... Energy . ... Solar Wind . ... Field . ... The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...

... R-band images obtained at 0.8 arcsec seeing conditions have allowed us to separate foreground star from point-like extragalactic source and estimate their brightness separately. ... To study the nature and properties of the source, we observed it under high spatial resolution. ... CONCLUSION RTT150 optical observations with sub-arcsecond seeing and low resolution spectra confirm the hypothesis of superposition of a radio source onto a `normal' F/G galactic star proposed by [1]. ...

Equatorial coronal hole (top left), polar CH (top right), quiet Sun (bottom left) and quiet Sun with TCHs (bottom right) with the positions of all the corresponding identified brightening pixels over-plotted. ... We found that in comparison to the quiet Sun, the boundaries of coronal holes are abundant with brightening events including areas inside the coronal holes where closed magnetic field structures are present. ...

... The filter "Lighting Effects" is a freebie that came with this program, and in my opinion is practically worth the whole purchase price all by itself. ... You can select different light sources, and combine them with texture channels to warp your image. ... Depending on how you use it, pure white is the highest point on the image, and black the lowest. ... You can adjust the brightness and spread here, or choose other types of lighting. ... Use these if your image is turning out too dark or light. ...

... 172 ] Briefly, the count rate at the detector from a source at a redshift z is . ... Figure 55 shows the ``Green functions'' for the double compact binary merging rate   evolution assuming no collapse anisotropy. ... Another way that diverse peculiarities in the - distribution induced by the sources evolution could arise is connected with a possible non-monotonic character of the star formation rate in galaxies. ... 22 ] Figure  56 shows two-dimensional cuts through the parameter space. ...

This is possible if you do it in the following way, that is if you use the new continuation sign "&" at the end of the old line, but in position 73 so that it doesn't conflict with Fortran 77, and also choose the "&" sign as the almost arbitrary character in column 6, in order to get continuation according to Fortran 77. ... Comments are an incompatibility problem between Fortran 77 and Fortran 90, but of course not between fixed and free forms of Fortran 90 since the "!" is permitted in both. ...

... During observations of Sagittarius A* with the orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory, the bright X-ray source at the very center of our Milky Way brightened dramatically for a few minutes. ... Hot blue stars shine brightly in this beautiful, recently formed galactic or "open" star cluster. ... Moon AND Stars . ... Visible as the central dot is quasar 3C175, the active center of a galaxy so distant that the light we see from it was emitted when the Earth was just forming. 2dF Sees Waves of Galaxies . ...

... astro-ph . ... Statistical Characterization of the Chandra Source Catalog . ... The first release of the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) contains ~95,000 X-ray sources in a total area of ~0.75% of the entire sky, using data from ~3,900 separate ACIS observations of a multitude of different types of X-ray sources. ... In addition to these traditional catalog elements, for each X-ray source the CSC includes an extensive set of file-based data products that can be manipulated interactively. ...

... Impact on source motion in Galactic coordinate system is given by Kovalevsky (2003), Malkin (2011) l cos b = -A sin l, b = -A cos l sin b, where A = R0 02 /c is the galactocentric acceleration called hereafter the GA constant. ... We just have to return to the traditional many-centuries-old astrometric practice of modelling the position of a celestial object as a linear trend with two parameters: the position at the initial (conventional) epoch and the apparent (proper) motion. ... 2011). ...

... The overall globular cluster population is divided by gap in the metallicity function at [Fe/H]=-1.0 into two discrete groups with well-defined maxima at [Fe/H]=-1.60?0.03 dex, and -0.60?0.04 dex. ... Clusters with extremely blue horizontal branches occupy a spherical volume of radius ~ 9 kpc, have high rotational velocities ( V rot =77?33 km/s), have substantial and equal negative radial and vertical metallicity gradients, and are, on average, the oldest group (the old-halo subsystem). ...
