... Authors: Rosa A. Gonz lez 1 , Ronald J. Allen 1 , Boris Dirsch 1,2 , Henry C. Ferguson 1 , Daniela Calzetti 1 , Nino Panagia 1,3 We describe a new, direct method for determining the opacity of foreground galaxies which does not require any a priori assumptions about the spatial distribution or the reddening law of the obscuring material. ... In the interarm region, the combination of extinction and reddening can be explained by a diffuse component with a Galactic reddening law (R V 3). ...

... PPTA timeline . ... List of projects . ... RedGW . ... One of the main goals of pulsar timing array projects is to limit the existence of a background of gravitational waves (GWs). Jenet et al. (2006) developed a method to determine such a limit if (and only if) the pulsar timing residuals were statistically white. In the paper we used data from six pulsars from the PPTA project to obtain a limit. The remaining pulsars were rejected because their timing residuals were not white. ...

... The MIDAS system is available, free of charge, to all non--profit research institutes, whereas other organisations or companies may be charged a nominal fee to cover distribution. Institutes interested in using MIDAS must sign a User Agreement before they receive MIDAS. The necessary forms can be obtained by contacting the Data Analysis Group at ESO/Munich. ... The current system at ESO/Munich is frozen several months prior to the official release. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

... Determination of Black Hole Masses via Correlations between their X-Ray Spectral and Timing Properties " . ... This fact strongly support our theoretically motivated idea that low frequency QPO for a particular BH state is inversely proportional to BH mass.Based on our scaling technique, we determine BH masses in H1743-322, GX 339-4, XTE J1650-500, XTE J1859-226, 4U 1543-47, 4U 1630-47, using independently known masses of XTE J1550-564, GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105 as references. ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...
