Reconstructing images of gravitational lenses with regularizing algorithms

E. Koptelova, E. Shimanovskaya, B. Artamonov +3

This note addresses possible applications of the Tikhonov regularization to image reconstruction of gravitational lens systems. Several modifications of the regularization algorith…

Radioquiet isolated neutron stars: old and young, nearby and far away, dim and very dim

S. B. Popov, A. Treves, R. Turolla

We briefly discuss the evolutionary path and observational appearance of isolated neutron stars (INSs) focusing on radioquiet objects. There are many reasons to believe that these…

Self-Induced Formaton of Metal-Rich Globulars in Bulges?

Valery V. Kravtsov

Taken together, key latest observations assume that (i) old metal-rich globular cluster populations (MRGCPs) in bulges were able to form due to essentially increased, self(internal…

The spectrum of the roAp star HD 101065(Przybylski's star) in the Li I 6708 A spectral region

A. V. Shavrina, N. S. Polosukhina, Ya. V. Pavlenko +8

We carried out a detailed analysis of spectra of the unique roAp star HD 101065 (Przybylski's star) near the resonance doublet Li I 6708 A, using a most complete line list includin…

Stellar black hole mass function: determination and possible implications for fundamental gravity

Konstantin Postnov

We discuss masses of stellar black holes found in binary systems and errors in their determination. The observed mass distribution has a broad shape within the range …

Formation of the Galactic Halo

Ortwin Gerhard

Recent observational and theoretical work suggests that the formation of the Galactic stellar halo involved both dissipative processes and the accretion of subfragments. With prese…

Disc-jet coupling in an atoll-type neutron star X-ray binary: 4U 1728-34 (GX 354-0)

Simone Migliari, Rob Fender, Michael Rupen +4

We have analysed 12 simultaneous radio (VLA) and X-ray (RXTE) observations of the atoll-type X-ray binary 4U 1728-34, performed in two blocks in 2000 and 2001. We have found that t…

Discovery of the eclipse in the symbiotic binary Z Andromedae

A. Skopal

Our photometric observations of the symbiotic binary Z And during its recent (2000 -- 2003) active phase revealed a minimum in the U, B and V light curves (LC) at the position of t…

Formation and Evolution of Compact Stellar X-ray Sources

Thomas M. Tauris, Ed van den Heuvel

In this chapter we review the formation and evolution of compact binaries with neutron star and/or black hole components (i.e. LMXBs, HMXBs, binary pulsars). After an introduction…

In the Kitchen of Dust Modeling

N. V. Voshchinnikov

Dust grains have been detected in various astronomical objects. Interpretation of observations of dusty objects includes three components: 1) determination of the materials which c…

The SED in the hot continuum of the symbiotic binary AR Pavonis. I. Tests with the current models

A. Skopal

We present the spectral energy distribution (SED) in the continuum of the eclipsing symbiotic binary AR Pav between 0.12 and 3.4 microns. This revealed a high luminosity of the hot…

Investigation of the obscuring circumnuclear torus in the active galaxy Mrk231

Hans-Rainer Kl"ockner, Willem A. Baan, Michael A. Garrett

Here we report on observations of powerful hydroxyl (OH) line emissions that trace the obscuring material within the circumnuclear environment of the galaxy Markarian 231. The hydr…
