... It is notoriously difficult to identify weak cosmic ray events in long exposure observations. ... The method is to compare the probability distribution function (PDF) of cosmic ray events between an observation and a dark frame matched in exposure time. We illustrate the basic idea using dark exposures from a Tek 1024 1024 CCD with varying exposure lengths and read-out times. ... Figure: Histogram of cosmic ray events in a two hour dark frame. ...

Dome C, where Italy and France are building a new scientific station, is a potential observing site in the millimetric and sub-millimetric range. ... Site testing instruments are already operating at the South Pole (AASTO, Automated Astrophysical Site-Testing Observatory), while light experiments have been running at Dome C (APACHE, Antarctic Plateau Anisotropy CHasing Experiment) during summertime. ...

Report “Laboratory zero-baseline interferometer tests” (ZBT) was prepared and issued in ASC (35 pages including 17 figures and diagrams in Russian language). ... The Ground-Space radio interferometer (OVLBI) Radioastron includes several space and ground-based segments which are designed and manufactured by different countries and organizations. ... ZBI tests (for OVLBI) were implemented in Russia firstly. The tests were implemented by joint team of ASC, JPL and NRAO in 1999. ...

... Near-IR broad-band imaging of V1318 Cygni reveals the presence of two distinct stellar components oriented north-south, a result recently reported by Aspin et al. ... The distribution of the high density molecular gas traced by the CS J emission is highly concentrated around V1318 and V1686 Cygni, while the total column density of gas traced by the J shows a ridge morphology centered on these sources. ... A molecular outflow has been detected in CO J . ...

... We have generated high resolution maps by using standard spherical harmonics expansion for the CMB fluctuations and by extrapolating available full sky maps to predict the Galaxy emission at frequencies and angular scales appropriate to the PLANCK space mission. ... Beam responses are typically not symmetric when they are coupled to a telescope to reach high resolutions, whereas theoretical predictions and standard deconvolution methods generally assume pure symmetric beams. ...
