... The sky distribution of the BCGs from the HSS sample is shown in Fig. 6 together with BCGs from the SBS and Case surveys (Izotov et al. [ 1993b ]; Pustilnik et al. ... First, we compare the apparent magnitude distributions of the three samples. ... The similar behaviour of the faint end of the apparent magnitude distributions infers that the Northern BCG sample may have a similar completeness down to this limiting magnitude. ...

Next: Redshift Distribution Up: Sample Identification Previous: Previously Identified Sources . ... In Figure 3, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS FSRQs opposite that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. In Figure 4, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS BL Lacs opposite the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ... The apparent deficit of objects at the very highest luminosities is a result of the smaller area of sky covered by DXRBS compared to, e.g., the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ...

... 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. ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...

... Since the reddening found for the stars in Table 13 was small, no reddening correction was attempted. ... These diamonds indicate the positions of very low mass, 3 Myr old, objects from the work of Burrows et al. ... This optical V versus R - I scheme is a very powerful method of detecting very low mass (VLM) objects. ... Because of this, young brown dwarfs are intrinsically no more difficult to observe in the optical than low mass stars at the age of Orionis. ...

... We propose that the bimodal nature of the kick velocity distribu­ tion of radio pulsars is connected to the dichotomy between hadronic stars (i.e. neutron stars with no quark matter content) and quark stars. ... Here we propose a scenario in which the low­velocity part of the distribution is connected with normal (hadronic) compact stars, and high­velocity part is formed by objects with some amount of quark matter inside (hybrid or strange stars). ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

Multiphase Turbulence in Extragalactic Jet Cocoons Martin Krause Paul Alexander Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge The observations ( Alignment effect ) · Radio galaxies at redshift 0.5 show associated optical emission : emission lines + rest frame blue continuum, correlations of many properties are evidence for the interaction · ... Note the pronounced peak at 14,000 K. The system energy reduces much faster, the more cold mass added. ... No cool gas appears in the control run. ...

... 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. ...

... Research . ... I aim to understand the variety of processes that have driven galaxy formation and mass assembly across cosmological history via the resolved (star-by-star) study of nearby systems - in particular the Milky Way and Andromeda (especially their stellar halos and globular cluster populations), the Magellanic Clouds, and the myriad of smaller dwarfs that inhabit the "Local Group".б  . ... Globular clusters are fascinating objects in their own right. ...
