Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES) The M74 group is a gas-rich galaxy group located at roughly 10 Mpc and is similar in makeup to the Local Group. M74 dominates the surrounding region and is accompanied by several dwarf galaxies, some of which are star-forming. ... We have decided upon a drift mapping approach to scan the entire region. We have defined 5 constant declination scans 5 in length, separated by approximately one full ALFA footprint. ... START TIME (AST) . END TIME (AST) . ...

... HST . Using multiple FP-POS positions at new COS Lifetime Location. ... HST Overview . ... To minimize such local degradation at the new COS lifetime position and maximize COS FUV data quality, proposers are strongly encouraged to use all four FP-POS positions (FP-POS=ALL) at any given CENWAVE when planning their observations in Cycle 20 as well. ... STScI will keep monitoring the ongoing and planned usage of the different COS CENWAVE and FP-POS positions at the new COS lifetime position. ...

In 2007-2008, the planet Uranus will reach one of its annual equinoxes for the first time since 1966. As a consequence, its five major satellites orbiting in the equatorial plane will undergo a season of mutual eclipses and occultations very similar to the one that Jupiter's Galilean satellites undergo every 6 years. ... Some of these events occur when Uranus is at conjunction, or the satellite is transiting or too close to the limb of the planet. ... Complete table of events . ...
