... Accurate identification of physical binary star systems has become of increasing interest in recent years. ... Identification of physical binary star systems, with an estimated reliability of such identifications based on the theory of probability, is also important for current and future efforts to find binary star systems that are candidates for observations with the aim of determining their orbits and component masses. ... probability of the proximity of proper motions and ; . ...

On the Metallicity-Color Relations and Bimodal Color Distributions in Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems by M. Cantiello and J. P. Blakeslee . Many observations on globular cluster systems (GCS) show bimodal distributions in color and metallicity space. ... Based on their simulation study, (V-H) and (V-K) are confirmed to be good colors for revealing unbiased bimodal metallicity distributions in GCS. ...

Program: RADPROF Purpose: Solves the radial surface density distribution from a strip integral of the brightness distribution. ... Algorithm: 1. read in the observational data of observation 1 from the data file for both the east and west side 2. convert the positions on the resolution (= position ) axis to radial distances in the plane of the galaxy 3. make an inital guess of the radial distribution 4. start lucy iterative scheme to compute the true radial ...

Next: Analysis in the Up: MIDAS utilities for Previous: Fourier analysis . For the detection of smooth signals, e.g. sinusoids, use either SCARGLE/TSA or AOV/TSA with bins. ... SCARGLE/TSA -- . Scargle sine model: This command computes Scargle's (1982) periodogram for unevenly spaced observations x . ... In this way, the command can be used to perform a CLEAN-like analysis manually by removing individual oscillations one by one in the time domain (see Roberts et al. ... AOV/TSA -- . ...

... Herschel Mission . ... Water along the outflow from a young nearby protostar: a Herschel view . ... Figure 1 shows a detailed view of the IRAS4A outflow through the comparison between the H 2 O emission and the emission from several other molecular tracers of gas with different excitation conditions: H 2 , CO(3-2), CO(14-13), and CO(6-5). The figure nicely reveals where shocks deposit energy into the molecular cloud, lighting up the water emission along the outflow . ...

... To plot the data (and model, here xitau.model), I have read the model, computed the model values for the ASTROMETRY, and used Plot|ASTROMETRY to produce the ASTROMETRY plot widget. ... First, plot the data and with Util|Ellipse and the mouse buttons interactively define an apparent ellipse to fit your data as best as you can. ... Under Util|Orbit, there is a Thiele-Innes procedure to estimate the orbital elements using your apparent ellipse and Kepler's laws! ... Back to tour page . ...

... arXiv.org . astro-ph . ... We fit the near-infrared to radio spectral energy distributions of 30 luminous and ultra-luminous infrared galaxies with pure starburst models or models that include both starburst and AGN components to determine important physical parameters for this population of objects. In particular we constrain the optical depth towards the luminosity source, the star formation rate, the star formation efficiency and the AGN fraction. ...

. Merging cluster DLSCL J0916.2+2951 and its three matter components. Overlaid on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) color image of the galaxies is the total mass distribution (blue) based on WL analysis of the HST images and the cluster gas distribution (red) based on Chandra X-ray observations. The bulk of the collisional gas is located between the two collisionless galaxy and mass concentrations, indicative of a dissociative merger.
