We have assembled a homogeneous database of 417 ultraviolet (UV) extinction curves for reddened sight lines having International Ultraviolet Explorer spectra. ... We find that (1) the Cardelli, Clayton, Mathis (CCM) extinction law applies for 93% of the sight lines, implying that dust processing in the Galaxy is efficient and systematic, (2) the central wavelength of the 2175 ц… bump is constant, and (3) the 2175 ц… bump width is dependent on environment. ...

CORES OR CUSPS IN ELLIPTICAL GALAXIES: LUMINOSITY OR ENVIRONMENT? ... The low lumi nosity disky galaxies have `hard' cores with a steep slope in the luminosity profile at small radii, whereas the luminous galaxies have `soft' cores with flat profiles at small radii (e.g. Faber et al. ... Coma Cluster cores In the gas/stellar continuum paradigm, one would expect that in the outer parts of a cluster it is more likely that the last merger was gaseous than in its central regions. ...
ST-ECF Instrument Science Report ACS 2003-001 The in-orbit wavelength calibration of the WFC G800L grism A. Pasquali, N. Pirzkal, J.R. Walsh March 5, 2003 ABSTRACT We present the G800L grism spectra of the Wolf-Rayet stars WR45 and WR96 acquired with the Wide Field Channel during the Servicing Mission Orbital Verification (SMOV) tests and the early Cycle 11 INTERIM calibration programme. ... The grism 1st order spectra of WR45 (left) and WR96 (right) are shown in Figure 6. ...
... Complex astrophysical phenomena could now be studied spectroscopically: the X-ray absorption line forest intrinsic to Seyfert galaxies; the interaction between AGN jets and intracluster media; hot winds of starburst galaxies; stellar coronal plasmas; the charge -exchange emission of Mars' exosphere; the X-ray irradiation of protoplanetary disks; and the myst erious flat-topped spectral line shapes of O star winds. ... We estimate that Gen-X will be able to detect and resolve 20, 000 stars in NGC...
