The SCUBA polarized 850 μm thermal emission data of the OMC-2 region in Orion A are added to and homogeneously reduced with data already available in the OMC-3 region. The data set shows that OMC-2 is a region generally less polarized than OMC-3. Where coincident, most of the 850 μm polarization pattern is similar to that measured in 350 μm

The possibility of anisotropies in the speed of light relative to the limiting speed of electrons is considered. The absence of sidereal variations in the energy of Compton-edge photons at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility’s GRAAL facility constrains such anisotropies representing the first nonthreshold collision-kinematics study of

From the point of view of the intrinsic rotation, the Jupiter Trojans are not as well characterized as the main belt asteroids, primarily because the available sample of lightcurves is small and mainly restricted to the largest objects. We have obtained rotational periods and lightcurve amplitudes for 6 Trojan asteroids, which range between values

Galaxies are believed to become active by a process where two gas-rich galaxies merge, causing gas inflow to the supermassive black hole, which will then fuel the activity. As one of the most luminous types of active galaxies, quasars can be used for studying the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxies. The location of quasars in the large

Context. Recent observations of various kinds of jets in the solar atmosphere motivate studying the influence of mass flow on the stability of solar magnetic structures. Aims: We study the influence of axial mass flows on the stability of twisted magnetic flux tubes. Methods: We use the incompressible magnetohydrodynamic equations to get the
