... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

Microsymposium 34, MS058, 2001 ANOMALIES OF THE MOON'S THERMAL EMISSION IN THE IR SPECTRAL RANGE (10.5 - 12.5 micron). ... Sternberg State Astronomical Institute, Moscow, 119899, Russia, pugach@sai.msu.ru Summary: New satellite measurements of the lunar-surface radiation temperature were used to construct the spatial angular function of thermal radiation of the Moon in the infrared (10.5-12.5 micron) spectral range. ... These thermal anomalies are observed only in the limited range of phase angles. ...

Atmospheric Discharge in the Tunguska Disaster . ... Based on the fact that an explosion of the Tinguska cosmic body, which caused trees to fall over a wide area, and radiant energy release during the Tunguska disaster were separated in space and in time, it is proposed that these events are interrelated but of different origin. We propose that the emission during the Tunguska disaster was caused by an atmospheric discharge at altitudes of 10-90 km above the Earth's surface. ...
