Next: Acknowledgements Up: Evolution of the double Previous: Effect of sources evolution . 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 will be confirmed, the - and test could be used to independently estimating the cosmological parameters and tracing star formation history in galaxies. ...

Observed maximum rotation velocity uncorrected for inclination effect. This quantity is calculated from 21-cm line widths at different levels and/or rotation curves (generally in H_alpha). ... These data are characterized by some secondary parameters: telescope, velocity resolution, level of the 21-cm line width and bibliographic reference. ... we start from a standard sample (a set of measurements giving a large and homogeneous sample). ... HyperLeda . ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

The model reproduces all the basic . ... investigations of the star formation history. ... the galaxyЫand incorporating a delay in the onset of star formation make it possible to model different scenar- . ios for the evolution of a galaxy's luminosity. ... evolution of massive galaxies. ... of reconstructing the star-formation history and galactic luminosity from observations of galaxies at different . ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... The Astronomical Society of the Pacific (ASP) presented Priscilla and Bart Bok Awards to two high School Seniors at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair held May 10 to 15 in Reno this year. ... The Bok prize is named for Bart and Priscilla Bok. ... About 10 years ago, at the suggestion of the American Astronomical Society, the activities supported by the Bok Fund were expanded to include the joint sponsorship of an astronomy award at Intel Science and Education Fair. ...

The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...

THE PARAMETERS INVOLVED IN HAPKE'S MODEL FOR ESTIMATION OF THE COMPOSITION OF THE EJECTA LUNAR TERRAINS. ... In the previous papers we were estimated the surface roughness of the ejecta lunar terrains by means comparison of the local phase function and the average integrated lunar indicatrix. ...
