The search for structure in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) needs to take into account the Galactic background contribution. The potential of using existing maps at 408 and 1420 MHz to determine this correction at high frequencies is examined. It is found that a significant part of the high Galactic latitude structure evident in these maps is

We consider the universal central extension of the Lie algebra $Vect (S^1)${math s}$ C^{infty}(S^1)$. The coadjoint representation of this Lie algebra has a natural geometric interpretation by matrix analogues of the Sturm-Liouville operators. This approach leads to new Lie superalgebras generalizing the well-known Neveu-Schwartz algebra.

The equilibrium of non-force-free twisted horizontal magnetic flux tubes is studied including gravity and an arbitrary pressure perturbation on the tube boundary. To solve this free-boundary problem, we use general nonorthogonal flux coordinates and consider the two-dimensional case in which there is no variation of the physical quantities along

The relatively large neutral hydrogen contents and enhanced density of companion galaxies around Seyfert 2 galaxies suggests that tidal interaction could play a major role in the evolution of Seyfert 2 galaxies. Recent observations of the distribution of neutral hydrogen in the active S0 galaxy NGC5252 have shown a disturbed morphology which
