... We derive several relationships to obtain total IR luminosities from IR monochromatic fluxes, and we compare five different star formation rate (SFR) estimators for H II regions in M81 and M51: the UV, HЮБ, and three estimators based on Spitzer data. ... For the entire M81 galaxy, about 50% of the total SF is obscured by dust. ...

... Different statistical tests are used to compute the probability of a given hypotheses being correct. ... For single quantities, a confidence interval is estimated for the desired significance level. ... When the underlying distribution is normal, the ``Student's'' t and the distributions are used to estimate the confidence intervals for the mean and standard deviation, respectively. ... For this purpose the test variable . ... Special tables give the confidence interval for this test variable. ...

[2008] presented a statistical study of sizes and relative geoeffectiveness of ICMEs (bodies of magnetic clouds) and preceding sheaths for 46 events responsible for intense (Dst < -100 nT) geomagnetic storms in 1996-2005 in which only a single ICME was responsible for generating the storm. ... 2008]. ...

... Different sections of an image may have different exposure. ... The obvious remedy for this is to divide the input image by the exposure map before smoothing. ... If you wish to create a background map in counts per pixel from an XMM exposure in which the exposure time varies significantly between CCDs, then you will need to remultiply the the output image by the exposure map; if however you wish to create a mosaic from several different cameras or pointings, you may wish not to do so. ...

These spots appear dark in photographs like the one above, but in fact sunspots are quite bright - they are just dark compared to the rest of the Sun. ... This field slows energy from entering the sunspot region, causing sunspots to appear cooler, darker, and lower than the surrounding surface. ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...
