The revision of the MASS/DIMM star catalogue N. Shatsky, V. Kornilov March 16, 2008 Abstract The compilation of the (updated) version of the MASS (MASS/DIMM) device target catalogue is described. ... Then the list was cleaned according to following criteria: I. Remove stars too faint for a MASS device. ... Here the color equation of the Sternb erg device was taken: M AS S mag = V mag + 0.45 (B - V ); stars with M AS S mag > 3.2 were removed. ... This was made based on the GCVS4.2 catalogue data. ...

... After all we cannot send a probe to the star Altair to confirm that it is 17 light years away. ... The "Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni was about ten light years away" Earth goes around the Sun in one year, so in six month it is in the opposite position in its orbit. ... In 1838 Bessel determined that the star 61 Cygni had a parallax of 0.314 arcseconds and therefore the star was about ten light years away (today the distance is more precisely measured to be 11.4 light years). ...

... Gravity data reflect changes, related to the groundwater redistribution, ice melting, and precipitation accumulation. ...

... For the first balloon flight of the Nuclear Compton Telescope (NCT) we have simultaneously reduced lowenergy background and enabled hard X-ray imaging by enshrouding the top of the instrument in a tin shield (bottom had BGO shielding), with part of the shield having strategically placed holes -- a 10% open coded aperture mask working up to 80 keV in conjunction with the finely pixellated double-sided Ge strip detectors. ... Key words: Compton telescope, coded mask, hard X-ray imaging, NCT. ...

. The relation between star formation activity and size. Red circles and blue double-circles represent the galaxies with single- and double-component ACS sources, respectively. The research team's idea that most of the galaxies consist of two (or more) interacting small galaxies with small angular separation is also illustrated, which explains the observed trend very well.
