... 640W A survey of ultracompact (UC) Hii regions has been carried out by searching for 6.669-GHz methanol maser emission from a sample of 535 IRAS-selected candidates. A total of 201 candidates exhibit methanol emission. These sources have been used, in conjunction with previously identified UC Hii regions, to provide a base for further studies of such regions. ... Methanol maser and/or radio continuum emission is found in 364 cases towards IRAS-selected regions. ...

... At a spatial scale of 0."0287 per pixel these data provide an order of magnitude improvement in resolution over previous ground based spectra and allow us to trace the interaction between the radio jet and the gas in the NLR. ... Furthermore, the material enveloping the radio-jet is in a much higher ionization state than that of the surrounding NLR gas. ... 4 ) Dipartimento di Astronomia e Scienza dello Spazio Universit di Firenze, Largo E.

... The task calculates an average RMF over the spatial region used to extract the source spectrum. ... Essentially a grid is placed over the source region and the redistribution parameters calculated at each point. ... By means of command line parameters the averaging may be performed assuming that the flux distribution is that of the point spread function (PSF), a flat uniform distribution or it may be defined explicitly by supplying the task with an image containing the source region. ...

... 1994: . As a result of comparing the spectra of active solar regions from the observations with high spatial resolution in the microwave range at the RATAN-600 (the S-component) with a flare component observed at meter wavelengths on the VLA (USA) we revealed the presence of a strong and prolonged noise storm exactly where a weak decaying active region (with the presence of powerful active regions in the disk) is located. ...

... The project assumes creation of an international space observatory - the interferometer "Earth - Space - Space" in order to perform of astronomical investigations in millimeter, submillimeter and infrared regions with extremely high sensitivity (to a few nanoJanskies units of flux density in continuum spectrum) and extremely high angular resolution (to a parts of microsecond of arc or, possibly, nanosecond). ... radio-interferometric channels of the system "Space - Space", region 0.2 - 3 mm; . ...

... High spectral, spatial and temporal resolution UV observations of the quiet Sun transition region show a highly structured and dynamical environment where transient supersonic flows are commonly observed. ... Estimates of the kinetic and enthalpy fluxes associated with these events show that explosive events are not important so far as solar coronal heating is concerned. ... In some cases, non-Gaussian line profiles are associated with supersonic flows in small magnetic loops. ...
