Abstract -- Calculations are performed for the circular polarization of maser radiation from a turbulent, Keplerian disk that is intended to represent the sub-parsec disk at the nucleus of the galaxy NGC4258. ... This turbulence, along with the Keplerian velocity gradients and the blending of the three hyperfine components to form the 6 16 --5 32 masing transition of water, are key ingredients in determining the appearance of the polarized spectra that are calculated. ...

The program creates session schedules, supports selection of specific regions for observation and automatic filtration of satellite passes over the selected regions. ...

... The author attempts to approach the problem from the positions of systems analysis with account for the ideological grounds and history of space activities in Russia and abroad, comparing its current interpretation with the initial goals posed by leading theoreticians and practitioners who stood at the cradle of the space exploration era. ...

... Three energetic mechanisms are considered: multiple supernova explosions (SNe), a hypernova explosion associated with a gamma ray burst (GRB), and the vertical impact of a high velocity cloud (HVC). ... As a consequence, multiple SNe form rings with a high ring-to-center contrast K < 100 in the HI column density, whereas single hypernova explosions form rings with K < 10. ... Our simulations show (see Fig. 6) that both multiple SNe and single hypernovae may form rings of up to 2 kpc in diameter. ...
