... Recent studies indicate that stars are most likely forming within the binary and multiple systems. ... During several years we are conducting the observations of such multiple stellar systems at the BTA telescope in order to find their companions and study the properties therein. ... This star is interesting in that it may be a dynamically unstable multiple star, meaning that over time, such systems will split into individual stars. ... A bright component is a very tight spectroscopic binary star. ...

... All the galaxies are divided into 4 groups depending on the environment type; every subsample contains more than 10 galaxies. ... An effect of environments is seen both for the nuclei and for the bulges: if we consider the clusters (Virgo and Ursa Ma jor) and group centers as dense environments and the field and group periphery as sparse environments, then in the dense environments the stellar populations of S0s are in average older by 4­5 Gyr than in the sparse ones. ...

... Properties of Dust Grains in Planetary Nebulae - I. The Ionized Region of NGC 6445 . ... Based on this model, we show from depletions in the gas phase elements that little grain destruction can have occurred in the ionized region of NGC 6445. ... The most likely conclusion is that grains are residing inside the ionized region of NGC 6445 and that the low temperature and flux of the grain emission are caused by the low luminosity of the central star and the low optical depth of the grains. ...

An atom is the smallest "piece" of an element that still has the properties of that element. For example, an atom of gold is the smallest piece of gold that still acts like gold ? ... When many atoms come together, atoms tend to form molecules. A molecule is a combination of two or more atoms bonded together. For example, a molecule of water (designated by the symbol H 2 O) consists of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom which are in a "relationship" ? ...
