... This chapter documents all the JavaScript objects, along with their methods and properties. ... Full entries for each object appear in alphabetical order; properties and functions not associated with any object appear in Chapter 2, "Top-Level Properties and Functions." ... Tables included in the description of each object summarize the object's methods and properties. Full entries for an object's methods and properties appear in alphabetical order after the object's entry. ...

... 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. ...

This is a tabulation of interstellar dust scattering properties dertermined from observations of various astrophysical objects (eg., ... Almost all studies in this field aim to determine the single scattering albedo (a) and scattering phase function asymmetry (g = <cos( )>) as different wavelengths. ... Plot Details . ...

... 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. ...

Download Izmccd (~2.7 MB). ... a) a choice of the best mode of measurements of stars and objects ("Properties/Measurement"), . b) a choice of reference stars. ... 1) necessity of presence on an image of a plenty of stars (we recommend to apply this mode, if on the frame of reference stars is more 100) . ... Sx and Sy depend from residuals at all reference stars (reference stars are marked by blue color). ... These residuals are the image of the star a minus function of a profile for each pixel. ...

[text file] . ... It can be downloaded in source format, in a gzipped tar archive. ... Changes from the previous version can be seen here (this file is included in the tar archive), while the archive files and documentation from the previous release versions are here , if you are really interested. ...

... 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). ...
