. To display the state of any background jobs that you are currently running use the job command. For example: jobs [1] + Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - Running xterm -g 90x55 . This displays the job number, its state and the command associated with this job. To display the process number use the -l option. For example: jobs -l [1] + 3584 Running xterm -g 90x55 [2] - 3587 Running xterm -g 90x55 .

... Research . ... A rare hybrid morphology radio galaxy . ... In this project we will be able to investigate the environmental effect on star formation and galaxy evolution in individual galaxies falling into the cluster through radio observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Current models of galaxy evolution regulate the star formation rates within the simulated galaxies by invoking radio-mode feedback from AGN. ... Julie.Banfield@anu.edu.au . ...

The X-ray background Xavier Barcons Instituto de Fsica de Cantabria (CSIC-UC), Spain The cosmic X-ray background (XRB) above photon energies of  2 keV is known to be of extragalactic origin. ... Large-scale structure in the Universe at these redshifts produces excess spatial uctuations in the XRB, which could be measured by future missions. ... The sensitivity for the measurement of such a quantity is well within reach of proposed or planned all-sky survey X-ray missions. ...

... Energy . ... Solar Wind . ... Field . ... 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. For some reason the field slows down the flow of heat from the Sun's interior and keeps sunspots slightly cooler than their surroundings. ... Solar Eclipses . ...

... International astronauts are those individuals from international space agencies who have trained or served with NASA Astronauts. Astronaut assignments and category definitions (e.g., "active" astronauts, "management" astronauts) are contained in a separate Flight Operations Directorate (FOD) policy letter. Former astronauts are those who are no longer employed by their agency. Active and Management International Astronauts . Astronaut . ... Former International Astronauts . ...

http://hubblesite.org/newscenter/archive/releases/1996/22/text/ Probing the mysterious heart of the Crab Nebula, the tattered remains of a stellar cataclysm witnessed more than 900 years ago, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have found that the Crab is even more dynamic than previously understood, based on a cosmic "movie" assembled from a series of Hubble observations. ... Because of this flickering, the neutron star is also called a "pulsar." ...

... Ultraviolet photons have short wavelength and high energy and thus come from sources which have fairly high temperatures. ... Star formation regions in nearby galaxies . Star formation regions in our own galaxy . ... In addition, the background glow of the night sky is at a minimum level at around 2000 angstroms. ... It is hoped that these very diffuse galaxies can be more easily imaged at a wavelength where the noise from a background of finite brightness is at its minimum. ...

... Over the first 4 years, its X-ray telescopes eROSITA and ART-XC will survey the whole sky with a record sensitivity in the 0.5-10 keV energy band. ...

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. ...
