The Spitzer Infrared Nearby Galaxies Survey (SINGS) is carrying out a comprehensive multiwavelength survey on a sample of 75 nearby galaxies. The 1-850 ЮМm spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are presented using broadband imaging data from Spitzer, 2MASS, ISO, IRAS, and SCUBA. ... Spitzer's excellent sensitivity and resolution also allow a detailed investigation of the infrared SEDs for various locations within the three large, nearby galaxies NGC 3031 (M81), NGC 5194 (M51), and NGC 7331. ...

It is possible to incorporate in the SAS software packages that are not part of the official SAS distribution. These we call 'external packages'. All that is needed is to set the environment variable SAS_PATH to point to all directories that contain SAS components, in the form of a colon-separated list. ... He will have to set the SAS_DIR and SAS_PATH environment variable and call the sas-setup script (preferably in a login script), e.g. (csh): setenv SAS_DIR /usr/sas . ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. ... However, their distribution and space velocities suggest they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II, [ Drilling 1986 ]). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

A STUDY OF THE FRAGMENT DISPERSAL AND TRAJECTORY OF THE SAYH AL UHAYMIR 001 METEORITE SHOWER. ... We obtained hundreds of GPS find locations, analyzed the fragment distribution, and developed a model of the meteorite's trajectory. ... More than 2670 samples weighing more than 450 kg have been collected. ... Increasing fragment mass along track indicated a flight direction of 233o. The fragments' mass distribution was used to model the meteorite trajectory. ...

... The pinhole simulation program is a computationally and memory intensive task. ... A parallel version was developed instead, to enable distributed processing on a cluster of workstations. The program makes use of the Message Passing Interface (MPI) standard for parallel processing, implemented as an API (Application Programming Interface) to the Local Area Multicomputer (LAM) programming environment developed at the Ohio Supercomputer Center. ...
