    Description: A fairly fool-proof method to ensure that the compounds isolated from meteorites are truly part of the meteorites and not an artifact introduced by exposure to the terrestrial environment, storage, or handling is presented. The stable carbon and hydrogen isotope ratios in several of the chemical compounds extracted from the Murchison meteorite were measured. The results obtained by studying the amino acids in this meteorite gave very unusual hydrogen and carbon isotope ratios. The technique was extended to the different classes of hydrocarbons and the hydrocarbons were isolated using a variety of separation techniques. The results and methods used in this investigation are described in this two page paper.

    Description: Optical and 3.3-mm data for the Seyfert galaxy NGC 1275 (3C 84) are compared. Similarities exist between the variations at the two wavelengths with regard to amplitude, time scale, and interval between events. The question is raised whether these similarities may be the result of a common triggering mechanism.

    Description: Cas A was observed with the imaging detectors on the Einstein X-ray Observatory. The mass of the expanding shell due to the interaction of the blast wave and the ambient medium is determined. This indicates that Cas A is probably not in the free expansion phase, but has not yet reached the adiabatic phase of expansion. Detailed comparison of X-ray, optical, and radio images shows various degrees of correlation, indicating that several processes for emission are present. An upper limit of 1,500,000 K is established for any stellar remnant that is below the expected temperature of a neutron star by a factor of about 5. The total mass of the SNR is found to be 10-30 solar masses

    Description: It is pointed out that the separate study of neutron star envelopes is a valuable technique for gaining insights into neutron star cooling calculations. It is shown that, to an excellent approximation, the temperature at the inner boundary of the envelope, T sub b, is a function only of T sub s to the 4th power over g sub s, where T sub s is the effective temperature and g sub s is the surface gravity. This result makes it possible to investigate very simply the effects of general relativity and of opacity changes on the T sub b - T sub s relation and to compare calculations by different workers, even though they use different neutron star models. It is also shown that the most important opacity source for obtaining a reliable T sub b - T sub s relation is the conductive opacity of matter when the ions are liquid. Calculations are presented in which particular attention is given to this region and the best available opacities are used.

    Description: The envelopes of nonmagnetic neutron stars are studied using the best available opacities and equation of state. The general relativistic equations of the structure and evolution of nonmagnetic neutron stars are discussed, and it is shown that they can be reduced to a single equation for calculating the thermal structure of neutron star envelopes. The physical input needed to solve the thermal structure equation is investigated and the numerical results of envelope model calculations are presented. It is shown that the thermal structure of neutron star envelopes is determined by the single parameter T(s) to the 4th/g(s), where T(s) is the effective surface temperature and g(s) the surface gravity of the star. This result is used to derive a number of other scaling relations, and the effects of general relativity on the envelope thermal structure are examined in detail. The results of a sensitivity analysis of the regional opacity needed to obtain a reliable relationship between the temperatures of the inner and outer boundaries of the envelope is presented.

    Description: A method is given for determining the sensitivity of certain types of calculations to the uncertainties in the input physics or model parameters; this method is applicable to problems that involve solutions to coupled, ordinary differential equations. In particular the sensitivity of calculations of the thermal structure of neutron star envelopes to uncertainties in the opacity and equation of state is examined. It is found that the uncertainties in the relationship between the surface and interior temperatures of a neutron star are due almost entirely to the imprecision in the values of the conductive opacity in the region where the ions form a liquid; here the conductive opacity is, for the most part, due to the scattering of electrons from ions.

    Description: Formulae for the gravitational radiation due to the anisotropic axisymmetric emission of neutrinos from a small source are derived. We find that a burst of neutrinos released anisotropically from a supernova will generate a burst of gravitational radiation that may be comparable in amplitude and energy to the gravitational radiation generated by the fluid motion in the collapse of the supernova core.

    Description: Some of the effects of primordial inhomogeneities on the production of H-2, He-3, and Li-7 are investigated. For the most part, temperature fluctuations have only small effects on the abundances. The density fluctuations are modeled by a unimodal distribution so that the Universe is characterized by the mean density and the relative amplitude of the density variations. It has been found that the constraint which H-2 production imposes on the mean mass density is eased somewhat by allowing for density inhomogeneities. However, unless the composition of the interstellar matter is atypical of most of the matter in the Universe, the mass density will be at least a factor of 3 below the critical density. For reasonable estimates of the pregalactic abundances, sufficient He-3 and Li-7 cannot be produced in the same model universe. Production of both Li-7 and H-2 requires large-amplitude primordial fluctuations, while sufficient He-3 and H-2 can be formed in very low-density, fairly homogeneous universes.

    Description: Cygnus X-1 was observed from 3 November until 9 November 1974, using the hard X-ray (1-28 keV) and soft X-ray (1-8 keV) experiment on board the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite. On three occasions, on 4 and 5 November, the X-ray spectrum was observed to be harder, while the flux intensity in the 1-7 keV ranges decreased by about 50% from its quiescent value. These events occurred near and following the time of superior conjunction of the likely optical counterpart HDE 226 868. These events appear to be the same as previously reported absorption dips and reveal this phenomenon to be more complex than had been believed. A systematic study of the X-ray spectral variations in these energy bands, on a time scale of 64 seconds over the period of the spectroscopic binary, is presented.

    Description: Certain post-Newtonian effects may be observable in the arrival times of pulses from the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16. Such effects include the gravitational propagation delay and the post-Newtonian corrections to the elliptical binary orbit. Fitting a model of these effects as they are predicted by general relativity to the pulse arrival times permits the estimation of more parameters than are necessary to determine the orbit and masses of the system. This redundancy provides an important check of the assumption that the observed periastron precession rate is entirely due to the effect of general relativity on compact masses.
