    A long entry should continue on the next line(s) with no repetition of the percent sign and keying letter. All entries should be in ascii and there should be no tabs or control characters. Blank lines can delimit paragraphs in the abstract, but should not otherwise be present within a record. The bibliographic code is the only field which is required for all records, but author list, journal name, publication date, and title are strongly recommended as well. Additional records should be separated by a blank line.

     %K Cosmic Plasma, Dark Matter, Galactic Clusters, X-ray Astronomy, Baryons, 
        Luminosity, Redshift
     %B The dynamical masses of groups and clusters of galaxies decrease on average
     with increasing redshift, after the hierarchical cosmogonies dominated by
     direct collapses of dark matter overdensities. We show that the masses of
     intracluster plasma emitting in the X-ray band are to decrease more rapidly. We
     also show that consideration of the intrinsic spread in the dynamical formation
     times leads us to predict more numerous faint sources at given dynamical mass.
     The model we compute yields steeper luminosity functions in the X-ray band with
     a specific change in lookback time: the bright end shifts back. Such negative
     evolution is fast even at modest redshifts z less than about 0.5 if the
     external gas infalling into groups of clusters was preheated and has cooled
     down after z of about 1.5-2. If so, the evolution is considerably faster in the
     X-ray than in the optical band, comparing interestingly with data from the
     existing surveys.

     %K Carbon, Hydrogen Atoms, Interstellar Matter, Photoluminescence, Ultraviolet 
        Radiation, Cosmic Dust, Interstellar Extinction
     %B We report on new laboratory results which relate directly to the observation
     of strongly enhanced extended red emission (ERE) by interstellar dust in H2 
     photodissociation zones. The ERE has been attributed to photoluminescence by 
     hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC). We are demonstrating that exposure to 
     thermally dissociated atomic hydrogen will restore the photoluminescence 
     efficiency of previously annealed HAC. Also, pure amorphous carbon (AC), not 
     previously photoluminescent, can be induced to photoluminesce by exposure to 
     atomic hydrogen. This conversion of AC into HAC is greatly enhanced by the 
     presence of UV irradiation. The presence of dense, warm atomic hydrogen and a 
     strong UV radiation field are characteristic environmental properties of H2 
     dissociation zones. Our results lend strong support to the HAC 
     photoluminescence explanation for ERE.

     %T Specific frequencies of globular clusters in elliptical galaxies - A new 
        test of the extragalactic distance scale
     %K Elliptical Galaxies, Galactic Structure, Globular Clusters, Hubble Constant,
        Distance, Lenticular Bodies, Scaling
     %B The specific frequency, S, values of globular clusters in elliptical galaxies
     (S is the ratio between total (extrapolated) number, N(t), and absolute
     luminosity of the galaxy) depend on the adopted distance scale. If the distance
     is derived form the redshift with an assumed value of the Hubble ratio, h =
     H/100, then the optimum value of h may be derived for a sample of normal E
     galaxies covering a sufficient range of distances by finding the value of h
     which minimizes the dispersion. In this paper, the best consistency between the
     specific frequencies of globular clusters among nine normal E galaxies is
     reached for H = 85 +/- 4, where the error is evidently an internal error only.
     H = 85 is also the value that minimizes the mean specific frequency itself.

     %B The Hubble diagram for Type I supernovae is derived in V and is summarized 
     from the literature in B and in m(pg). The ridge line equation of the diagram 
     in V and the calibration of the absolute magnitudes at maximum are presented. 
     The intrinsic (B - V) color at B maximum light is 0.09 +/- 0.04 mag. The Virgo
     Cluster distance is derived and found to be 23.9 +/- 2.4 Mpc. This Virgo
     distance gives the cosmic value of the Hubble constant to be H(0) = 47 +/- 5
     km/sec per Mpc.

     %B Detector packages were exposed on the European Retrievable Carrier
     (EURECA) as part of the Biostack experiment inside the Exobiology and
     Radiation Assembly (ERA) and at several locations around EURECA. The
     packages consist of different plastic nuclear track detectors, nuclear
     emulsions and thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD's). Evaluation of these
     detectors yields data on absorbed dose and particle and LET spectra.
     Preliminary results of absorbed dose measurements in the EURECA
     dosimeter packages are reported and compared to results of the LDEF
     experiments. The highest dose rate measured on EURECA is 63.3 plus or
     minus 0.4 mGy d(exp -1) behind a shielding thickness of 0.09 g cm(exp
     -2) in front of the detector package.
