... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

This archive is actually an official fix for XFree86/OS2 which corrects a certain bug in the device driver required for XFree86. For fun, and as a bonus, I added one more feature to this driver which could make it quite worthwhile for people who do not own or use XFree86/OS2 (info is at http://borneo.gmd.de/~veit/os2/xf86os2.html, BTW). ... However, to only use the "death" feature, you don't need to install any parts of XFree86 except the enclosed device driver. ... NEW Beta XFree86/OS2 3.1.2E | ...
