... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

Properties of the Solar Eruptive Event of 19 October 2001, 09:40 UT . ... 1) IZMIRAN, Troitsk, Moscow Region, 142190 . ... Basing on IZMIRAN and NIRFI radio observations, we analyze an event which is characterized by sufficiently intense emission in the cm- and dm-ranges under almost total lack of metric bursts. This peculiarity appears to be caused by very slow speed (V~240 km/s) of a coronal mass ejection (CME) recorded in this event with SOHO/LASCO. ... Coronal Mass Ejections . ...

... This talk will present discoveries of new transiting planets and low mass stars, and the characterisation of their fundamental properties: mass, radius, temperature, and composition. ... The planets discovered by HATSouth orbit a diverse range of host stars, and the candidates identified have a wide range of orbital periods. ... These observations represent some of the highest precision near-infrared time-series photometry performed from the ground, and probe a diverse range of planet atmospheres. ...

... 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. ...

This form calculates which transits of the 1039 known transiting exoplanets are observable from a given location at a given time. Specify a time window, an observing location (either an observatory from the list or choose "Enter latitude/longitude" at the end of the list), and optionally any filters (e.g. minimum transit depth or elevation). The output includes transit time and elevation, and links to further information about each object, including finding charts and airmass plots. ...
