... ACTIVE GALAXIES NEWSLETTER Dear all, In the following e-mail message I will send the first edition of the Active Galaxies Newsletter. This newsletter has been formed following the success of similar publications such as the Star Formation Newsletter and AGB Newsletter. ... Also thanks to Bo Reipurth for his LaTex macros. ... Following the first edition of the newsletter will follow the LaTeX template for abstract submissions. It is VERY simple and requires no knowledge of LaTeX to fill out. ...

... The DD tag element specifies a term definition, and follows one or more DT elements. ... CLASS . ... The CLASS attribute is most commonly used to attach a different style to some element, but it is recommended that where practical class names should be picked on the basis of the element's semantics, as this will permit other uses, such as restricting search through documents by matching on element class names. ... CLEAR . ... The CLEAR attribute allows you to move down unconditionally: . ...

... The Drake Equation: Adding a METI Factor . ... METI (Messaging to Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is an activity, which I believe to be an inherent attribute of advanced civilizations. In order to account for the true prevalence of communicative civilizations (that is, those that engage in METI), I suggest we introduce a METI factor f m into the classical Drake Equation . ... f p = The fraction of those stars with planetary systems . ... Then the METI factor f m should be quite small, about 0.01. ...

... September 02, 2009 - Solar activity hits a new low . The Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of 'hibernation'. ... Astrophysicists had to wait almost two months for this event: the group of sunspots occupying the last line of the catalogue (number 1024), vanished from the solar disk on 11 July this year. ... Solar activity hits a new low . ...

However others are less pessimistic and it has even been claimed that the mysterious ?Wow! signal? received in 1977 originated from the direction M55.б  Sadly, this still unexplained pulse of radio energy originated from a location rather to the northwest of M55 so I doubt if the source was this cluster (if indeed the signal was genuinely of extraterrestrial origin). ... Mysterious Wow! ...

The database contains references to the papers, data files and links to the Internet resources related to measurements and calculations of the optical constants in the wavelength interval from X-rays to radio domain. ... References to some useful books and reviews on the subject (e.g. the classical handbooks edited by E.D.Palik) and links to Internet collections of optical constants and personal WWW pages with related software were also placed in the database. You have arrived at our welcome page. ...
