... The dependence of velocity ellipsoid parameters for various types stars upon theirage was investigated. ... For metal-rich stars ([Fe/H] -0.1) the shape of velocity ellipsoid becomes more spherical with increasing age of the stellar group and it approaches the equilibrium shape. ... По данным uvby -фотометрии, изохронным возрастам и собственным движениям ~3500 F -звезд диска в окрестности 80 пс от Солнца исследованы зависимости параметров эллипсоидов скоростей различных звезд от возраста. ...

... Ionization Properties of the Dusty Mesosphere . Boris A. Klumov, Sergey I.Popel Institute for Dynamics of Geopsheres, Russia . ... The problem of influence of the dynamics and charging of dust particles on the ionization properties of the polar summer mesosphere is considered. ... We introduce the notion "dusty mesosphere" for the layer of the mesosphere at the altitudes of approximately 80-90 km, where the conditions for the nucleation and formation of macro (dust) particles are fulfilled. ...

... New technique measures mass of exoplanets . ... Now, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique for determining the mass of exoplanets using only their transmission spectra dips in light as a planet passes in front of its star. ... To determine the mass of an exoplanet using transmission spectroscopy, de Wit relied on the effect that a planet s mass has on its atmosphere, as transmission spectra give information on a planet s atmospheric properties. ...

The main task of the multimedia lectures "Life of the Earth in the Solar Atmosphere" is to introduce wide range of users to the basic physical characteristics of the Earth, the near-Earth space and the Sun, which mainly forms the properties of the mentioned objects and is responsible for their variations (so-called "space weather"). ...

FOURIER PARAMETERS AND MOMENTS POLARIZATION PROFILES OF MAGNETICALLY LINES. ... A new method is proposed to determine all components of the solar magnetic fields using the cumulants of the profile of a magnetic sensitive line. The method is based on polarization measurements in a number of points of the line profile and subsequent calculation of the amplitudes and phases of its two first Fourier-harmonics. ... Use these to find two or three first cumulants of the line profile. ...

... Spectra obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS are used along with archival data from Spitzer and several ground-based telescopes to infer a strength of PAH emission, age, properties of the UV radiation field, and metallicity of studied HII complexes. Physical properties (age, radiation field parameters, metallicity) are related to the F 8 /F 24 ratio used as a proxy for the PAH abundance in order to reveal factors that may influence the PAH evolution in HII complexes. ...

... Parameters of the Moon-perturbed orbit . ... From orbits consistent with this limitation and with the date of the launch October 1, 2000 as an example, an orbit was selected with apogee directed to the North Galactic pole at the begining and rotation of orbit plane was maximized. The initial state vector is given in the inertial coordinate system in epoch J2000.0. ... The orbit has initial perigee radius Rp=7000.0 km, initial apogee radius Ra=343000.0 km and initial period T=8.453 days. ...
