The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

... Magnetic fields, subatomic particles, etc., traveling in different directions fill the universe. Do they deflect or otherwise affect one another? If so, isnт??t the information we get from them distorted? ... Neutrino astronomy, which is still in its infancy, is attractive because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter that few of these distorting effects occur.

... The MIDAS system is available, free of charge, to all non--profit research institutes, whereas other organisations or companies may be charged a nominal fee to cover distribution. Institutes interested in using MIDAS must sign a User Agreement before they receive MIDAS. The necessary forms can be obtained by contacting the Data Analysis Group at ESO/Munich. ... The current system at ESO/Munich is frozen several months prior to the official release. ...

Thirteen observations were received and displayed. ... All four observations were reported to look okay. ...

. A distribution list is very useful where a group of users need to communicate amongst themselves on a regular basis. Each list is given a name just like any other user. By addressing a message to the list name, the sender can be sure that everyone will receive a copy. You cannot set up a distribution list yourself. Ask your system administrator to set one up for you.

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. However, they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II). ... In either case, the populations are sufficiently old that RCB stars must have relatively low masses ( ). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

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. ...

Where and how are we looking for evidence of life? ... Because the universe is an immense place, it makes sense to search for evidence of life in more than one way. In addition to focusing on what we know about life on Earth, especially in extreme environments, astrobiology currently comprises three basic types of searches in space, each employing different technologies, looking in different places, and expecting to find different kinds of data: . ... The search types ? ... Extrasolar Planets vs. ...

Next: The CDS Information Hub . ... In this context, the CDS (Centre de Donn?es astronomiques de Strasbourg) has developed the GLU system (G?n?rateur de Liens Uniformes). This tool allows all managers participating in the system to describe and easily distribute the URL definitions required to access their databases. ... So, the GLU system is particularly adapted to design cooperative Web services, allowing one to generate links to other services which remains always up-to-date. ...
