... 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. ...

... The sample of the Local Volume galaxies (distance smaller than 10 Mpc) gives a unique opportunity to study the properties of galaxies including the weakest objects: the absolute magnitude M B -10 and the virial mass M vir 10 9 M x263C;. ... Luminosity function of the Local Volume galaxies. ... The luminosity functions for galaxies are presented: red dashed line - from the 2dFGRS survey (Norberg et al. 2002); blue dash-dotted line - from the SDSS survey (Blanton et al. ...

Chiaki Kobayashi, Ralph Sutherland How galaxies did form and evolution? - to answer this unsolved problem, we are simulating the formation and evolutionary history of galaxies in the Universe, including star formation, supernovae feedback, and chemical enrichment. Comparing the spacial distribution of elements within galaxies with observations, we will examine fundamental physical processes that drive galaxy formation. ...

The call for 1-mm Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) proposals to use phased ALMA at Band 6 in Cycle 4, in collaboration with the Event Horizon Telescope Consortium (EHTC), will be released to coincide with the ALMA Cycle 4 Call for Proposals in March 2016...

NMW survey overview . Access image archive . ... The New Milky Way survey aims to detect bright (V<13.5) optical transients near the Galactic plane using an automated wide-field (8x6 deg.) system capable of surveying the whole Milky Way area visible from the observing site in one night. ...

The calculated flux distribution in the 300 to 400 nm region only fits the observed distribution closely for both the Sun and Arcturus when the complete ATLAS9 line list is used. ... Moreover, for Arcturus, even the sub-set of high quality lines can only provide a close fit to the observed high resolution spectrum if we include, ad hoc, an extra amount of continuous absorption opacity. ...

Computer models of objects (galaxies, circumstellar disks, etc.) are often generated to compare with observed images. ... When comparing models to WFPC2 images, it is often forgotten that the instrumental PSF can have a very significant effect. ... Also, the undersampling of the WFPC2 cameras makes the model image very sensitive to subpixel alignment. ...
