On the night of September 24-25, in the north of Irkutsk Oblast, local residents saw a brightly glowing space object draw a line across the sky and fall into the taiga. ... But scientists learned of the heavenly visitor only on October 3, when a fax arrived at the Institute of Sun And Earth Physics from Bodaibo. ... The first thing we did was to interview residents of villages located along the meteor's flight path. ...

... The source exhibits a mas-scale structure which, according to the USNO multi-epoch monitoring at 2.3 and 8.4 GHz over the period from 1994 July through 1998 April, undergoes considerable changes in the brightness distribution and positions of the major structural features. Our image is qualitatively consistent with the structural pattern of the source. ... We note a difference of ~90 in position angles of secondary components in our image and the 5 GHz VLBI image by Shen et al. 1998). ...

... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . Survey processing . ... VISTA is a 4-m class wide field survey telescope for the southern hemisphere, equipped with a near infrared camera (1.65 degree diameter field of view at VISTA's nominal pixel size) containing 67 million pixels of mean size 0.34 arcsec and available broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,K s and a narrow band filter at 1.18 micron. A wide field visible camera, if constructed, could also be used on VISTA. ... Tile . ... ESO VISTA Public Surveys . ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

... The HSL Algorithm for Reducing NICMOS Polarimetry Observations . ... The preflight Thermal Vacuum tests revealed that each polarizer has a unique polarizing efficiency, and that the position angle offsets differ from the nominal positions of 0, 120 & 240. ... I also present estimates of the NICMOS Instrumental Polarization, and discuss both the sensitivity of the Grisms to polarized light and the accuracy of NICMOS imaging polarimetry for faint and low polarization objects. ...
