... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

... Radiative mechanisms in accreting black holes Accreting black holes are known to show two spectral states. In the hard state, the photon index is about =1.7 and most of the energy is emitted at about 100 keV by thermal Comptonization. ... Why the electron distributions are so much different in the two states is a mystery. Why the spectral index seems to saturate at 1.7 in the hard state is also unknown. We will discuss the physical processes that control the spectral shape. ...

SINGULAR POINTS IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE . ... In the structure of the solar chromosphere, containing information on the configuration of the magnetic field, we have found and identified all the main types of the singular points ( see Fig. 1 ), which are known as inherent features of the 2-D vector field. ...
