... A revised machine-readable source list for the Rees 38-MHz survey. ... 233R ============================================================================ We present a revised machine-readable source list for the Rees 38-MHz (or '8C') survey with improved positions and no redundancy. The Rees 38-MHz survey covers an area of about 1 sr north of declination +60 degrees. The angular resolution is 4.5 x 4.5cosec(dec) arcmin**2 and the limiting flux density over much of the survey area is about 1 Jy. ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

... A light curve decomposition tool ( LFIT ) developed by Keith Horne and Tom Marsh and its application on HST-data of the eclipsing dwarf nova IP Peg will be presented. ... Our LFIT code decomposes time-resolved spectral data into N components with parameterized light curve shapes, solving for the spectra of each component. ... To apply this algorithm to the HST and UBVRI eclipses of IP Peg, we add an ellipsoidal light curve for the companion star, and a more detailed description of the bright spot. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...

. Comment on J1130-1449 . There are two dominant components in our image. Comparison with the 15 GHz image of Kellermann et al. (1998) reveals that the western component is brighter at the higher frequency, indicating that the brighter (eastern) component in our image may have a steep spectrum. VLBApls home page .
