The notes in their current form concern only 2 but main for astronimy aspects of the optical properties of cosmic dust - the ability to extinct and polarize transmitted radiation. The corresponding obervational effects the extinction and polarization (not due to scattering) plaied and plays till now the primary role in astrophysical effects of cosmic dust considered in the literature. ...

. Mars is "behind" the sun from the earth's point of view and is therefore not visible in the nighttime sky (i.e. its up in the daytime). Venus it at greatest elongation and appears in the western sky as a bright object for 2-3 hours after sunset .

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

Saxton & Wu (1999) presented calculations of the stability of the accretion shock which forms on the surface of an accreting magnetic white dwarf in AM Herculis type systems in an attempt to explain the observed properties of the quasi periodic oscillations sometimes seen in these systems. He showed that radiative cooling may cause thermal instability in the post-shock structure of the accretion flow settling onto a magnetic white dwarf. ...

... 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. ...
