Monitoring the subscription of the CVZ is important. ... cvz-targs . Print the resulting plot from ghostview. This produces an IDL plot file showing the distribution of CVZ est_orbits as a function of RA for northern CVZ targets plus RA+180-degrees for southern targets. ... CVZ opportunities vary in length depending upon bright earth limb avoidances, target declination, and other factors, so some visits could have longer or shorter contiguous CVZ opportunities than others. ...

... The distribution of redshifts among the DXRBS FSRQs identified so far (Figure 3) is quite similar to that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. ... A more thorough comparison will have to await completion of our survey and the convolution of the redshift distribution with the WGACAT sky coverage. As has already been mentioned by Hook et al. (1996), selecting flat-spectrum sources is an efficient way of finding high-redshift, radio-loud quasars. ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

Figure 55 shows the ``Green functions'' for the double compact binary merging rate   evolution assuming no collapse anisotropy. ... Another way that diverse peculiarities in the - distribution induced by the sources evolution could arise is connected with a possible non-monotonic character of the star formation rate in galaxies. ... 22 ] Figure  56 shows two-dimensional cuts through the parameter space. ...

Next: Power of test Up: Basic principles of Previous: Test statistics . In principle, it is possible to compute a value of the statistic for a single frequency and to test its consistency with a random signal ( ). ... The factor N means that there is an increased probability of accepting a given value of the statistic as consistent with a random signal. ... In the command individual descriptions, we often refer to probability distributions of specific statistics. ...

... The presence of small scale fluctuations of density (or of optical properties) in the spatial distribution of the dust would have important consequences for the modelling of molecular clouds because the UV light penetration and therefore the physical and chemical processes depend strongly on their structure (cf Boiss? ... We have developed methods to study in a direct way the amplitude of small scale variations of the extinction throughout translucent clouds ( mag). ...

... We employ Bayesian inference for the joint estimation of sources and background on ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data. ... Background maps were estimated in a single step together with the detection of sources without pixel censoring. ... The source probability is evaluated for single pixels as well as for pixel domains to enhance source detection of weak and extended sources. ... The spline fits the background component whereas count enhancements classify pixel (domains) with source contributions. ...
