THE SHAPES OF DARK HALOS
The shapes of dark halos (e.g. spherical, oblate or triaxial) provide important clues to the formation history of the halos, to their baryon content and to the nature of the dark matter. The halo shapes also influence the dynamics of the galaxy they harbor. This review discusses the current status of theoretical predic...

Kinetics of Conversion of Air Bubbles to Air-Hydrate Crystals in Antarctic Ice

NEW INSIGHTS INTO NON-RADIATIVE HEATING IN LATE-A STAR CHROMOSPHERES
Using new and archival spectra from the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph, we have searched for evidence of chromospheric and transition region emission in six stars of mid- to late-A spectral type. Two of the stars, alpha Aql (A7 IV-V) and alpha Cep (A7 IV-V), show emission in the C~II 1335 A doublet, confirming th...

The DENIS 2 Micron Survey and its Cosmological Applications
Near-infrared surveys have very promising cosmological applications. The DENIS 2 micron survey, currently in camera-testing, is scheduled to begin in early 1995, and to map the entire southern sky in the $I$, $J$, and $K'$ bands. The steps for the near-homogeneous extraction of $\sim 10^5$ galaxies are outlined, some p...

The Detection of DENIS Galaxies
Using simulated images, we test various methods, for the homogeneous detection of objects in DENIS images. The optimal detection limits depend on the object type and the sky background, but little on the PSF or the smoothing filter used to increase the signal-to-noise of the images.

Structure on large scale in the Universe up to the distance of 200 Mpc
The distribution of galaxies up to a distance of 200 Mpc (650 million light-years) is flat and shows a structure like a shell roughly centered on the Local Supercluster (Virgo cluster). This result clearly confirms the existence of the hypergalactic large scale structure noted in 1988. This is presently the largest str...

LIMITS ON ANISOTROPY AND INHOMOGENEITY FROM THE COSMIC BACKGROUND RADIATION,
We consider directly the equations by which matter imposes anisotropies on freely propagating background radiation, leading to a new way of using anisotropy measurements to limit the deviations of the Universe from a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) geometry. This approach is complementary to the usual Sachs-Wolfe appr...

CO, HI and cold dust in a sample of IRAS galaxies
