K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

... Archive 2003: . From RATAN-600 observations with a matrix radiometer at a wavelength of 1 cm indications have been found of existence of relativistic electrons in the magnetosphere of Jupiter with energy of about 100 MeV, which demands revision of mechanisms of acceleration of cosmic rays of the solar wind with energy of a few MeV. ...

... Even future mission archives tend to concentrate more on what can be extracted out of a proposal or a Guaranteed Time Observation log than the actual extracted science out of the data itself. ... A year later the data is then publicly available. An archive researcher has then to go through a mass of data to find what may be useful without any indication as to what the actual observer's results were while using the data except the proposal, which in most cases is very general. ...

To locate it, look along the imaginary line between the two end stars on the leading edge of the PloughтАЩs blade (Merak and Dubhe) and Polaris (the North Star), the galaxy M82 (also known as the Cigar Galaxy) along with its companion M81, lies just off this line about a third of the way between the Plough and Polaris. €а€аAs usual, the supernova is far brighter than its home galaxy, appearing as an extra star. ...
