... Dust in the region is studied photometrically at ultraviolet, optical, and far-infrared wavelengths to analyze nebular colors, grain properties, and scattering geometry. Constraints on this geometry are provided by spectroscopy of radio emission lines and optical absorption lines of the interstellar gas, which also reveal a significant amount of fine-scale filamentary structure. ...

Intermediate-Mass Black Holes: Formation and Observational Constraints . ... 2001. ... I will review the possible formation mechanisms and observational constraints on such black holes, including the following issues: (a) formation through stellar evolution; (b) formation during galaxy formation; (c) primordial black hole formation; (d) constraints from microlensing; (e) intermediate mass black holes as dark halo constituents; and (f) intermediate mass black hole formation in stellar clusters. ...

N. N. Kolesnikov, M. P. Kulakov . Synthesis of MgB2 from elements . Abstract: . Superconducting at 40 K MgB 2 -samples were obtained by direct reaction from elements in molybdenum crucibles under argon pressure. Pressure allows to provide annealing at temperature up to 1400 o C, that resulting in rise of T c and compactness of the ceramics, suggesting that there is a homogeneity range of composition for the compound.

Let $X$ be an algebraic variety and $f$ a dominant rational self-map of $X$, both defined over a number field. We shall study Zariski closures of iterated orbits $\{f^k(x), k\geq 0}$, where $x$ is an algebraic point of $X$. ...

... Io's Surface: Under Construction . ... 21.03.1997 . ... Io's surface is constantly under construction . This moon of Jupiter holds the distinction of being the Solar System's most volcanically active body -- its bizarre looking surface continuously formed and reformed by lava flows. Generated using 1996 data from NASA's Galileo spacecraft, this highest resolution composite image of Io is centered on the side of Io that always faces away from Jupiter. ...
