We explore variations in dust emission within the edge-on Sd spiral galaxy NGC 4631 using 3.6-160 ЮМm Spitzer Space Telescope data and 450-850 ЮМm JCMT data with the goals of understanding the relation between PAHs and dust emission, studying the variations in the colors of the dust emission, and searching for possible excess submillimeter emission compared to what is expected from dust models extrapolated from far-infrared wavelengths. ...

A comparative study of type I and type II supernovae . ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, U.S.S.R. (Received 26 November, 1985) . ... No significant difference between SNe I and SNe II has been found in their radial distribution and frequency of outbursts in spiral galaxies. ... The radial distribution of type Ia SNe in spiral galaxies is only slightly steeper than the one for SNe II, while SNe Ib/c are more concentrated towards the central regions. ...

... A universal physical relation for quasars . ... Harvey Tananbaum and his collaborators have first observed a relation between the soft X-ray and the optical/ultraviolet emission in AGN in 1979. Such relation is nonlinear, and it is usually parameterized as dependence between the logarithm of the monochromatic luminosities at 2500 †Е ( L 2500†Е ) and 2 keV ( L 2keV ) . ... Yet, the dispersion along the L 2500†Е тАУ L 2keV relationship is found to be rather high, typically ~0.35тАУ0.4 in log units. ...

... Mindful of these biases, I can now explore the relations between the measured rotation periods and various other observables. The hypothesis behind monitoring stellar variability is that active stars have asymmetric spot distributions on their photospheres. ... They found that only stars with rotation periods greater than seven days show variations greater than 0.4 magnitudes at I. Bouvier et al . ... 1993a) demonstrated a relation between X--ray flux and spectral type in ZAMS stars. ...

Do LIRGs follow the Tully-Fisher relation? ... For a small we can say majority of investigate i Conclusion number of galaxies in our sample, that the T-F relation holds. ... The purpose of this research was to study the LIRGs (Luminous Infrared Galaxies) and see if they follow the Tully-Fisher relation. The LIRGs are different to normal galaxies in the fact that they emit 90% of their light in infrared. ... The faster the galaxy rotates, the wider is the emission line in velocity. ...

Our calculations show that if GRB indeed are due to binary neutron star coalescence,   they can potentially constrain the cosmological parameters as well as the early star formation history. ... 1994)).[ ... If the cosmological origin of GRB is confirmed, the - and test could be used independently to estimating the cosmological parameters and tracing star formation history in galaxies. ...

... The results of long-term monitoring of Gigahertz-Peaked Spectrum sources were found the statistically significant differences (0.05 significance level) in the high-frequency spectral index distribution between subgroups of galaxies and quasars. ... This can mean that the electron energy distribution for GPS galaxies is steeper than for GPS quasars. ... The first area corresponds to GPS-quasars that have statistically larger value of redfhift, second area corresponds to GPS-galaxies. ...
