... The correction factor computed from each image is set to zero at the positions of CR hits. The contribution to the correction factor which is then missing due to those zeros, , is filled with contributions from all images, where each image contributes proportional to its local weight. If for example the PSF is undersampled, a hole in image 1 will closely resemble an otherwise flat image that is zero at the affected pixels. ...

... While this has been true for me in the last few months, that is not the only reason why it has been such a long time since the last occasion that a SN was discovered with my backyard 41cm telescope. In 1994 there were several amateur discoveries of Sne, either visually or using a CCD as a detector. ... When I awoke there was only fifty minutes left before first light and it took the minutes to get dressed and get the telescope out of the shed onto the observing pad in the back lawn. ...

... The University of Ulster and Armagh Planetarium have just announced an exciting new competition: you are invited to become inspired by Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell, one of the most distinguished female scientists of our time, and design a mural to celebrate her contribution to astronomy.

Gravitational wave contribution to CMBR anisotropy V.N. Lukash 1 and E.V. Mikheeva 2 Astro Space Center of P.N.Lebedev Physical Institute 3 , Profsoyuznaya 84/32, Moscow 117810, Russia We argue that the contribution of cosmic gravitational waves into the large­scale CMBR anisotropy can exceed 50% for a broad class of the inflationary models with effective \Lambda­term producing the standard local spectrum of primordial cosmological perturbations. ... 10 7 k hor (Figure 2). ...

Gravitational four-fermion interaction and dynamics of the early Universe I.B. Khriplovich, A.S. Rudenko Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics, 630090 Novosibirsk, Russia October 2013 According to common beliefs, present expansion of Universe is result of Big Bang. Quite popular idea is that this expansion had been preceded by compression with subsequent Big Bounce. ... Its energy density is = n4/3, is numerical factor, n1/3 is typical energy per particle. ... Solution of FLRW equations. ...

... We have observed and studied critical supercurrents, Ic, in cross-type Nb-Cu/Ni-Nb junctions with Josephson layers prepared from diluted ferromagnetic alloys. For suitable values of the exchange energy in the ferromagnet and the F-layer thickness we have observed Ic(T) oscillation with vanishing Ic for the definite values of T and dF. ... Critical supercurrents, Ic, in Nb-Cu(1-x)Ni(x)-Nb Josephson SFS junctions with F-layers prepared from ferromagnetic Cu(1-x)Ni(x) alloys have been studied. ...

One of the prominent scientists of the 20th century Gamow was born in Odessa on March 4, 1904 in the family of a secondary school teacher. ... In 1994, in the year of his 90-th anniversary, an International Conference "Astrophysics and cosmology after Gamow" was held in Odessa and St.Petersburg. The idea of this conference is supported by the UNESCO representation in Russia and by the International Renaissance Foundation (Odessa branch) (affiliation of the Soros Foundation). ...

... This talk focuses on exploring the connection between Ly absorbers and galaxies. The theorist view of gas in the low z universe is based on the filamentary structures that are evident in simulations based on the CDM paradigm. ... The observer's view of gas in the low-z universe is based on the Ly absorbers which have column densities as low as 10 cm , while galaxies are at column densities of 10 cm . ... The absorber has N cm . ... Can examine LSS defined by gas-rich galaxies around absorbers. ...

... Sources found in the local detection step (task eboxdetect ) at significance levels (column SIGMA of eboxdetect source list) exceeding a user-specifiable threshold (input parameter mlmin ) in the respective energy band are removed from the image using a suitable PSF and source brightness dependent cut-out radius (determined to be the radius at which each source contributes more than a user-specifiable number of counts/arcsec to the background; parameter scut ; default value: 0.01). ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

Since 1994, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific's (ASP) highly successful national Project ASTRO? program has been providing opportunities for professional and amateur astronomers to contribute to science education in their local communities. ... The original "classic" Project ASTRO educator-astronomer partners found tremendous interest in what they were doing among the families of their students, and thus Family ASTRO was born to continue at home what was begun in the classroom. ...

I would like to propose two new features for the axes annotation in the GMT. 1st: In astrophysics, we often work with great ranges of values (many orders of magnitude). ... However, GMT 3.2 allows to plot annotations for log10 axes every integer log10 value or even more frequently. The proposed patch allows to specify large steps for the log10 axes, in the form illustrated by an example below. 2nd: 10^0 instead of 1, and 10^1 instead of simply 10 do not look beautiful. ... The patch is here. ...
