Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...

... I studied a variable star with small light variations found on the Kepler satellite. ... I calculated the surface properties and created a hypothesis of a reflecting binary star system to be the cause of this variation in luminosity. ... I can do this by studying the atomic spectra of the star. ... I found the star to be rich in Helium. I then compared the spectrum against model spectra of Helium rich stars to work out the surface gravity, surface temperature and Helium abundance of the star. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

... Up: Data Analysis Applications . ... The astrometric properties of the NOAO Mosaic Imager are investigated using the new IRAF MSCRED and IMMATCHX packages and observations taken during recent engineering runs. ... The TAN projection plus cubic polynomial plate solutions and bilinear interpolation were used to combine the 8 pieces of the mosaic into a single 8K by 8K image with an undistorted TAN projection coordinate system. ... A new plate solution was computed for the combined images. ...

... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...

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. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

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. ...

... We report on a study of the infrared properties of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ d , Bi 1.66 Pb 0.34 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ d , and Tl 2 Ba 2 CuO 6+ d crystals at doping levels from underdoped to strongly overdoped. ... While we observe a normal-state gaplike depression in 1/ t ( w , T ) in the underdoped regime, it is not observed in the overdoped regime. While the high-frequency 1/ t ( w , T ) is temperature independent in the underdoped regime, it scales with temperature in the overdoped regime. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...
