... Programme . ... Abstract: -ray signatures of hadronic acceleration in Centaurus A are investigated. Using two different models for the generation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) in active galactic nuclei and normalizing the UHECR flux of Centaurus A to the observations of the Pierre Auger Observatory, we calculate the accompanying high energy -ray flux in the GeV to TeV range. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... The rates of type Ia supernovae from double degenerate mergers channel in different star formation models (left panel), and the rate contribution function to the present-day ( t disc = 10Gyr) supernovae rates in the thin disc (right panel). ... We have compared the impact of different star-formation models on the rates and numbers of DDs and on the rates of type Ia (SNIa) and core-collapse supernovae (ccSN). ...

The silicates that produce the 10 and 18 micron features appear to be broadly similar to terrestrial minerals such as Forsterite and Enstatite. ... Where pre-solar silicate dust grains can be isolated from meteorite material, these also tend to be Mg-rich silicates rather than Fe-rich silicates. ... It has been suggested that the interstellar silicate grains have a different 10 micron feature profile than what is observed for the silicates around evolved stars. ...

... Early studies of PMS stars focused on T associations, especially Taurus-Auriga. However, one might expect low mass star formation to be different in OB associations. ... He identified Orion OB1a as the stars northwest of the belt. Orion OB1b is composed of the stars near the belt, including the belt stars and Orionis. ... He finds no perceptible distance change within the Orion OB1b association and finds the distance modulus to be 7.8 and 7.9 for Orion OB1a and OB1b respectively. ...

... Image Quality of the VLT . Total Optical Control . First light for the ESO VLT unit telescope 1 occurred during the workshop. ... The image shown (Figure 1 ) here was obtained with the VLT on May 16, 1998, in red light (R band), i.e. while the mirror was still uncoated. ... In this diagram (FIgure 2), the measured image quality of the VLT UT1 astronomical images is plotted versus the ``seeing", as measured by the Seeing Monitor, a small telescope also located on top of the Paranal Mountain. ...

Masses of asteroids 10 Hygiea and 152 Atala have been obtained by the dynamical method. ... m 152 = 1.34 0.27 (10 -11 Sun )]. ... Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), Small Solar System Body (SSSB), mass of asteroids 10 Hygiea, mass of asteroids 152 Atala, the dynamical method, perturbing asteroids, the additional acceleration, the Yarkovsky effect, elimination of erroneous observations, optical observations. ...

... Comparative study of Tl-2201 single crystals with different temperatures of superconducting transition by means of specific heat method. Abstract: . The comparison studies of the specific heat of Tl-2201 single crystals with the different oxygen concentration have led to the conclusion that the doping by oxygen, resulting in lowering of T c and increasing of number of paramagnetic centers, leads to diminishing of antiferromagnetic correlations contribution to the specific heat. ...

... 205Anglada+ 0) and NH3(1,1) observations towards 172 different star forming regions (99 observed in both molecules) associated with H2O maser emission. We make a comparative study between the physical parameters obtained from the CS and NH3 spectra, and their relationship with the H2O maser emission. ... We find that both the CS and the NH3 lines are significantly wider in regions with H2O masers than in other regions. ...

Astro Space Center of P.N.Lebedev Physical Institute , Profsoyuznaya 84/32, Moscow 117810, Russia . We argue that the contribution of cosmic gravitational waves into the large-scale CMBR anisotropy can exceed for a broad class of the inflationary models with effective -term producing the standard local spectrum of primordial cosmological perturbations. ...

... 06dec12: compare calibration runs oldsbn, new sbn (before focus change), new sbn after focus change . 23nov12: compare calibration runs of old,new receiver (out of focus) . ... Calibration runs done during oct12 with the old sbn rcvr are compared to calibration runs done with the new receiver (on 23nov12). ... Tsys:dropped from 25,5 to 23K. Since this measures stokes I, it includes polA and polB. the old receiver had TsysA=24, tsysB=30K. the new receiver has TsysA,B both equal to about 23K . ...
