... Bright spot spectra have been constructed by differencing the mean spectra observed at pre- and post-eclipse orbital phases. These difference spectra contain ultraviolet absorption lines and show the Balmer jump in emission. ... Model disk spectra constructed as ensembles of stellar atmospheres provide poor descriptions of the observed post-eclipse spectra, despite the fact that UX UMa's light should be dominated by the disk at this time. ... huizinga@stsci.edu . ...

... We present a computer program for modelling energy flux distribution and light curves of eclipsing binaries from far ultraviolet to infrared regions. The Roche model is assumed. Proximity effects of components (reflection of radiation and surface gravity darkening) are taken into account. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... Star formation requires interstellar clouds that are cold and dense enough for self-gravity to overcome internal pressure from gas thermal motions and other factors, thus leading to cloud contraction and eventual collapse to stellar densities. ... Absorption has all of these parameters plus one more describing the fraction of the emission (p) that is behind the absorbing cloud. ... Obser ving Interstellar Hydrogen Clouds Clouds in the ISM can produce either emission or absorption spectra. ...

Having studied the solar corona and its radio emissions sunspot cycles ago, I was keen to verify its existence optically during the total solar eclipse of Wednesday, 4 December 2002, the first on Australian soil since 1976. The moon's shadow was to travel from the south-Atlantic west of The Congo, across southern Africa, the Indian Ocean and into the Great Australian Bight, finally making Australian landfall at Ceduna, South Australia (SA). ... The favoured site to observe the eclipse was Ceduna. ...

Next: Summary Up: The Epsilon Aurigae Previous: Eclipse Lightcurves for . In this section, we attempt to account for the observed asymmetry in absorption line profiles by using a crude model of the thermal expansion of the outer edge of the disk as it rotates into the radiation field of the primary. ... Hinkle and Simon (1987) proposed that the asymmetries in the pre- and post-central eclipse line profiles are a consequence of the vaporization of grains caused by heating from the primary. ...
