... Up: Algorithms . ... The imaging problem can be described as an optimizing problem in mathematics. ... Computer simulations of rotating modulation collimator imaging show that the quality of images from this method is better than that from the traditional cross-correlation method. ... The imaging problem is: . ... The results show that this algorithm can be used in the imaging problem and usually results in a better image than that obtained from a traditional method such as cross-correlation. ...

... The large body of near infrared observations presented in Testi et al. (1997; 1998) are analysed with the aim of characterizing the young stellar clusters surrounding Herbig Ae/Be stars. The results confirm the tendency of early Be stars to be surrounded by dense clusters of lower mass "companions", while Ae stars are never found to be associated with conspicuous groups. ... Only the most massive stars (10-20Msun) are found to be associated with dense (10^3 pc^-3) stellar clusters. ...

Next: HST Science: Structure Up: Scientific Results from Deconvolved Previous: Introduction . A major question in the minds of most astronomical users was discussed by Ivan King at this workshop - the issue of validation of the output from deconvolution. ... Fig. 1 shows an example of cross-validation, using data taken from Keel (1993). The image is of the faint radio galaxy 53W044 at redshift . ... For galaxies with smooth, symmetric structure, modelling allows an independent comparison. ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

... Indeed, one alteration of orbits can be the outright ejection of a planet. When several big planets are orbiting a star under each other's influence, the system is inherently unstable. ...

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...

... BLUE STRAGGLER STARS are unusually hot and bright stars found in the cores of ancient star clusters known as globulars. ... BACKGROUND (from wikipedia): Blue straggler stars are stars in open or globular clusters that are hotter and bluer than other cluster stars having the same luminosity. ... There is evidence in favor of this view, notably that blue straggler stars appear to be much more common in dense regions of clusters, especially in the cores of globular clusters. ...
