Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 33 , No. ... I present the discovery of an eclipsing component in light variations of the known High-Amplitude Delta Scuti star GSC 1374-01131 based on the Catalina Surveys publicly available data. ... From a single night of their observations, the variable was classified as a HADS (High-Amplitude Delta Scuti) star, with the light elements: . ... The light curves of GSC 1374-01131 based on Catalina data, folded with periods of pulsations and eclipses. ...

The FGS as a Science Instrument . The FGS has two modes of operation: Position mode and Transfer mode. ... By sequentially observing other stars in a similar fashion, the relative angular positions of luminous objects are measured with a per-observation precision of about 1 mas over a magnitude range of 3.0 < V < 16.8. ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

It is shown that in this very general framework the well established anti-correlation between variability amplitude and wavelength can only be understood as an effect of an underlying spectral component which remains stable on long time-scales, and is redder than the variable component. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...
