The 11.2 $\mu$m emission of PAHs in astrophysical objects [PDF]
The 11.2 $\mu$m emission band belongs to the family of the `Unidentified' Infrared (UIR) emission bands seen in many astronomical environments. In this work we present a theoretical interpretation of the band characteristics and profile variation for a ...

On the massive young stellar object AFGL4176: High-spatial-resolution multi-wavelength observations and modeling [PDF]
Deeply embedded and at distances of several kiloparsecs, massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) present numerous challenges for observation and study. In this work, we present spatially-resolved observations of one MYSO, AFGL 4176, together with survey ...

Mueller Matrix Parameters for Radio Telescopes and their Observational Determination [PDF]
Modern digital crosscorrelators permit the simultaneous measurement of all four Stokes parameters. However, the results must be calibrated to correct for the polarization transfer function of the receiving system. The transfer function for any device can

Galactic rotation curves in modified gravity with non-minimal coupling between matter and geometry [PDF]
We investigate the possibility that the behavior of the rotational velocities of test particles gravitating around galaxies can be explained in the framework of modified gravity models with non-minimal matter-geometry coupling. Generally, the dynamics of

Long-term analysis of clear nights using satellite data considering astronomical sites in western China [PDF]
Abstract A large ground-based optical/infrared telescope is being planned for a world-class astronomical site in China. The cloud-free night percentage is the primary meteorological consideration for evaluating candidate sites. The data from GMS and NOAA satellites and the MODIS instrument were utilized in this research, covering the ...

The radiative transfer equations for Compton scattering of polarized low frequency radiation on a hot electron gas [PDF]
We deduce the equations that describe how polarized radiation is Comptonized by a hot electron gas. Low frequencies are considered, and the equations are expanded to second order in electron velocities.

Astronomical observation tasks short-term scheduling using PDDS algorithm [PDF]
A concept of the ground-based optical astronomical observations efficiency is considered in this paper. We believe that a telescope efficiency can be increased by properly allocating observation tasks with respect to the current environment state and probability to obtain the data with required properties under the current conditions.
