... We have assumed a constant in time star formation rate and the total number of stars in the Galaxy, , to be such that the total mass of the galaxy is ; assuming the Salpeter mass function   , we get . ... This number agrees with a standard estimation of the galactic star formation rate of order of per year. In each run of calculations, we trace the evolution of binaries with initial parameters randomly distributed according to the chosen initial laws. ...

... Routines for accessing I/O ports are in /usr/include/asm/io.h (or linux/include/asm-i386/io.h in the kernel source distribution). ... Before you access any ports, you must give your program permission to do so. This is done by calling the ioperm() function (declared in unistd.h , and defined in the kernel) somewhere near the start of your program (before any I/O port accesses). ... For example, ioperm(0x300, 5, 1) would give access to ports 0x300 through 0x304 (a total of 5 ports). ...

When the SOGS Unix systems go down due to difficulties with the system or power failures, it is necessary to keep all users informed of the down time. Since email cannot be used in this situation, a Phone Mail distribution list has been created with each SOGS Unix user's name and extension. ... When prompted, enter the Distribution List number: 500 . ... Of course, if SOGS Unix is down, its unlikely you'll be able to get to this Web page, so just remember the phone list number! ...

The electron-cyclotron maser instability is widespread in the Universe, producing, e.g., radio emission of the magnetized planets and cool substellar objects. ... The model used takes into account the radiation escape from the source region and the particle flow through this region. ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

Next: Identification and Analysis of Binary Star Systems using Probability Theory . ... We present a computing code for modelling energy flux distributions, photometric indices and spectral line profiles of (non-)radially pulsating Main-Sequence stars. ... In the case of slowly rotating stars one can use the zero-rotation approximation to describe stellar pulsations. Such a model was used already by Cugier, Dziembowski & Pamyatnykh (1994) to study nonadiabatic observables of Cephei stars. ...

When this is done for the energy map, with the energy scale distributed logarithmically, the result is shown on Fig. ... It can be shown that the mean magnitude at each duration reproduces the mean power spectrum in log-log coordinates. Therefore, this particular presentation of the probability density function shows graphically the scale-dependent scatter around the mean energy spectrum. ...

The probability density function (PDF) is a simple analytical tool for determining the hierarchical spatial structure of molecular clouds. ... We have recently conducted a PDF analysis of the molecular gas in the G333 and Vela C giant molecular cloud complexes, using transitions of CO, HCN, HNC, HCO+ and N2H+. The results show that CO and its isotopologues trace mostly the log-normal part of the PDF, while HCN and HCO+ trace both a log-normal part and a power law part to the distribution. ...
