... R-band images obtained at 0.8 arcsec seeing conditions have allowed us to separate foreground star from point-like extragalactic source and estimate their brightness separately. ... To study the nature and properties of the source, we observed it under high spatial resolution. ... CONCLUSION RTT150 optical observations with sub-arcsecond seeing and low resolution spectra confirm the hypothesis of superposition of a radio source onto a `normal' F/G galactic star proposed by [1]. ...

... G., Filippova A.S. Presented by: Filippova A.S Achievements · Refined model based on the celestial-mechanics methods is presented that is a generalized version of the previously developed basic model · Subtle effects are qualitatively explained based on the amplitude-frequency analysis and the computer numerical modelling of the oscillatory pole motion, where the key feature is the Chandler wobble 2 Basic Model of the Polar Oscillations ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

Comment on J0513-2159 . Our image shows an extension to about 5 mas SE from the brightest feature. The EVN 8 GHz image by Dallacasa et al. (1998), with about five times larger resolution, shows an extension from the brightest feature roughly opposite to our direction. As noted by Dallacasa et al. (1998), the structure detected has a highly inverted spectrum, which, together with the reported variability in the source, could explain the structural disagreement. ...
