We investigate the relative importance of starbursts and active galactic nuclei (AGN) in nuclear activities of ultraluminous infrared galaxies (ULIRGs) based on chemodynamical simulations combined with spectrophotometric synthesis codes. We numerically investigate both the gas accretion rates (ARs; m acc ) on to supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and the star formation rates (SFRs; m sf ) in ULIRGs formed by gas-rich galaxy mergers and thereby discuss what powers ULIRGs. ...

... Irregular, damped ULF range magnetic pulsations occurring in connection with magnetospheric substorms are called Pi 2 pulsations (T = 40 - 150 s; Saito, 1969). ... Since the waves can be detected with little time delay over a wide range of latitude and longitude, they have been used for the ground based determination of the substorm onset time. ...

We post here additional plots related to the report on the quality of the data taken without the VCMs. The files report_prism_e0g0.pdf , report_prism_g0h0.pdf, and report_prism_g0k0.pdf show for each night separately the resulting visibility function for the calibration stars based on the regular algorithms (right) and the modified algorithms (left). Also shown at the end of these files are all obtained visibility functions in one plot. Transfer functions were not yet computed. ...

... Mindful of these biases, I can now explore the relations between the measured rotation periods and various other observables. The hypothesis behind monitoring stellar variability is that active stars have asymmetric spot distributions on their photospheres. ... They found that only stars with rotation periods greater than seven days show variations greater than 0.4 magnitudes at I.

... Results of measurement of Jovian flux, enumerated on a standard distance 4.04 бе, are displayed on figure 1a. The attempt is made to divide a response of a magnetosphere of the falling comets into two parts: immediate responce during impacts and more delaed one. On figure 1b the relation of the measured flows to a relative phase is showed and the data from July 17 till July 23 are excluded. ...

... The Sun is the closest star to us, and a regular object in our Galaxy. Solar activity manifests itself, primarily, in solar flares - episodic explosive energy release in the form of electromagnetic radiation and high energy particles (electrons and protons). The nature of the flares is related to cyclic variations of global and local magnetic fields in the atmosphere of the Sun. ... Such formations are called active regions. ...

Magnetic field measurements onboard the INTERBALL AURORAL spacecraft. Magnetic field measurements onboard the INTERBALL-2 (Auroral Probe) is carried out by the IMAP-3 instrument. ... The IMAP-3 instrument is designed to measure three components of the DC magnetic field in two ranges: +/- 6800 nT with resolution 1 nT and +/- 68000 nT with resolution 10 nT. ... We cannot calculate now By and Bz components separately due to absence of the spacecraft attitude data. ...

... GCR and SCR are primary cosmic rays. 10-15 years after the discovery of cosmic radiation (1919) there emerged two main avenues of investigation in the physics of cosmic rays (CR): 1) nuclear - elucidation of the origin of elementary particles and nuclear interactions; and 2) astrophysical (space physics) - solution of the problem related to the origin and variations (changes in intensity) of CR. ... Besides, the CR flux in interplanetary space is, strictly speaking, not isotropic. ...

... A three-cell test section roughly representative of the primary mirror was provided for this test by the Steward Mirror Lab. ... Additionally, the tests are intended to determine relative airflow vs. pressure drop characteristics for each of the air flow patterns so the results can be evaluated both as a function of flow rate and of pressure drop along the flow path. ... The bottom (top as installed) was cut out so it could close the chamber for heating and be removed for the cooling tests. ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

... The concepts of Fourier frequency and wavelet duration are obviously related. ... Among many sensible definitions, we chose to require that the peak of the wavelet mean spectrum should be matched with the singularity of the Fourier transform of the cosine wave. Then, it can be shown that the frequency of the cosine is related to the wavelet duration by the relation . ... The ambiguous definition of the duration of an event is common to the sizing of any object of irregular shape. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...
