... The BM effect causes low-luminosity blazars (particularly BL Lacs) to be missed in surveys because the apparent luminosity of the non-thermal nuclear source does not exceed that of the host galaxy by a large factor. ... Browne (1995). ... In addition to these objects, a large fraction of the newly-identified BL Lacs in our sample (10 of 22; see Table 5) have been so classified only by virtue of our usage of the expanded March? et al.

Next: Other People's Software . ... Quality system management of computer workstations for astronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost-effective administrative design decisions are made. ... This is all done with essentially one system manager. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...

... The width of hydrogen lines is known to depend on the pressure in the photosphere, and then on the luminosity and effective temperature of the star. We have studied this dependence using the spectra of normal B stars from the databases by Jacoby et al., ... The resolution of Jacoby spectra (4.5А) coincides with the resolution of our BTA/UAGS spectra (4.4A). ... Dependence of full width FWZI of hydrogen lines on star spectral type and luminosity class. ...

... Shock is a non-linear plasma wave generated by plasma flow (Burgess, 1995). ... Shocks are thus places where plasma and field go through dramatic changes in density, temperature, field strength, and/or flow speed. If there is no plasma flow through the surface (Un <> 0) or there is no dissipation and compression across it, we talk about discontinuity only, not shock. ... Contact discontinuity . ... Plasma pressure and field strength increase at shock; magnetic field bends away from normal . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... The problem turned out to be that I was always using the same background in Photoshop, and when I made it transparent, the edge pixels, having been anti-aliased to merge with that color, did not turn transparent. Now I always use the same background color in Photoshop that I intend to use on my web page. ... Now, one of the big tricks here involves the translation from RGB mode to Indexed Colors. ...
