... 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. ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...

... For a semple of red giants comprising about 2000 stars, the distributions of metallicity [Fe/H] are given. ... The center of the distributions of giants in both galactic poles is found to demonstate a statisticaly significant gap similar to the one found earlier for the late main-sequence stars. The implications of the metallicity distribution properties for the problems of the chemical evolution of the galactic disk are discussed. ...

What is a Handler . ... mod_actions . ... A "handler" is an internal Apache representation of the action to be performed when a file is called. Generally, files have implicit handlers, based on the file type. Normally, all files are simply served by the server, but certain file types are "handled" separately. Apache 1.1 adds the ability to use handlers explicitly. ... The following directives will enable the send-as-is handler, which is used for files which contain their own HTTP headers. ...
