1. PERSONNEL During the report period, Pierini left to take up a position at the Max-Planck-Inst. für Extraterrestrische Physik ~Garching, Germany!. Lerothodi Leeuw joined the Center as a postdoctoral research associate working with Witt. Miroshnichenko was promoted to Research Assistant Professor. K. Bjorkman was promoted to Professor and was on sabbatical leave during academic year 2002–2003. Students involved in astronomical research were: undergraduates Amanda Gault, Erin Hardy, Jacquelyn Must, Joshua Thomas, and Sarah Tonon ~EECS!; and graduate students Jennifer Benson, Boncho Bonev, David Horne, Douglas Long, Ivaylo Mihaylov, Kaike Pan, Uma Vijh, and John Wisniewski. Visiting NSF-REU undergraduate students were, for summer 2002: Chandra Jacobs ~Duke U.! and Marleen Martinez ~U. of Washington!; and for summer 2003: Benjamin Johnson ~U. of Dayton!.

We present optical WBVR and infrared JHKL photometric observations of the Be binary system δ Sco, obtained in 2000–2005, mid-infrared (10 and 18 μm) photometry and optical (λλ 3200–10500 Å) spectropolarimetry obtained in 2001. Our optical photometry confirms the results of much more frequent visual monitoring of δ Sco. In 2005, we detected a significant decrease in the object’s brightness, both...

متن کاملExtended Red Emission in High-Galactic Latitude Interstellar Clouds
Nearby interstellar clouds at high Galactic latitudes are ideal objects in which the interaction of interstellar dust with photons from the well-characterized interstellar radiation field can be studied. Scattering and UV-excited photoluminescence at optical wavelengths as well as thermal emission at midand far-infrared wavelengths are observable manifestations of such interactions. Here we rep...
متن کاملClosed Internal Degloving of the Flank
Originally described in 1853 by Dr. Morel-Lavellee, closed internal degloving injuries represent an important, althoughuncommon, source of morbidity in trauma patients. These injuries are typically the result of a shearing or crushing force thattraumatically separates the skin and subcutaneous tissue from the underlying fat. This results in disruption of perforatingblood vessels and lymphatics,...
متن کاملThe Photophysics of the Carrier of Extended Red Emission Tracy
Interstellar dust contains a component which reveals its presence by emitting a broad, unstructured band of light in the 540 to 950 nm wavelength range, referred to as Extended Red Emission (ERE). The presence of interstellar dust and ultraviolet photons are two necessary conditions for ERE to occur. This is the basis for suggestions which attribute ERE to an interstellar dust component capable...
