... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . Nearly 50 years ago, Dr David Andrews , a former Astronomer at the Armagh Observatory, discovered a new minor planet or asteroid. It was discovered on the night of 25th January 1965, and the object eventually received an official number (1727) and the name "Mette" , named by the discoverer in honour of his wife, "for her tolerance of my nocturnal working hours and for the many months spent away from home". ...

... SAO researchers have discovered that supercritical accretion disks eject hot gas with a velocity of a few thousand kilometers per second. The supercritical regime of accretion onto black holes is very important for astrophysics. In the first half-billion years just after our Universe was born, supermassive black holes (quasars) began to appear and grow in centers of young galaxies. ... Gas falling onto a black hole (accretion) is not a frequent phenomenon in our Galaxy. ...

Describes how spatial region boundaries are handled. The golden rule for spatial region filtering was first enunciated by Leon VanSpeybroeck in 1986: . ... With this in mind, the rules for determining whether a boundary image pixel or table row are assigned to a region are defined below. For image filtering, pixels whose center is inside the boundary are included. ... That is, an row is inside the boundary without regard to its integerized pixel value. ...

... The necessity of simultaneous access to one communication channel by many users, e.g., in satellite communication systems or cellular telephony, has led to the development of the corresponding standards: FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) and TDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access). ... There is a number of ideas for chaotic signal applications in multiple-access systems, but as a rule, chaotic signals are used there only as efficient and versatile means of quasi-noise signal formation. ...

. The image is a composite of separate exposures made by the WFC3 instrument on the Hubble Space Telescope. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges in the near infrared. The color results from assigning different hues (colors) to each monochromatic image. In this case, the assigned colors are: F105W (Y) blue; F125W (J) green; F160W (H) red. NASA/ESA/G. Illingworth/R.
