We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. ... In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. ...

... For high spectral resolution observations the devices permanently located at the N2 focus of the BTA are used (Klochkova, 1995, Panchuk, 1995). However for a number of tasks to be performed, it is needed to rule out the influence of the second and third mirrors, i.e. to realize the high spectral resolution ( ) directly at the prime focus. ... Examine the principal parameters of the PF echelle spectrometer, which is equivalent in spectral resolution to the CCD-equipped MSS (Panchuk, 1995). ...

The ESO Very Large Telescope consists of an array of four 8-meter telescopes which can work independently or in combined mode. ... In such a mount the telescope tube moves around a horizontal axis called elevation axis. ... The telescope tube itself consists of a steel structure supporting at the bottom the primary mirror (M1) in its cell, and at the top the M2 Unit by means of metallic beams called "spiders". ... The VLT can operate in either Cassegrain, Nasmyth or Coud focus. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

... FOCUS is used in VLBA test observations to specify an increment to the focus value used for the subreflector position. This is added to the nominal position known by the on-line system for the particular receiver. ... This parameter might be used in astronomical observations if one wished to have the most optimum focus for a given frequency for a receiver that has a significant focus variation with frequency. ... Argument: An incremental focus position in mm. ... Default: 0.0 . ...

... Archives . ... The PCA and ICA is used for separating mixed components with some assumptions. ... The need of source separation methods in astronomy has led various adaptations of decomposition methods available. ...

... Radio emission at around 90 GHz from star-forming galaxies is expected to be strongly dominated by the free-free component due to ionising radiation from massive, short-lived, stars. We present high surface-brightness sensitivity observations at 90 GHz of the nearby star-forming galaxy Messier 66 with resolution of about 9 arcsec (corresponding to a physical scale of about 500 pc) and analyse these observations in combination with archival lower frequency radio and mid-infrared measurements. ...
