... We have observed and studied critical supercurrents, Ic, in cross-type Nb-Cu/Ni-Nb junctions with Josephson layers prepared from diluted ferromagnetic alloys. For suitable values of the exchange energy in the ferromagnet and the F-layer thickness we have observed Ic(T) oscillation with vanishing Ic for the definite values of T and dF. ... Critical supercurrents, Ic, in Nb-Cu(1-x)Ni(x)-Nb Josephson SFS junctions with F-layers prepared from ferromagnetic Cu(1-x)Ni(x) alloys have been studied. ...

Visual Discovery of SN 1996X in NGC 5061. ... It was not until the IAU Circular was issued that we found out there had been an independent amateur photographic discovery of this supernova by Kesao Takamizawa of Japan. ... Earlier in the week, 660 galaxies had been observed during two nights we had use of the 40 inch telescope at Siding Spring. ... The supernova in NGC 5061 was first seen with the smaller telescope about 10pm local time on Friday, April 12 (April 12.5 UT). ...

We characterize the dust in NGC 628 and NGC 6946, two nearby spiral galaxies in the KINGFISH sample. With data from 3.6 ÞÌm to 500 ÞÌm, dust models are strongly constrained. ... The dust models successfully reproduce the observed global and resolved spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The overall dust/H mass ratio is estimated to be 0.0082 ÒÁ 0.0017 for NGC 628, and 0.0063 ÒÁ 0.0009 for NGC 6946, consistent with what is expected for galaxies of near-solar metallicity. ...

Observation and modelling of main sequence star chromospheres. ... We compare our calculations to recent high res­ olution observations for selected stars in a narrow spectral range ((R­I) Ÿ =0.875\Sigma0.05); we show that Hff line profiles behave as expected, with a tight correlation be­ tween the line width and equivalent width. ... We show that the hydrogen series dominate the radiative cooling in the spectral lines (form 40% to 90%) for Hff emission line stars. ...

... The technique is based on the iterative subtraction of continuum estimates and eigenvector sky models derived from singular value decompositions of sky spectra and sky spectra residuals. ... The spectra may also be redshifted to a common radial velocity, though this feature isn't used for sky subtraction. svdvec is a Fortran program, called by IRAF as a foreign task, which decomposes an array of spectra, such as that created by svdprep , into eigenvectors using Singular Value Decomposition. ...
