Astronomers at Armagh Observatory and Cardiff University have independently discovered new mechanisms by which micro-organisms may have spread throughout the Galaxy. Scientific papers on the topic by Professor Bill Napier at Armagh, and by Dr Max Wallis and Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe at Cardiff University, will appear simultaneously in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society . ... Cardiff scientists Max Wallis and Chandra Wickramasinghe have identified another delivery route. ...

... Supernova explosion   in a binary is treated as an instantaneous mass loss of the exploding star. ... In this case, the eccentricity and semi-major axis of the binary after the explosion can be straightforwardly calculated (Boersma, 1961[ 21 ]). ... Then, the transition to a new system barycenter frame is made (at this point the spatial velocity of the new center of mass of the binary is computed), . ... During the CE stage, an effective spiral-in   of the binary components occurs. ...

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope Technical Note 19970728 Edward J. Mannery and Walter Siegmund . ... Common corrector mount inspection . ... The corrector nearest the secondary mirror, the common corrector (so named because it is common to both imaging and spectroscopic configuations) is located with respect to the telescope optics support structure by the common corrector mount. ... The fused silica common corrector is 32.5 inches in diameter and is 0.47 inches thick. ...

In 2001, Westerbork observations of the disturbed galaxy named VV-29 (alias Arp-188, UGC-10214) showed that there is second smaller galaxy (named VV-29c) that appears behind the western side of the main body of the distorted galaxy. ... The galaxy was featured as the May 2, 2002 Astronomy Picture of the Day . ... When VV-29 had its 15 minutes of fame in May 2002, it appeared under the name "The Tadpole Galaxy," but based on the images above, we will always think of it as "The CHAINSAW"! ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....

We show some examples of di erent galaxy morphologies and galaxy environments of RC USS ob jects. ... 1999. ... The absolute magnitude is MR =,20.7, which suggests that the ob ject is slightly fainter than a typical FRI radio galaxy e.g. Colina & De Juan, 1995. ...

These images were processed by incorporating Ha, SII, and RGB data, taken over several nights during May of 2007. ... 5/4/2007 through 5/9/2007 . ... The RGB was processed traditionally, and incorporated into the Ha/sG/SII image in two steps: The main RGB nebulosity was incorporated at a fairly low opacity, while the RGB stars were incorporated in at 100%, in "color" blend mode. ...

... Our Sun is part of a huge wheel-shaped collection of stars. ... Astronomers have long suspected it was a very massive black hole, and that every galaxy had such a central mass, created early in the history of the universe. ... However, unless that object happens to be headed directly at the black hole (a relatively small target) it will just swing around and fly away again, like a comet making a pass at the Sun. The velocity acquired in falling towards the black hole also helps it escape. ...

THE ARGUMENT AGAINST LONG EXTRAGALACTIC DISTANCE SCALE Gaseous discs of S0 -- Sd galaxies appears to be gravitationally stable or close to stability. Dependence of the gravitational stability parameter of gaseous disc $M_g/M_c$ upon the color index $(B-V)^0_T$ which reflects a relative number of young stars, is found. Here $M_g$ is total mass of gas in a galaxy, $M_c$ - mass of gas which corresponds to marginal stability of gaseous disc at distances from center. ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Estimation of masses of some minor planets from observations of perturbed bodies O. M. Kochetova Institute of Applied Astronomy, St. Petersburg, Russia The most straightforward method of mass determination of minor planets is the dynamical one which uses the gravitational perturbations produced by minor planet in the motion of other bodies. ... The values of the masses of minor planets (15), (29) and (65) appear to be rather close in both papers. ...

... In the 1800s it was already evident that the Earth's magnetic field was involved: auroral rays seemed to follow the Earth's magnetic field lines, and the frequency with which aurora was observed depended on the distance from the magnetic pole, not from the geographic one. ... That is the beginning of the ionosphere , a layer with enough free electrons (and ions) to play an important role in radio communications. ... The simplest atom is the one of hydrogen, with just one electron. ...
