Next: Spectral Extraction of Point Up: Spectral Analysis Previous: Structure of the Spectral . A pulse height distribution can be extracted from a QPOE file only if the event structure is `large', `region', or `full'. ... With the new RDF format files, the output from qpspec for most instruments is split into three files: . ... source off-axis histogram . ... background off-axis histogram . For Einstein IPC, there are no off-axis histogram files, but there is a BAL histogram file, _bal.tab. ...

Next: Structure of the Galaxy Up: Model of the Galaxy Previous: Model of the Galaxy . As discussed above (Section  6 ), galactic binary systems are assumed to be distributed logarithmically along their semi-major axis A (Abt and Levy, 1976[ 2 ]), . ... Figure 40: Number of binary stars per frequency decade. ... As the observed distribution of binary periods is flat (equation ( 15.3.1 )), the normalization constant is the total number of galactic binaries per frequency decade: . ...

Aims: We study the structure of the medium surrounding sites of high-mass star formation to determine the interrelation between the H ii regions and the environment from which they were formed. ... Methods: We present new Herschel/SPIRE 250 ЮМm, 350 ЮМm and 500 ЮМm data of LHA 120-N44 and LHA 120-N63 in the LMC. We construct average spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for annuli centered on the IR bright part of the star-formation sites. ... The source N44 does not show a systematic trend. ...

Next: Jets Up: M.D. Smith Previous: High-Mass Star Formation Contents . By contrast, stars of low mass like our Sun are formed within molecular clumps. Michael Smith has been investigating the clumps and the individual cores they contain within one nearby cloud near the star Rho Ophiuchi. With Stanke (Hawaii), Khanzadyan (Heidelberg) and Gredel (Calar Alto), he has determined the masses of over 100 protostellar cores and compared this to the distribution of masses for stars. ...

... Research . ... The aim of this project is to study the nearest spiral galaxies in the nearby Sculptor Group in neutral hydrogen with the ATCA to search for high-velocity clouds (HVCs) and extra-planar gas in their environment. ... The Sculptor Group is the nearest galaxy group. ... Therefore, we have mapped a large area of almost $2^{\circ} \times 2^{\circ}$ around the two nearest large Sculptor Group galaxies, NGC 55 and NGC 300, with the ATCA in mosaicking mode. ...
