We propose a new Field-Matching algorithm for astronomical images. This new method is based on a multiresolution analysis. We tried two cases: first, we compared the test image with a synthetic image built from a point source catalog; second, we used a reference image of the relevant portion of the sky. ... Moreover, the new algorithm is faster than FOCAS. ...

Application of IVOA software tools for radio sources investigation Zhelenkova O., Kopylov A., Chernenkov V. The interrelationship between the objects of astronomical catalogs in the different ranges of electromagnetic spectrum and their association into the real astrophysical source has obvious scientific interest. ... We used NVSS as the reference coordinate catalog. ... For 60% of radio sources identified with the objects of the radio catalogs we discovered optical candidates in SDSS survey. ...

The quantity of dust in a spiral disk can be estimated using the dust's typical emission or the extinction of a known source. In this paper we compare two techniques, one based on emission and one on absorption, applied to sections of 14 disk galaxies. ... Hence, they depend differently on the average number and optical depth of ISM structures in the disk. The small-scale geometry of the cold ISM is critical for accurate models of the overall energy budget of spiral disks. ...
