Bubbling and bistability in two parameter discrete systems
We present a graphical analysis of the mechanisms underlying the occurrences
of bubbling sequences and bistability regions in the bifurcation scenario of a
special class of one dimensional two parameter maps. The main result of the
analysis is that whether it is bubbling or bistability is decided by the sign
of the third derivative at the inflection point of the map function.Comment: LaTeX v2.09, 14 pages with 4 PNG figure
GALEX Observations of Diffuse UV Radiation at High Spatial Resolution from the Sandage Nebulosity
Using the GALEX ultraviolet imagers we have observed a region of nebulosity
first identified as starlight scattered by interstellar dust by Sandage (1976).
Apart from airglow and zodiacal emission, we have found a diffuse UV background
of between 500 and 800 \phunit in both the \galex FUV (1350 -- 1750 \AA) and
NUV (1750 -- 2850 \AA). Of this emission, up to 250 \phunit is due to \htwo
fluorescent emission in the FUV band; the remainder is consistent with
scattering from interstellar dust. We have estimated the optical constants to
be in the FUV and in the NUV, implying
highly forward scattering grains, plus an extragalactic contribution of as much
as 150 \phunit. These are the highest spatial resolution observations of the
diffuse UV background to date and show an intrinsic scatter beyond that
expected from instrumental noise alone. Further modeling is required to
understand the nature of this scatter and its implications for the ISM.Comment: Total 20 pages, Figures 9, Accepted for publication in Astrophysical

Measurement of Dust Optical Properties in Coalsack
We have used FUSE and Voyager observations of dust scattered starlight in the
neighborhood of the Coalsack Nebula to derive the optical constants of the dust
grains. The albedo is consistent with a value of and the phase
function asymmetry factor with a value of throughout the
spectral range from 900 -- 1200 \AA, in agreement with previous determinations
as well as theoretical predictions. We have now observed two regions (Ophiuchus
and Coalsack) with intense diffuse background radiation and in both cases have
found that the emission is due to light from nearby hot stars scattered by a
relatively thin foreground cloud, with negligible contribution from the
background molecular cloud.Comment: Total 19 pages, Figures 9, Accepted for publication in Astrophysical

Observations of Diffuse Ultraviolet Emission from Draco
We have studied small scale (2 arcmin) spatial variation of the diffuse UV
radiation using a set of 11 GALEX deep observations in the constellation of
Draco. We find a good correlation between the observed UV background and the IR
100 micron flux, indicating that the dominant contributor of the diffuse
background in the field is the scattered starlight from the interstellar dust
grains. We also find strong evidence of additional emission in the FUV band
which is absent in the NUV band. This is most likely due to Lyman band emission
from molecular hydrogen in a ridge of dust running through the field and to
line emissions from species such as C IV (1550 A) and Si II (1533 A) in the
rest of the field. A strong correlation exists between the FUV/NUV ratio and
the FUV intensity in the excess emission regions in the FUV band irrespective
of the optical depth of the region. The optical depth increases more rapidly in
the UV than the IR and we find that the UV/IR ratio drops off exponentially
with increasing IR due to saturation effects in the UV. Using the positional
details of Spitzer extragalactic objects, we find that the contribution of
extragalactic light in the diffuse NUV background is 49 +/- 13 photon units and
is 30 +/- 10 photon units in the FUV band.Comment: 30 pages, 13 figures, Accepted for publication in The Astrophysical
