... Time delay determinations in astrophysics are used most often to find time delays between flux density variations in different spectral bands and/or lines in AGNs, and different images of gravitationally lensed QSOs. ... OB used an idea to take into account the known gravitational lensing time delay to get combined radio and optical light curves and then to use them for determination of the possible radio-from-optical time delay. ... Correction for change of time delay and radio flux. ...

ARCSAT ID NUMBER: AS07 DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: Census of Variable stars in the UMi dwarf spheroidal galaxy. ... BRIEF SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION: The classical dwarf spheroidal galaxy Ursa Minor contains a large number of variable stars, particularly of the RR Lyrae and anomalous Cepheid types. ... The photometry will be done with DAOPHOT, much like the Nemec study, and the analysis of the RR Lyrae population will be similar to the work done with the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Kinemuchi et al. ...

... There are preliminary series of photometric and radio spectral observations of the above-mentioned stars, archival data on the light curves of the stars, results of the search for OH and H 2 O maser emission in IRAS point sources that possess the IR parameters similar to Miras. ... The aim is a detailed study of the maser emission variability. ... In 1996-1997, astronomical observations of Mira Ceti-type stars (miras) were carried out in three spectral ranges: optical, infrared, and radio. ...

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. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

... Its apparent diameter of 18.0 arc minutes corresponds to a linear extension of about 180 light years; Kenneth Glyn Jones mentions an estimate of even 20 arc minutes from deep photographic plates, corresponding to about 200 light years linear diameter.
