    Description: Thin film transmission infrared spectra and a list of integrated absorbance values (band strengths) of bands in the 2.5 to 20 micron range of various molecular solids deposited on a CsI window cooled to 10 K are presented. These solids include molecules known or suspected to be present on interstellar grains such as H2O, CO, NH3 and CH4 and mixtures of these molecules as well as various hydrocarbons. The method is described by which the absorbance values derived can be used to estimate column densities of species adsorbed on interstellar grains and other solids associated with celestial IR sources.

    Description: A four-year search for 86-GHz SiO and H2O maser emission towards about 20 unidentified OH/IR objects and about 35 optically identified variable stars has yielded information on the temporal variations of many of these sources. The SiO maser emission is noted to behave differently in OH/IR objects as compared with Mira variables. An attempt is made to explain the appearance of strong masers in both vibrational states solely at the 43 GHz transition, under the assumption that an intrinsically weak pump mechanism generates weak (v=1, J=2-1) emission.

    Description: Light curves and period estimates were obtained for several Pleiades and Alpha Persei cluster K dwarfs which were identified as rapid rotators in earlier spectroscopic studies. A few of the stars have previously-published light curves, making it possible to study the long-term variability of the light-curve shapes. The general cause of the photometric variability observed for these stars is an asymmetric distribution of photospheric inhomogeneities (starspots). The presence of these inhomogeneities combined with the rotation of the star lead to the light curves observed. The photometric periods derived are thus identified with the rotation period of the star, making it possible to estimate equatorial rotational velocities for these K dwarfs. These data are of particular importance because the clusters are sufficiently young that stars of this mass should have just arrived on the main sequence. These data could be used to estimate the temperatures and sizes of the spot groups necessary to produce the observed light curves for these stars.

    Description: The constraints that the available X-ray spectral and imaging data place on the mass distribution and mass to light ratio of rich clusters are considered. It was found for the best determined cases that the mass to light ratio is less than 125 h sub 50 at radii exceeding 1 h sub 50 Mpc. The mass to light ratio is approximately constant at radii exceeding 1 h sub 50 Mpc but may rise to values of roughly 200 h sub 50 in the central regions. The fraction of the total mass that is in baryons, primarily the hot X-ray emitting gas, is roughly 30 percent thus setting the mass to light ratio of the dark material to roughly 70. The model that fits the X-ray data for Coma is in good agreement with the observed optical velocity dispersion vs. radius data.

    Description: X-ray, UV and optical data are presented of the longest period AM Her object, E2003+225, from October 12, 1983, together with a new linear polarization ephemeris. The optical and X-ray data were obtained simultaneously and the UV observations were carried out on the same day. A 6-hr observation with the Exosat 500 line/mm objective grating restricts soft X-ray blackbody temperatures to the range 18-29 eV. The blackbody luminosity exceeds the hard X-ray luminosity by at least a factor of 4.5, but is of the same order as the optical/UV component. Soft (0.1-0.25 keV) and hard X-ray (1-6 keV) light curves covering almost two orbital periods are presented and discussed.

    Description: Configurations of corotating shocks in the outer heliosphere are computed on the assumption that the shocks move at constant speeds between collisions. The basic physical process is the interaction of a forward shock with a reverse shock. The points at which this interaction takes place are determined algebraically in terms of the initial shock positions and speeds. Between the points at which the shocks interact, the shocks have the form of Archimedian spirals. Shock configurations are determined for the case of two corotating shock pairs originating at 2.5 AU and for a single shock pair at 2.5 AU. In both cases the heliosphere is divided into several distinct regions distinguished by the number of times the particles have passed through a shock. Since the shock strengths decrease when a forward shock interacts with a reverse shock, corotating shocks are expected to be weaker at larger distances from the sun.

    Description: It is shown that the Goedel metric (GM) for a rotating cosmology is compatible with the self-consistent formulation of the Einstein-Cartan (EC) metric-torsion theory for a spinning fluid. The proposed calculation shows, within the context of an EC theory, how to self-consistently incorporate a perfect fluid with spin density into the GM without changing the metric. It is found that the only changes produced in the GM parameters in connection with a spinning fluid are that the cosmological constant becomes slightly more negative and the sense of rotation is flipped 180 deg.

    Description: IRAS 12-100 micron data on the Cas A remnant are presented, and various physical mechanisms and astrophysical sites that may contribute to the observed infrared emission are analyzed. The contributions of various sources of infrared emission to the IRAS fluxes are found to be small. The residual infrared emission is attributed to thermal emission from dust which is swept up by the expanding supernova blast wave and collisionally heated by the postshock X-ray emitting gas. The calculations are consistent with a shock velocity of 1800 km/s and a preshock gas density of about 2/cu cm. The mass of the swept-up gas is about 0.6 solar mass. An excess of 12 micron thermal emission in the spectrum of Cas A suggests the presence of very small particles in the preshocked gas.

    Description: Ground-based 2-23 micron photometry and 10.3 micron imaging of comet Halley taken within hours of the Giotto spacecraft encounter are presented. The photometry shows a color temperature of 360 K and silicate emission features at 10 and 20 microns, and the image shows jet activity similar to that observed by Giotto, but on a scale of thousands of km. The expected 10 micron surface brightness, based on the particle mass distribution measured by Giotto and assuming solid, spherical grains, is a factor of six lower than the observed value. It is suggested that fluffy particles could remove this discrepancy.
