We report a mid-infrared color and surface brightness analysis of IC 10, NGC 1313, and NGC 6946, three of the nearby galaxies studied under the Infrared Space Observatory Key Project on Normal Galaxies. Images with <9 (170 pc) resolution of these nearly face-on, late-type galaxies were obtained using the LW2 (6.75 μm) and LW3 (15 μm) ISOCAM filters. Though their global Iν(6.75μm) Iν(15μm) flux ...

Pm-pose: T&o&g is employed to provide unsightly oxseas with a central srtificial pupil or to reduce glare from a parscentral leucoms. The technique is to apply platinum (or gold) chloride to the designated area sfter an epitbelial debridement and subsequently to apply a reducing agent. This procedure is nowadays tmcmnmon in tbe western world, but is still popular in some countries. According to...

NGC 1313 X-2 is one of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources in the sky, at both X-ray and optical wavelengths; therefore, quite a few studies of available ESO VLT and HST data have appeared in the literature. Here, we present our analysis of VLT/FORS1 and HST/ACS photometric data, confirming the identification of the B ∼ 23 mag blue optical counterpart. We show that the system is part of a...

bioactive natural products having potential biomedical applications, many of which differ from those of terrestrial organisms in both chemical structures and peculiarities of biological actions. Several marine natural products have become the source of potentially novel chemical leads for the ongoing global search of therapeutic agents for the treatment of multiple disease categories. Majority ...

We present low-state IUE spectroscopy of the ROSAT-discovered polar RX J1313.2−3259. The SWP spectrum displays a broad Lyα absorption profile, which can be fitted with a two-temperature model of a white dwarf of T wd = 15 000 K with a hot spot of T spot = 34 000 K which covers f ∼ 0.01 of the white dwarf surface. The white dwarf temperature is atypically low for the long orbital period (4.18 h)...
