An experimental investigation of turbulent flows with special experimental setup and equipment, which allow to obtain reliable data with good precision, is very difficult and expensive process. ... The natural assumption for the theory of turbulence is that there exist some (unknown yet) general and universal properties for wide range of different turbulent flows. ...

... Galaxies in the Local Volume . ... Accurate distances are now available for the majority of these nearby galaxies, allowing us to visualise the Local Volume in 3D, study the local Hubble flow and its dispersion, the (baryonic) Tully-Fisher relation, the local star formation density, etc. Individual galaxies in the Local Volume can be studied in amazing detail across a large range of wavelengths (some stunning examples are compiled in the Multiwavelength Astronomy pages). ...

The spatial power spectra of Galactic . ... Neutral hydrogen is an important constituent of the interstellar medium, and has been widely studied at 21 cm line emission. Within the Galactic plane, structure of HI emission is seen over wide range of angular scales, down to tens of milliarc seconds. ... In the high galactic latitudes an alternative approach is seen more reasonable - to describe HI emission in terms of an angular power spectrum over a range of scales. ... Figure 1. ...

WISH: WATER IN STAR-FORMING REGIONS WITH HERSCHEL . ... HS3F: HERSCHEL SPECTRAL SURVEYS OF STAR FORMATION REGIONS . ... Since gas cools mostly by line emission, knowing what molecules are formed and which lines are emitted in the different regions at different times is mandatory to understand the gas thermal balance. ...

Next: Discussion Up: Adaptive Regularized Restoration Algorithms Previous: Iterative Image Restoration . ... Fig. 1 shows the original blurred image and the Richardson-Lucy restoration. Fig. 2 shows the restored result using the generalized iterative adaptive algorithm and the frequency adaptive algorithm. ... The graph for the Richardson-Lucy implementation is seen in Fig. 4, the spatial iterative adaptive algorithm's graph is seen in Fig. 5, and the frequency adaptive algorithm's is seen in Fig. ...

... We revised topographical data obtained for the region to construct a generalized structure of the SPA basin as ringed formation. ... Because of our previous analysis of the ring structure [5, 6] we assumed the projection center o o coordinates as 180 W and 40 S. The hypsografic map shown in Fig. 1 demonstrates a hemisphere of the Moon which contains the SPA basin structure and its environs. ... Then we find the o o basin outermost ring center at roughly 180 and 40 S. Inner structure of the SPA basin...

... The remote planet Pluto and its moon Charon orbit the Sun at a mean distance of almost 6,000 million kilometres, or nearly fourty times farther out than the Earth. During a recent investigation by an international group of astronomers [1], the best picture ever of Pluto and Charon [2] was secured with the European Space Agency's Faint Object Camera at the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... The new HST image was taken when Charon was near its maximum elongation from Pluto (0.9 arcseconds). ...

... Accurate identification of physical binary star systems has become of increasing interest in recent years. ... Identification of physical binary star systems, with an estimated reliability of such identifications based on the theory of probability, is also important for current and future efforts to find binary star systems that are candidates for observations with the aim of determining their orbits and component masses. ... probability of the proximity of proper motions and ; . ...

Marc White . ... Turbulent entrainment processes may play an important role in the outflows from young stellar objects at all stages of their evolution. In particular, lateral entrainment of ambient material by high-velocity, well-collimated protostellar jets may be the cause of the multiple emission-line velocity components observed in the microjet-scale outflows driven by classical T Tauri stars. ...
