The dust properties in the Large and Small Magellanic clouds (LMC/SMC) are studied using the HERITAGE Herschel Key Project photometric data in five bands from 100 to 500 m. Three simple models of dust emission were fit to the observations: a single temperature blackbody modified by a power-law emissivity (SMBB), a single temperature blackbody modified by a broken power-law emissivity (BEMBB), and two blackbodies with different temperatures, both modified by the same power-law emissivity (TTMBB). ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... CORR_RATE - The count rate after the following corrections have been applied; . 1) A further point-spread function correction may be applied, to extrapolate the counts from 12 to 35 pixels (presently only done for UV observations) 2) Correction for dead-time. 3) Correction for the OM sensitivity-degradation. A key-word TDS_CORR is added to the table to record the correction value. ... XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2008-07-02 ...

... To determine a lower limit to the sensitivity of current observations to measurements of NS surface temperatures, we have used data from the Einstein Slew Survey (Elvis et al. 1990) to establish temperature limits for 275 pulsars which received nonzero exposure during the survey. ... Filled squares correspond to pulsars actually detected in the survey data; the smaller symbols correspond to upper limits to the count rates. ...

Neglecting the second derivatives matrix , we obtain the ``normal equations'' and the Gauss--Newton direction . This so--called Gauss--Newton method is intended for problems where is small. ... The algorithm implemented here is a modification of that Gauss--Newton method, that allows convergence even for rank deficient Jacobians or for large residuals. ...

In the report, we will discuss the value distribution of the modified Mellin transform of the square of the Riemann zeta-function introduced and studied by A.Ivic, M.Jutila and Y.Motohashi. We will recall its analytical properties as well as some estimates and mean square estimates. After this, we will state continuous and discrete limit theorems in the sense of weak convergence of probability measures on the complex plane and in the space of meromorphic functions for this transform. ...

... The author of the cover picture is Vasilisa Verkhodanova. The picture symbolizes our perception of the world. The modified emblem of the SAO unifying the 6-m optical telescope and the raditelescope RATAN-600 of SAO RAS is placed in the center of the radio galaxy isophotes. From the one hand, we can investigate the properties of radio galaxies with these (and other) telescopes, and try to study physical processes providing their activity. ...

In 2001, Westerbork observations of the disturbed galaxy named VV-29 (alias Arp-188, UGC-10214) showed that there is second smaller galaxy (named VV-29c) that appears behind the western side of the main body of the distorted galaxy. ... The galaxy was featured as the May 2, 2002 Astronomy Picture of the Day . ... When VV-29 had its 15 minutes of fame in May 2002, it appeared under the name "The Tadpole Galaxy," but based on the images above, we will always think of it as "The CHAINSAW"! ...
