We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. ... In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. ...

The idea of component-oriented programming is that in the course of implementation of various software projects a programmer (or a programmers team) accumulates a library of reused software fragments that are used in different projects. ... To solve such problems there are some special syntax means in Actor Prolog that support component-oriented programming. ... A package in Actor Prolog is a set of classes linked by implication. ... Actor Prolog supports visual component-oriented programming. ...

This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...

... In collaborative work with David Garc?a Alvarez (an Observatory PhD student now at Harvard) and John Butler, an extensive study of the RS CVn binary HR1099 was completed leading to two papers; the first on Doppler imaging and the second on flare activity.

MODELLING OF SPECTRA OF GRB HOST GALAXIES A. Moskvitin, E.Sonbas The method of estimation of internal extinction, mass and age of host galaxies is demonstrated for three galaxies: GRB 980703, GRB 000210 and GRB 060218. The method of two-component modeling was applied: the theoretical spectrum is the sum of the spectrum of the burst component and the spectrum of the old stellar population which determines the galaxy age. ... In other galaxies the internal extinction turned out to be low. ...
