... We study this mechanism throughout the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Aims: We aim to quantify the importance of the [C II] cooling line and the photoelectric heating process of various environments in the LMC and to investigate which parameters control the extent of photoelectric heating. ... We correlate the photoelectric heating efficiency and the emission from various dust constituents and study the variations as a function of HЮБ emission, dust temperatures, and the total infrared luminosity. ...

The Ursa Major group is a nearby stellar supercluster which, while not gravitationally bound, is defined by co-moving members. DD UMa is a Scuti star whose membership in the Ursa Major group is unclear. The objective of this study is to confirm the membership of DD UMa in the Ursa Major group, as well as perform a detailed spectral analysis of the star. ...

... The history of star formation was successfully analyzed for the first time based on the spectra of the stellar population of dwarf galaxies of low surface brightness outside the Local Group. We have investigated the stellar population of two dwarf spheroidal galaxies KDG61 and KDG64 in the central part of a close group of galaxies M81. ... These galaxies are dominated by the old stellar population (12-14 billion years) of low metallicity ([Fe/H] ~ -1.5). ... KDG61 . ... KDG64 ...

Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... 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. ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

logd25 is the decimal logarithm of the length the projected major axis of a galaxy at the isophotal level 25 mag/arcsec 2 in the B-band (this is the diameter of the galaxy if it is a disk). Many papers were devoted to the study of diameters and specially to the reduction to the standard system defined by the isophote at the brightness of 25 B mag/arcsec 2 . ... The shape of the galaxy at the same isophotal level (B=25 mag/arcsec 2 ) is defined in the parameter logr25 . ... HyperLeda . ...

Modern Dynamic Methods of Determination of Parameters of Meteor Bodies . ... The study takes an approach in modelling the fireballs' mass and other properties from the rate of body deceleration in the atmosphere as opposed to conventionally used luminosity. An analytical model of the atmospheric entry is calculated for registered fireballs using published observational data and evaluating parameters describing drag and ablation of meteors and bolides along the luminous segment of the trajectory. ...

... In this talk, I will discuss a study of the effect of ionization on the low end of HI mass function. The existence of a large population of low mass galaxies follows from CDM theory. ... HIDEEP found no low HI column density galaxies. One possible explanation is that the disks are "frozen". ... We assume that galaxies are exposed to an ionizing background radiation, from a uniform quasar distribution. ...
