... This is an image from a sequence I'm rendering at the moment, most of the movies are by products of my work, movies of planets forming, or being destroyed or whatever I'm currently working on. ... Of course there's no real way to tell if the frame is just taking a long time to render or whether I just don't have anything running so this is hardly the most interesting 'Live' sites in the world, if you wan't real life then you can get your kicks watching Jennicam .. ...

... Optical photometric data were taken of fields encompassing all these sources during a total of seven telescope runs. ... The initial goal of the photometric observations is to follow up the X--ray sources, assign them colors in a standard system, so that the observed objects can be placed on a color--magnitude diagram. This can be used to verify that the X--ray sources are indeed PMS stars. ... Aperture photometry was performed using the APPHOT package in IRAF. ...

The classical Brauer-Siegel theorem states that if $k$ runs through the sequence of normal extensions of $\mathbb{Q}$ such that $n_k/\log|D_k|\to 0,$ then $\log h_k R_k/\log \sqrt{|D_k|}\to 1.$ In this talk we will give a brief survey of what is known about the generalizations of this theorem. ... Third, we will dwell on the higher dimensional analogues of the Brauer-Siegel theorem both in the number field and in the function field cases giving an overview of known results and open problems. ...
