... The circumnuclear GASEOUS disks are often decoupled from the circumnuclear stellar disks and are even stronger inclined to the outer disk planes; in fact, we have found a considerable `population' of inner polar rings. Inner gas polar rings are found as in spiral galaxies with the massive outer gas disks co-planar to the main symmetry planes (e.g. NGC 2841, Sil'chenko et al. 1997, and NGC 7217, Sil'chenko & Afanasiev 2000) as well in many lenticular galaxies (Fig. ...

... Undaunted, and hopeful that our club's observatory at Washington Crossing State Park, Titusville, NJ enjoyed better conditions, I set off. A few minutes later I arrived at the park and met my fellow AAAP club members Brian Van Liew and Bill Murray already there and set up awaiting the sunrise. ... Mark Jaworsky Simpson Observatory (609) 737-2575 From the Editor As you see in the Masthead, a new club officer has been installed (Secretary, Mark Jaworsky) and we have started a new year of AAAP. ...

Received 2010 February 01; in original form 2009 August 14 ABSTRACT To compare photometric properties of galaxies at different redshifts, the fluxes need to be corrected for the changes of effective rest-frame wavelengths of filter bandpasses, called K -corrections. ...
