We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the extended Groth strip (EGS) detected at 24 нјm using the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) and also with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We assemble optical/infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 45 X-ray/24 нјm sources in the EGS and LH. Only about one-quarter of the hard X-ray/24 нјm sources show pure type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) SEDs. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...

... The ROSAT Results Archive (RRA) is a publicly accessible collection of source lists, images, spectra, lightcurves and counting rates derived from pointed-phase observations of the ROSAT X-ray satellite observatory. ... This paper discusses the methods and tools used to screen ROSAT source results, and discusses ways in which the data will eventually be made accessible to the general astronomical community. ... Each field and source gets assigned a set of quality flags by these scripts: . ...

We present optical, ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) results for a new active late-type dwarf star discovered by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). A large flare with an energy in excess of 1E35 erg and duration of ~1.1 days was detected in the EUVE Lex/B band (60--200AA). ... The `quiescent' EUV emission of the source is similar to the most active flare stars with the `quiescent' optical spectrum showing strong H alpha, Ca II H Mg II h emission and Li I 6707.8A absorption. ...

... The source exhibits a mas-scale structure which, according to the USNO multi-epoch monitoring at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz over the period from 1994 July through 1998 April, undergoes considerable changes in the brightness distribution and positions of the major structural features. Our image is qualitatively consistent with the structural pattern of the source. ... We note a difference of ~90 in position angles of secondary components in our image and the 5 GHz VLBI image by Shen et al. 1998). ...

... All the parameters provided in this database have been obtained using the the MIRIAD ( Sault et al. 1995 ) task MBSPECT . MBSPECT makes a spectrum of the velocity (or frequency) axis of a cube. The spectrum is beam-weighted, over the width specified, for the other image axes. ... Robust parameters are calculated by using an algorithm which minimises the mean absolute deviation of the flux-weighted velocities. mask= This specifies the x-axis ranges to be excluded from any continuum fit. ...

Next: The Model Up: No Title Previous: Radiopulsars as Sources of . In this section, we study the evolution of stellar populations on a time-scale of 10 Myr for a starburst љ occurring under conditions similar to those in the Galactic Center (see Lipunov et al. (1995d)[ 126 ]). We estimate the expected number of X-ray transient љ sources (NS + MS star), super accreting BH, and BH + supergiant binaries, all as functions of time elapsed after the burst. ...
