We investigated the relationship between the blue-light photoreceptor cryptochrome (CRY) and melatonin biosynthesis by generating RNA interference (RNAi) transgenic rice plants that suppress the cryptochrome 1b gene (CRY1b). The resulting CRY1b RNAi rice

A Nearby Isolated Dwarf: Star Formation and Structure of ESO 006–001
Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope unexpectedly revealed that the dwarf galaxy ESO 006–001 is a near neighbor to the Local Group at a distance of 2.70 ± 0.11 Mpc.

Discovery of An Unusually Blue L Dwarf Within 10 pc of the Sun [PDF]
We report the discovery of an unusually blue L5 dwarf within 10 pc of the Sun from a search of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra. A spectrophotometric distance estimate of 8.0+/-1.6 pc places SDSS J141624.08+134826.7 among the six closest known L ...

Infrared Spectroscopy of Blue Dwarf Galaxies
We present a survey of the near-infrared emission lines of eight blue dwarf galaxies. These galaxies have advantages for study of the excitation of the interstellar medium by starbursts because the effects are relatively undiluted by the quiescent stellar population, the star formation episodes usually appear to be of short duration, and the effects of

Nearby Blue Compact Dwarf Galaxy NGC 6789 [PDF]
We present the results of a detailed BVRI and Hα study of the isolated nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxy NGC 6789. Judging from the literature the observed galaxy has not yet been resolved into stars up to now. On CCD frames obtained with 6m BTA telescope and 2.5m Nordic telescope the galaxy is well resolved.

Properties of the Dwarf Galaxy Population in Galaxy Clusters
We present the observational properties of the dwarf galaxy population (Mr > M*+1) corresponding to one of the largest samples of spectroscopically confirmed galaxy cluster members reported in the literature. We have observed that red dwarf galaxies (u-r

Empirical characterization of blue dwarf galaxies
We present an analysis of the optical and far-infrared properties of a homogeneous sample of blue dwarf galaxies. The luminosity of the galaxies is parametrized in terms of their metallicity, size, and velocity dispersion. The environment of the galaxies is also searched for companions, finding that a large fraction of the sampled galaxies are truly ...

Asteroseismology of the ZZ Ceti and DAZ GD133
GD 133 is a DAZ white dwarf with an atmosphere polluted by heavy elements accreted from a debris disk, which is formed by the disruption of rocky planetesimals with orbits bringing them at the white dwarf tidal radius.

The emission-line pulse pattern in the intermediate polar RX J0558 [PDF]
We observed the intermediate polar RX J0558+53 with the 4.2m WHT and find in the pulsed emission lines, a ``corkscrew'' pattern, which indicates a two-pole white dwarf accretion.
