An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE PROCESS OF SCIENCE: HOW DO WE KNOW? The nature of the universe, its age, its birth and life story, have been deduced through the process of science. ... In the case of astronomy, it usually starts with making careful observations and measurements -- something your students can begin to do through inspection of astronomical images, and observation of the real sky. ...

... Study of Mg-Fe-silicate glasses of variable composition. ... With the new data, the astrophysical discussion started in Paper I was continued and focussed on the comparison of the olivine glass data with IRAS LRS spectra of O-rich circumstellar envelopes around Mira stars. ... The new olivine glasses point to the interesting consequence that the temperature for silicate dust grains at the inner edge of circumstellar envelopes must be considerably higher than the values often given in the literature....

The revision of the MASS/DIMM star catalogue N. Shatsky, V. Kornilov March 16, 2008 Abstract The compilation of the (updated) version of the MASS (MASS/DIMM) device target catalogue is described. ... Then the list was cleaned according to following criteria: I. Remove stars too faint for a MASS device. ... Here the color equation of the Sternb erg device was taken: M AS S mag = V mag + 0.45 (B - V ); stars with M AS S mag > 3.2 were removed. ... This was made based on the GCVS4.2 catalogue data. ...

... Because of the low conductivity, the magnetic coupling is weak and depends critically on density, temperature, ionisation rate and charged species. ... Implications When the Hall regime dominates near the midplane and ambipolar diffusion is dominant closer to the surface, a thicker layer of the disc is unstable to MRI perturbations and modes grow faster than under the ambipolar diffusion approximation. ... Right panel: For weak coupling, Hall limit perturbations grow until vA/cs ~ 2.9. ...

... Telescopes . ... 1995: . ... This sample proved to be the deepest one of all the analogous samples by the highest redshift estimates. ... More than 70% of dwarf galaxies from the sample were resolved into stars. ... Based on the results of optical and radio observations of a sample of 100 blue dwarf compact galaxies with the telescopes in the SAO RAS, France and USA the estimates of a total dynamic mass and the ratio of dark halo mass to the mass of the whole luminous matter were obtained. ...

... We show the analysis of low-hard and intermediate states of sources XTE J1550-564, H 1743-322, GX 339-4, XTE J1859-226, XTE J1650-500 and GRS 1915+105. ... Directly applying the scaling technique we also obtain that a ratio of the BH masses in XTE J1859-226 and in XTE J1550-564 is , and the corresponding ratio for XTE J1650-500 and XTE J1550-564 is . These values of scaling factors r implies that BH masses are ; solar masses in XTE J1859-226 and XTE J1650-500 respectively. ...
