... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... Open symbols refer to data available in the literature. ... The best-fit lines correspond to the exponential-linear relation discussed in Sect. ... We present a new extensive analysis of the old problem of finding a satisfactory calibra- tion of the relation between the geometric albedo and some measurable polarization properties of the asteroids. To achieve our goals, we use all polarimetric data at our disposal. ...

... Natalya V. Raguzova and Sergei B. Popov . ... We present a compilative catalogue of Be/X-ray binaries and candidates in the Galaxy and in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This catalogue contains 160 sources and provides information on names and spectral types of optical components, distances, on spin characteristics of neutron stars, and on orbital and X-ray properties of binary systems. ... Be/X-Ray Binaries and candidates in the Galaxy . Galactic sources: comments to the Table 1 . ...

. The model updating technique used in the Maximum Entropy Method (MEM) task for image restoration in IRAF/STSDAS is described in detail. The properties of the method, including faster convergence in iteration and reduced nonlinearity of the solution in photometry, are discussed and shown by statistics and illustrations. Pages 58-63 .

Next: Survey Methods Up: THE DEEP X-RAY RADIO Previous: THE DEEP X-RAY RADIO . Blazars are the most extreme variety of AGN known. ... The beaming hypothesis has been successful in reproducing the luminosity function of samples of blazars (e.g., Padovani & Urry 1990, 1991, 1992; Urry, Padovani & Stickel 1991), allowing the derivation of class properties such as the range of Lorentz factors and opening angles in the radio band (and also in other bands for BL Lacs). ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...
