چکیده
We have analysed newly calibrated IUE and ROSAT data for three T Tauri stars from diierent sub-classes: TW Hya, V410 Tau and CS Cha, a Classical T Tauri star (CTTS), a Weak T Tauri star (WTTS) and a T Tauri star intermediate between CTTS and WTTS, respectively. In the ultraviolet the continuum seems to be well explained by the sum of the stellar black body emission plus a hydrogenic component with temperature in the range 1.4 to 5 10 4 K. TW Hya requires additionally a third component at 7900 K covering approximately 5% of the stellar surface. Using UV line uxes, we have also analysed the energy emitted by these stars up to temperatures of 10 5 K. All three stars show emission strongly enhanced relatively to the Sun and peaking at temperatures characteristic of the transition region. In this respect the behaviour of the three stars seems to extend in a harmonic way from the ultraviolet into the X-ray band. The X-ray spectral analyses are consistent with emission from a two-temperature, optically thin plasma in collisional equilibrium. The lowest temperature plasma is at about 10 6 K while the highest reaches 10 7 K. We have also checked for and found no evidence for aring activity in our sources at the time of the observations. Nevertheless, some level of variability is present for the stars in the sample. The ROSAT datasets for V410 Tau show a variation in terms of count rate on timescales of months to years.

The Effect of Solar Particles in the Choice of Alloy Shielding in a Satellite
The damages and logical failures in dierent parts of a satellite may occur during a solar event, when a bulk of solar energetic particles approaching the Earth. During solar events, these particles may cause extensive damages which are even permanent (hard errors). A way of damage reduction is designing a proper coating as the fuselage. As protons are the major component of solar particles and ...

We present a short re–evaluation of a recently published time delay estimate for the gravitational lens system HE 1104–1805 with emphasis on important methodological aspects: bias of the statistics, inconsistency of the methods and use of the purposeful selection of data points (or so–called " cleaning ") at the preprocessing stage. We show how the inadequate use of simple analysis methods can ...

We report on low-resolution spectroscopy of GX339–4 during its current, extended X-ray 'off' state in May 2000 (r=20.1) obtained with the VLT Focal Re-ducer/low dispersion Spectrograph (FORS1). Although we do not positively detect the secondary star in GX339–4 we place an upper limit of 30 percent on the contribution of a " normal " K-type secondary star spectrum to the observed flux. Using thi...
