... Jitter is usually very small in magnitude and random in effect, and is not expected to lead to systematic throughput changes. ... However, such a change should lead to an obvious decline in the strength of the comparison lines at one end of the spectrum relative to the other and not an overall decline in counts. No such effect is seen (the counts decline evenly from one end of the spectrum to the other). ... The value changes steadily, but not by enough to account for the changes in counts seen. ...

... The 7 and 15 um observations of selected fields in the Galactic Plane obtained with ISOCAM during the ISOGAL program offer an unique possibility to search for previously unknown YSOs, undetected by IRAS because of lower sensitivity or confusion problems. ... The main indications of the previous analysis are confirmed, but the criteria for selecting YSO candidates had to be revised to select only bright objects, in order to limit the contamination of the sample by Post-MS stars. ...

... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...

... Science . ... The Local Sphere of Influence (LSI) survey is a deep near-IR (H-band) survey of galaxies residing in the Local Sphere of Influence ( D < 10 Mpc). The images with a typical surface brightness limit 4 mag fainter than 2MASS (24.5 mag arcsec -2 < SB lim < 26 mag arcsec -2 ) have been obtained with IRIS2 on the 3.9~m Anglo-Australian Telescope. 11 of the observations have resulted in non-dections or the images were saturated by foreground stars. ...

... 2004: . ... An increase in star brightness is followed by a decrease in asphericity and wind velocity to the point where stationary and even accreting fraction of the wind appears in extremely bright objects together with a flowing out fraction. ... Based on an analysis of observations obtained with BTA and on the published data it was found that degree of abnormality of energy distribution in continuum of magnetic chemically peculiar stars increases with an increase of their rotation period. ...
