... A distance-limited sample of southern Wolf-Rayet stars within 3 kpc of the Sun has been observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array at 8.64 GHz and 4.80 GHz. ... Five sources are classified as non-thermal. ... We derive mass-loss rates for the thermal sources. After combining them with all existing radio mass-loss rates of Wolf-Rayet stars in the northern and southern hemisphere, we perform a comparison with mass-loss rates derived from optical emission lines. ...

... Over the course of a week two secondary students James Hadnett and Liam Fields observed NEAs using one of two 2-Metre telescopes courtesy of the Faulkes Telescope Project which are positioned in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere.

Brad Carter, Carolyn Brown, Rhodes Hart Drew Foster, John Kielkopf, Ron Moore University of Southern Queensland, Australia University of Louisville, Kentucky, USA OVERVIEW Mt Kent Observatory is now providing live remote observations of southern skies as part of a collaborative project between USQ, the University of Louisville, and Northern Kentucky University. ... This enables observers to make daytime use of a remote telescope during its local night-time, and image otherwise inaccessible skies. ...

... This year's most powerful solar flare was photographed by TESIS telescopes in the southern hemisphere of the Sun on July 5th, 2009. ... Events of such power are unique and are only observed during maximal solar activity. ... For two months, all the activity of the new solar cycle was connected with areas of this belt, including the first solar flares and coronal mass ejections of the year. ... Nevertheless, this year's largest solar flare occurred in the southern belt. ...

Comet PANSTARRS reaches perihelion, its closest approach to the Sun on 10 March, after this it will start to move away from the Sun and to be visible in the twilight sky to observers in the northern hemisphere. ... It was a very faint and delicate white ?feather? against a deep golden sky.€а It took quite some effort to find even with binoculars and I could not see it at all without them. ...

... A similar level of effort is anticipated for HDF-S. We are maintaining a `clearinghouse' for supporting and follow-up observations of the HDF-S. Test observations of the HDF-S field were obtained in October, 1997. ... Simultaneous, parallel observations were made with the three HST instruments STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS of separate, neighboring fields. ... Additional flanking field observations were made surrounding the deep STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS fields. ... The red field is the main HDF-S WFPC2 field....

... The SMS program is a critical endeavor to investigate whether the predictions of standard cold dark matter cosmology are consistent with the observed matter distribution in the Milky Way halo. It is the deepest, most extended search for optically elusive dwarf satellite galaxies and tidal streams to date, covering the entire Southern hemisphere. ... However only a few dwarf satellites have been found around the Milky Way to date - 22 dwarfs compared to 500-10,000 predicted by theory (Klypin et al. ...

We report here on those proposed UIT targets that, in fact, were successfully acquired. Where possible we provide an optical CCD image of the target or the field. ... A1 centered at 2500 angstroms with a width of 1200 angstroms . B5 centered at 1615 angstroms with a width of 150 angstroms . ... The exposure was 1174 seconds through B5. M31 southern field was imaged for 1045 seconds through the B5 filter. ... NGC 1291 a nearby elliptical galaxy was imaged for 505 seconds through B5. ...

... The Southern Sky in Warm Hydrogen . ... Although spectacular emission nebula s glow brightly in this type of red light ( H-alpha ), a diffuse amount of warm hydrogen is spread throughout our Galaxy and its glow nicely indicates not only where darker hydrogen and other gasses may be located, but also the sometimes- complex history of interstellar gas . ...

... Many of these radi HII regions lie beyond the range of optical detection, at distances exceeding several kpc; they thus provide a comprehensive coverage of the southern HII regions in the Galaxy over the longitude range 210 to 360^o and consistute a vital data base for the study of galactic structure. ... C Caswell (1972) . ... In column 16, "V", or a specific nebula name, denotes the presence of a visible optical counterpart, and "A" indicates the absence of an optical counterpart. ...
