We present new images (ground-based optical and mid-infrared [MIR] from the Spitzer Space Telescope) and spectra (from Spitzer) of the archetypal starburst galaxy M82. The Spitzer data show that the MIR emission extends at least 6 kpc along the minor axis of the galaxy. ... The colors of the MIR emission and the spectra indicate that there is a strong component of aromatic feature emission (the MIR features commonly attributed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). ...

... Category: CLEAN, MANIPULATION, RADIO, TABLES File: clean.c Author: K.G. Begeman Description: CLEAN finds point source components and subtracts them with their antenna response. ... Keywords: INSET= Set and subset(s) of dirty map(s)/line(s). Maximum number of subset(s) is 2048. ... DEFSET= Set and subset(s) for definition of search area [Search area defined by box]. CLEAN looks for components only where the values in these maps/lines are not equal to BLANK. ... CUTOFF= Cutoff level [0.0]. ...

Extended time series of Solar Activity Indices (ESAI) is database including observational, synthetic and simulated sets to study Solar magnetic field variations and their influence on the Earth. ESAI extend the ordinary lengths of some traditional indices of solar activity: sunspot areas, Wolf numbers (equatorial component of magnetic field of the Sun), polar faculae numbers (polar component), mean latitudes, N-S asymmetry of hemispheres (location of activity). Series . ...

Comment on J2246-1206 . In contrast to the jet pointing to the NE in our image, the 5 GHz VLBI image of Shen et al. (1998) shows no indication of extended emission above the 20 mJy/beam level. Hong et al. (1999) find a jet component to the SE and identify that with a "superluminal" component possibly ejected in 1992. A 15 GHz image from the USNO database, taken nearly at the same epoch as the image of Hong et al. (1999) does not show any component at this position angle. ...
