Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...

Operating of the superconducting integrated receiver channel of the TELIS atmospheric sounder. ... The noise temperature of the SIR was measured to be as low as 120 K, with an intermediate frequency band of 4 ­ 8 GHz in double sideband operation; the spectral resolution is well below 1 MHz. The SIR was implemented in the three-channel balloon-borne instrument TELIS (TErahertz and submillimeter LImb Sounder) that detects spectral emission lines of stratospheric trace gases (like ClO and BrO). ...

... The analysis shows, that asteroid ­ rubble pile loses its fast fragments in no time but the retaining fragments forms a compact structure immersed in dust ­ gas atmosphere, created by interaction of interplanetary medium with dispersed product of collisional evolution of asteroid. By interaction of an asteroid ­ rubble pile with interplanetary medium structures asteroid can increase its brightness on account of blowed up dust simulating phenomenon of distant comet's brightening. ...

... We present J(1.25 $\mic$), H(1.65 $\mic$), K(2.2 $\mic$), H$_2$(2.125 $\mic$) an d 11.2$\mic$ infrared images at sub-arcsec resolution of an area centered around the star forming region G~35.20--1.74. In J, H and K a cluster of early type stellar sources with infrared excess clearly stands out with respect to the background distribution and is associated with a diffuse K emission around an UC HII region (which is the brightest source at K). ... At 11.2$\mic$ six components are detected. ...

ABSTRACT: Both previous radiomessages for aliens, Arecibo 1974 and Evpatoria 1999 (see http://ebe.allwebco.com/Science for details) were the logical ones and represented the binary stream of FM information, which should be arranged into two-dimensional forms to perceive by eye-like sense-organ. ... So, I suggest to implement the 1st Theremin Concert for Aliens from Arecibo or Evpatoria Radar facility. ... The theremin was invented 80 years ago, in 1920 by Leon Theremin. ...
