... Method A simple radiative transfer model representing a HISA cloud with fore­ ground and background H i emission and background continuum emission is described by the expression T ON - T OFF =  T S - T C - p T OFF   1 - e -#  , (1) where T ON and T OFF are observed brightnesses on and o# the HISA feature, T S is the spin or excitation temperature of the HISA gas, # is its optical depth, T C is the continuum intensity, and p is the fraction of H i emission lying behind the HISA feature. ...

... Observations of the Moon eclipse on 17.09.97 have shown the Moon details contrasts had decreased and the total radio brightness had fallen at all observed frequency range (from 10% at 1.38 sm down to 2.5% at 13 sm).

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. ...

... 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. ...
