The parameters of the model resulted from a numerical fitting of various data, such as the observed distribution of the young star population and neutral hydrogen, the density of population II stars in the vicinity of the Sun, the galactic rotation curve and the dynamics and distribution of globular clusters   and dwarf irregular satellites of the Galaxy. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... Empirical and theoretical modeling of 3-D structures in the solar corona is confronted by the tremendous amount of data needed to represent phenomena with a large dynamic range both in size and magnitude, and with a rapid temporal evolution. Octree representation of the 3-D coronal electron distribution offers the right compromise between resolution and size, allowing computation of synthetic images of the solar corona. ... The time interval between images is one day. ...

... Aims: Today, large ground-based instruments, like VISIR on the VLT, providing diffraction-limited (about 0.3 arcsec) images in the mid-infrared where strong PAH features appear enable us to see the flaring structure of the disks around Herbig Ae stars. Although great progress has been made in modelling the disk with radiative transfer models able to reproduce the spectral energy distribution (SED) of Herbig Ae stars, the constraints brought by images have not been yet fully exploited. ...

Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 32 , No. ... We report on a new episode of decretion disk formation in the IGR J06074+2205 system. ... From a study of three HeI lines, the rotational velocity of the star was determined as km/s. After five years of spectroscopic monitoring of IGR J06074+2205 (Reig et al. 2010), a reversion from emission to absorption of the H line and hence disappearance of the equatorial disk was reported. ...

Geometry of X-ray sources in accreting black-hole binaries Andrzej A. Zdziarski N. Copernicus Astronomical Center, Warsaw The structure of the X-ray sources in the hard spectral state of accreting black-hole binaries has been a subject of intense debate. The paradigm dominant for many years postulated that the accretion disc in the hard state is truncated at some radius >> the innermost stable orbit (ISCO) whereas the disc reaches the ISCO in the soft state. ...
