Title: Is NP Aqr a new near-contact binary? Authors: C. Ibanoglu, O. Cakirli, A. Dervisoglu We present radial velocities of the double-lined spectroscopic binary NP Aqr. The radial velocities and the optical light curves obtained by Hipparcos and ASAS-3 are analysed separately. The masses of th...
Title: A Correction in the Cosmological Parallax--Distance Formula Authors: Ashok K. Singal It is shown that the standard cosmological parallax--distance formula, as found in the literature, including text-books on cosmology, requires a correction. This correction arises from the fact tha...
Thirteen unexplained radio blips have turned up in radio telescope observations since the 1980s. They emerged in spots where there are no stars or galaxies to be seen, last anywhere from hours to days, and do not seem to repeat. The blips could be traces of a vast population of stellar corpses - neutro...
