... The numbers of three types of compact binaries containing accreting NSs and BHs, which are most interesting from the point of view of their observational appearances, have been calculated as a function of time: i) X-ray transient source containing a NS in an eccentric orbit around a main sequence Be-star (the observed prototype: A0535+26), ii) BH The evolution of the selected types of X-ray binaries during the first 10 million years after the starburst onset is presented in Fig. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) . To this aim, the two Landolt/Stetson photometric fields SA95 and SA101 will be observed on a number of epochs and at different airmasses during February and March 2007. ... SA101 . ... OBs for SA101 have to be observed during evenigh twilight (exceptions are expected for the second half of March) . ...

We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. ... The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. ... In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. ...

... This represents the first HI selected sample covering the core and the outskirts of a local cluster of galaxies. ... Optically selected samples miss a considerable number of low luminosity, low surface brightness galaxies underestimating by almost a factor 2 the number of HI rich galaxies present in the cluster volume. ... Right: The g band luminosity function for galaxies in the A1367 volume as obtained from the optically (circles) and HI (histogram) selected sample. ...

... Tidal influence on each of the galaxies in our sample is quantified by identifying and measuring the distance to the nearest companion, using a photometric technique with good completeness characteristics. ... Massnormalised starformation rates were derived using galaxy stellar masses estimated from zband luminosities Nearest companions were identified using the algorithm illustrated in Figure 1. ... Some of the lowredshift galaxies in our sample with close companions are illustrated in Figure 3. ...

... What's a Population . ... It varies, ecologists use the word "population" in several ways; typically a "somewhat isolated collection of individuals." ... There are two "basic models" of population growth. Exponential growth, and logistic growth. ... In logistic growth there are "density-dependent" changes in growth rate that REGULATE population growth. ... The exponential and logistic models treat all individuals in a population the same; but we know that baby's don't reproduce but adults do! ...

Next: The APM selected sample Up: Second priority candidates Previous: Second priority candidates . From the random selected subsample of second priority candidates we observed twenty six objects during the 6-m telescope runs (mainly those with R.A.< 11 h ) along with the observations of first priority targets. Altogether we found 12 emission-line objects: one appeared to be a QSO with z =3.15, and the rest are various types of ELGs. ... One object is an absorption-line galaxy. ...

... Within SAS, a tool is available to check the pile-up fraction in the pn data: epatplot . This tool compares the observed pattern distributions (derived from a pn calibrated and concatenated even list) with the calibrated models. ... The lower panel is the key element for the evaluation of the pile-up fraction: it shows the observed distribution of pattern as a function of energy (PI channel in Analog-Digital Units ), using the same color code. ...

This could be interpreted as a continuous distribution with statistically insignificant deviations which give the appearance of gaps or a real gap. ... When the distributions of periods greater five days are compared for the ONC stars and those near Orionis the KS test gives a 47% probability of these distributions being drawn from the same population. ...

... 2006 March 6 . Unexpected Comet Pojmanski Now Visible . ... Explanation: Have you ever seen a comet? ... Comet Pojmanski , officially designated C/2006 A1 and discovered only in January, now sports a turquoise tail several times longer than the full moon. Comet Pojmanski 's ion tail is due to gas particles expelled by the comet being pushed away from the Sun by the solar wind , the same wind that ionizes gas in the tail causing its blue tint. ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

Such definition means that our statistics for the number of expected BH X-ray binaries include both transient and persistent systems. ... If this value is 2 M , then, according to our calculations, Galaxy contains some 15 000 to 40 000 of BH X-ray binaries (and some 30 000 to 250 000 of NS X-ray binaries). ...
