... Research . ... The major problem in HVC research is the unknown distance towards most of the HVCs. ... Thilker et al. (2004) used the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) to map an area of $7^{\circ} \times 7^{\circ}$ around M31 in H i . They discovered a population of HVCs located within a projected distance of about $50~\mathrm{kpc}$ from M31. ... 2004). ... The remaining HVCs around M31 are isolated in position and velocity and may represent primordial, dark-matter-dominated clouds. ...

FAMILIES AND SCATTERING . ... An important observation on the orbital distribution of irregular satellites is that satellite families at Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are not well defined. At Jupiter one finds 3-4 reasonably compact retrograde families, corresponding to each of the previously known retrograde irregulars and one prograde family. ... That is contrary to the current doctrine that very little has happened to these irregular satellite families following their collisional formation. ...

... 1997: . The character of internal motions of gas in 7200 HI clouds in the outer region of our Galaxy was investigated according to the data of the HI survey with the RATAN-600. It turned out that the effect of turbulence, as the main mechanism of gas motion is not essential, while it was discovered that 36% of the clouds are rotating. ... Periodic variations of optical emission of the gamma, X-ray and radio pulsar GEMINGA were for the first time discovered from the observations with the BTA. ...

... For eight samples of main-sequence disk stars, the metallicity indices 0.6 , R-1 (U-V), m1 ( ) have been calculated. The indices 0.6 and (U-B) have been calibrated to the metal abundance [Fe/H] for the spectral types F, G and K separately. ... It is found that the UBV and RI data for F- and K-dwarfs imply that the metallicity of the Sun coincides with that found for the Hyades, whereas the G-dwarfs give the well known smaller metallicity of the Sun with respect to the Hyades. ...

... We present the first results of an extensive near infrared survey of galactic and OH masers in high--luminosity star forming regions (SFR) aimed to see if there are near--infrared (NIR) sources directly associated with the masers. ... Although not in all sources there are high sensitivity--high resolution radio continuum observations, only few of the K--band/maser sources are closely associated with known ultracompact (UC) Hii regions. ...

... It is found that the correlation coefficients between these two parameters calculated separately inside and outside the sunspot formation zone ±30 have cyclic variation and occur in anti-phase. This suggests different mechanisms of formation of the corona in the fields of small, medium, and large scales. ... The relationship between the coronal green line brightness (CGLB) and the magnetic field strength (MFS) has been investigated by constructing the corresponding synoptic maps for the 1977-2001. ...

Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...
