Third General Catalogue of MK Spectral Classifications

Towards a General Theory of Classifications

If you really want to be smarter, reading can be one of the lots ways to evoke and realize. Many people who like reading will have more knowledge and experiences. Reading can be a way to gain information from economics, politics, science, fiction, literature, religion, and many others. As one of the part of book categories, towards a general theory of classifications always becomes the most wan...

The updated spectral catalogue of INTEGRAL Gamma–Ray Bursts

We present a catalogue with the properties of all the bursts detected and localized by the IBIS instrument onboard the INTEGRAL satellite from November 2002 to September 2008. The sample is composed of 56 bursts, corresponding to a rate of ∼ 0.8 GRB per month. Thanks to the performances of the INTEGRAL Burst Alert System, 50% of the IBIS GRBs have detected afterglows, while 5% have redshift mea...

General Assembly, Third Committee

The scale of maternal mortality dwarfs the number of ‘disappearances’ and death penalty cases. Yet ‘disappearances’ and death penalty cases attract much more attention from the human rights community than preventable maternal mortality. ‘Disappearances’, for example, have a UN human rights ‘special procedure’, as well as international and regional human rights treaties. And so they should. ‘Dis...

A general catalogue of 6.7-GHz methanol masers

Methanol masers are often detected in regions of intense star formation. Several studies in the last decade indicate that they may even be the earliest signpost of a high-mass star-forming region. Their powerful emission make them very good candidates for observations using both single-dish telescopes and interferometers, the latter allows detailed structural and dynamical studies of these obje...
