Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...

We present a database of UV-to-FIR data of 83 nearby starburst galaxies. ... The NIR data are from new observations obtained at the NASA/IRTF and the Mount Laguna Observatory, combined with the published results from observations at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. ... In conjunction with IRAS and ISO FIR flux densities, all these data form a set of observed spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of the nuclear regions of nearby starburst galaxies. ...

Next: Radial velocity of the Up: Optical spectrum of IRAS04296 Previous: Observations and spectra reduction . ... However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

We present model fits to spectral energy distributions in the optical and NIR of >100 flat-spectrum radio quasars from the Parkes Half-Jansky Flat-spectrum Sample. We find that ~40% of the sources have power-law SEDs, while a similar number show evidence for two primary components: a blue power law and optical synchrotron emission. ... The sources with power law SEDs show evidence for an excess number of red power law slopes compared to optically-selected quasars. ...

Four low activity dM(e) stars Gl 105B, Gl 643, Gl 813 and Gl 821 were observed spectroscopically in the optical and ultraviolet regions. Despite relatively long integrations, only one of the four had detectable {\it Ca II K\ } emission, Gl 821, which had an observed flux of 9 10$^{-15}$ {\it erg cm}$^{-2}$ {\it s}$^{-1}$, giving a surface flux of only 0.8 10$^{4}$ {\it erg cm}$^{-2}$ {\it s}$^{-1}$. ...

... Abstract: We present Monte Carlo radiative transfer simulations for spiral galaxies modelled as a stellar disk and a two-phase clumpy dust distribution. ... As a general result, clumpy models are less opaque than the corresponding homogeneous models. ... 0.00 0.15 0.50 0.1 0.5 1.0 2.0 5.0 10.0 0.25 X . ... We have also produced several homogeneous models, to compare to the clumpy models. ... Homogeneous and clumpy models with the same tauV have the same dust mass. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

It is shown that in this very general framework the well established anti-correlation between variability amplitude and wavelength can only be understood as an effect of an underlying spectral component which remains stable on long time-scales, and is redder than the variable component. ...

We cannot observe the way the distant universe accelerates cosmic rays or produces energetic photons, but acceleration processes also occur on our Sun , though on a much more moderate scale. ... That is why such events are often missed by cosmic ray detectors near the equator, where the lowest energies are excluded by the Earth's magnetic field. ... Should we be concerned about solar energetic radiation? ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...
