... 88, Jan. 1983, p. 1-15. l. A survey of extragalactic radio sources made using driven declination scans is reported covering an area of about 0.07 sr to a limiting flux density of 35 mJy. The fast-scan survey was carried out at a galactic latitude greater than 17 deg with the NRAO 91-m telescope operating at 4.755 GHz, and the 480 sources detected were reobserved at 1.4 GHz with the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center 305-m telescope at Arecibo. ...

... This thesis sets out to explain this observation by the presence of optical non-thermal synchrotron emission, connected with the relativistic jet that powers the radio emission in these quasars. ... We find that about 40% of the sources have power-law SEDs, while a similar number show evidence for two primary components: a blue power law and optical synchrotron emission. The blue power law is similar to the dominant component observed in the spectra of optically-selected QSOs. ...

... Direct observation of the vortex structure in high- T c superconductors in tilted magnetic fields. Abstract: . A high-resolution Bitter technique has been used to observe an effect of tilting the external magnetic field on the flux line lattice (FLL) in Tl 2 Ba 2 CaCu 2 O 8+x single crystals. ... The reason is believed to be that the formation of the equilibrium vortex state (vortex chains) was prevented by strong pinning, revealed for our crystals by the M(t) curves. ...

... Iron abundance in the atmospheres of components of the binary system 41 Draconis . ... 5B Iron abundances, FeI and FeII lines equivalent widths, and microturbulence velocities were found for the components of a highly eccentric spectroscopic and interferometric binary system 41 Dra from high resolution spectra obtained close to the periastron. Weighted mean values of iron abundances in the atmospheres are lgN(Fe) = 7.66 ± 0.03 and lgN(Fe) = 7.72 ± 0.03 for the component a and b, correspondingly. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the linear polarization of starlight due to extinction by aligned dust grains when the starlight traverses a medium with irregular magnetic fields. This medium is intended to represent the optically thick components of interstellar clouds which are observed to make little, if any, contribution to the polarization of starlight. ...
