... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Using positional observations of minor planets for improving the orientation of star catalogue Yu. ... But expe­ rience shows that this kind of observations can be used succesfully for improving orientation parameters of star catalogues with respect to dynamical reference system. ... Observations of 90 selected minor planets were used in general solution for their orbital elements, orientation parameters and some parameters of phase re­ duction. ...

... The search for distant objects which can be both galaxies and quasars is one of the most important problems of observational astrphysics, because it allows one to determine cosmological parameters connected with the time of appearence and evolution of stellar systems, large scale structure of the Universe. ... Radio galaxies are important objects to be studied because they are sources of infrared-optical-ultraviolet continuum, emission lines and continual radio emission. ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...
