The silicates that produce the 10 and 18 micron features appear to be broadly similar to terrestrial minerals such as Forsterite and Enstatite. ... Where pre-solar silicate dust grains can be isolated from meteorite material, these also tend to be Mg-rich silicates rather than Fe-rich silicates. ... It has been suggested that the interstellar silicate grains have a different 10 micron feature profile than what is observed for the silicates around evolved stars. ...

... They have recently found a weird star that is about 25 times heavier than our Sun and spinning more than 300 times more quickly it spins faster than any other known heavyweight star! ... If the two stars were very close together, the star could have been made to spin more quickly by gaining some extra material from its companion star like a power-boosting snack! However, the fast-spinning star no longer has a companion, so what happened to the other star? ...

Astronomers examining the properties of black hole jets compared 54 gamma-ray bursts with 234 active galaxies classified as blazars and quasars. Surprisingly, the power and brightness of the jets share striking similarities despite a wide range of black hole mass, age, and environment. Regardless of these differences, the jets produce light by tapping into similar percentages of the kinetic energy of particles moving along the jet, suggesting a common underlying physical cause. ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...
