... the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for the randomly-irregular magnetized plasma has been derived on the base of general grounds of the multiple scattering theory . ... Solutions of several absolute tasks of the scattering theory have been obtained (on the optical depth of the ionospheric plasma layer, on the value of radio wave anomalous attenuation, on anomalous refraction, on the backscattered signal intensity for the source being placed within a plasma layer). ...

Spectropolarimetry and modeling of Galactic Wolf-Rayet star WR156 O LGA M A RY E VA Special Astrophysical Observatory RAS; olga.maryeva@gmail.com For the first time spectropolarimetric observations of Wolf-Rayet star WR156 (WN8h sub-class) were conducted. ... This polarization is, most probably, has an interstellar origin, as its magnitude and orientation are similar to the ones of field stars. ... By its parameters WR156 is similar to other WN8h stars, displaying the line effect. ...

... Three day radio-astronomical forecast of the proton activity of the Sun: The figure shows multiwave radio emission scans - graphs of the distribution of intensity I and circular polarization V across the solar disk, obtained at RATAN-600. ... According to this criterion, for a proton flare to arise, the flux of radio emission must be sufficiently high at short wavelengths (blue color scans) and should increase with time compared to the general intensity. ... More about the solar activity . ...

HI Line Measurements of Eight Southern Pulsars . ... To derive their kinematic distances and to study the interstellar medium, we have measured 21-cm absorption and emission spectra in the direction of eight southern pulsars with the Parkes telescope . ... We present our absorption and emission spectra for these eight pulsars, derive kinematic distances and electron densities along their lines of sight where possible, and compare our results with previous work. ...

CORONAL METALLICITIES OF ACTIVE BINARIES Vinay Kashyap, Jeremy Drake, Deron Pease Harvard­Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics JЁ urgen Schmitt Max Planck Institut fЁ ur Extraterrestriche Physik SUMMARY We analyze EUV and X­ray data on a sample of X­ray active binary stars (HR 1099, – And, UX Ari, VY Ari, ё UMa, 44i Boo, and YY Gem) to determine coronal abundances. EUVE spectrometer data are used to obtain line fluxes, which are then used to determine Differential Emission Measures (DEMs). ...

... We present 7mm observations of the dusty disk surrounding the 10 Myr old 1.5 Msun pre-main-sequence star CQ Tauri obtained at the Very Large Array with 0.8 arcsecond resolution and 0.1 mJy rms sensitivity. ... We find that the disk radius is constrained to the range 100 to 300 AU, depending on the steepness of the disk surface density distribution. The power law index of the dust opacity coefficient, beta, is constrained to be 0.5 to 0.7. ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...
