In this acrylic painting, University of Utah astrophysicist Ben Bromley envisions the view of a double sunset from an uninhabited Earthlike planet orbiting a pair of binary stars. In a new study, Bromley and Scott Kenyon of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory performed mathematical analysis and simulations showing that it is possible for a rocky planet to form around binary stars, like Luke Skywalker s home planet Tatooine in the Star Wars films. ...

USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ... We show below some preliminary results from this analysis. ...

... Magnesium-aluminium spinel (MgAl O ) has been considered as a primary condensate in the outflows of oxygen-rich AGB stars and as a potential carrier of the 13 m emission band observed in the spectra of these stars [ 11 ]. Therefore, in the Jena laboratory, a systematic study of the infrared properties of Mg-Al oxides of both synthetic and natural origin was performed in order to derive the optical constants of these materials. ...
