... The Thickness of Stellar Disks in Early-type Galaxies E. M. Chudakova* and O. K. Sil'chenko ** Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia Received August 19, 2013; in final form, October 30, 2013 Abstract--We suggest and justify a new photometric method enabling the derivation of the relative thickness of a galactic disk from the two-dimensional surface-brightness distribution of the galaxy in the plane of the sky. ... The galaxies are non-interacting. ...

THE KAIDUN METEORITE: WHERE DID IT COME FROM? ... The formation of the subalkaline and alkaline clasts of the Kaidun meteorite, apparently also requires deep differentiation of material in a fairly large parent body. ... These differences in structure of two genetically linked clasts, due to the different encounter speeds of the clasts with the parent body of Kaidun, obviously indicate that these two events were separated in time. ...
