photometry and proper motions for about 5500 nearby F stars we have found the following: (i) F stars , taken in narrow ranges of metallicity , show at [fe/H] 0 rather distinct cut-off in their distribution along the Main Sequence (MS) at the blue side, which is suggested to be an indication for the MS turn-off in stellar groups of fixed metallicity ; (ii) the corresponding turn-off age from theoretical isohrones strongly correlates with the ...
