The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

... Since the reddening found for the stars in Table 13 was small, no reddening correction was attempted. ... These diamonds indicate the positions of very low mass, 3 Myr old, objects from the work of Burrows et al. ... This optical V versus R - I scheme is a very powerful method of detecting very low mass (VLM) objects. ... Because of this, young brown dwarfs are intrinsically no more difficult to observe in the optical than low mass stars at the age of Orionis. ...

... We have observed and studied critical supercurrents, Ic, in cross-type Nb-Cu/Ni-Nb junctions with Josephson layers prepared from diluted ferromagnetic alloys. For suitable values of the exchange energy in the ferromagnet and the F-layer thickness we have observed Ic(T) oscillation with vanishing Ic for the definite values of T and dF. ... Critical supercurrents, Ic, in Nb-Cu(1-x)Ni(x)-Nb Josephson SFS junctions with F-layers prepared from ferromagnetic Cu(1-x)Ni(x) alloys have been studied. ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

... We carried out follow-up spectroscopy of 178 Case galaxies in the zone - 16 h , and - +38 ,classified in the Case catalog with some code, indicating the presence of the line [O III ] 5007, and not observed in the previous follow-up studies. ... We conclude that Case ELGs give the high fraction of BCGs -- about 60 % of all galaxies with strong enough emission lines, and more than 40 % of all Case galaxies, marked with some code of the presence of [O III ] line. ...

The X-ray Fundamental Plane of Clusters of Galaxies Yutaka Fujita National Astronomical Observatory, Japan We analyze the relations among central gas density, core radius, and temperature of X-ray clusters by plotting the observational data in the three-dimensional (log  gas;0 , log r c , and log T gas ) space and nd that the data lie on a 'fundamental plane'. ... The two parameters describing the plane are formation redshift and temperature of clusters. ...

... The formation of the disks of disk galaxies remains poorly understood. ... Many disk galaxies have only the thin disk component, with no bulge or significant thick disk. ... Almost all disk galaxies have an exponential radial surface brightness distribution. The reason for this exponential form is not known; nor is it known when the exponential form is established. ... We would compare low redshift galaxies observed in the I band with galaxies at z =0.5 in the J band and at z =1 in the H band. ...
