We gathered 37 new spectra of the B star 53 Persei spread over approximately 2 years. On these data, we performed a frequency and a mode analysis. ... We also analysed the 110 photometric observations of the Hipparcos satellite. Our results show the presence of the two frequencies often quoted in the literature nu_1 = 0.461 c/d, nu_2 = 0.594 c/d and a third frequency nu_3 = 0.471 c/d which was first proposed by Mills Dukes (1994). ...

Hubble Observations Shed New Light on Jupiter Collision . Was it a comet or an asteroid? ... Their initial findings, combined with results from other space-borne and ground-based telescopes, shed new light on Jupiter's atmospheric winds, its immense magnetic field, the mysterious dark debris from the impacts, and the composition of the doomed comet itself. ... Hubble's ultraviolet observations show the motion of very fine impact debris particles now suspended high in Jupiter's atmosphere. ...

... Suspected G36.6-0.7 has the spectral index -0.8, it seems to be a background extragalactic source because the spectral index is too steep for SNR. ... During the last years the RATAN-600 has been used to carry out a new survey of the Galactic plane at 960 and 3900 MHz from l=342^o to l=19^o, |b| < 5.5^o, to search for new SNRs and to study the SNRs that have just been detected. Column (1) lists Galactic notation names of the new and well--known SNRs from Green's catalog; . ...

In the Table below the masses of some asteroids which were determined during the last years are listed. ... The listed values were determined from observations of many test bodies by the weighted least square fit for one perturbing mass and corrections to the orbit elements of all used test bodies. ... based on the observations of 98 asteroids (including 50278) with the values of standard error of mass determination less than 3.0 10 -11 M Sun . ...

These data help us to analyse an accuracy of real CCD positions in the MPC Database. ... Do you test your observations of the small Solar System bodies permanently before sending them to the International Minor Planets' Center? ... Do you know a real accuracy of your positional CCD-observations in comparison with the other observatories' one ? ...

... Old World First Asteroid Radar Echo. ... It testifies that 4179 Toutatis is a double object like asteroid 4769 Castalia. ... Interference of Radar Echo from the Binary Asteroid 4179 Toutatis. ... An analysis of the 6-cm radar data revealed quasi-harmonic oscillation of the echo’s “central” Doppler frequency with a period of about 14 sec and a deviation of about (0.7*B) Hz, where B is the echo bandwidth, which for 4179 Toutatis was equal to 2.1 Hz and 1.9 Hz for 1992 Dec 8 and 9, respectively. ...

... What is the notion time? ... Generally speaking, it is an order of changing events, an order of constantly changing conditions of solids, Universe - being. ... The time, determined for the given longitude, is called the local time . ... A uniform system of time counting - ephemeris time is tested by observations of the Moon turning around the Earth. Fully independent from astronomic observation uniform system of the time counting is based on the concept of atomic second (see quantum watches ). ...

Next: Navigation Pre-Observation Products . ... SRT (Space Radio Telescope) Schedule (SRS) File . ... What: GOCG generates the Space Radio Telescope (SRT) schedule file, or SRS file, from current GSTS file. The SRS file has more precise time stamps than long-term schedules, and also designates which GTS will be used when. ... The SRS file also serves as the antenna pointing schedule file, as it describes the planned orientation of the spacecraft (and solar panels) as a function of time. ...

... The most precisely determined characteristic for accreting neutron stars (NS's) is their period. ... Period changes show fluctuations. ... Some applications of stochastic processes in astrophysics especially in accreting systems were discussed in Lipunov (1987),Hoshino Takeshima (1993) and Lipunov (1992).In Hoshino Takeshima (1993) the authors, using simple models of MHD turbulence, try to explain aperiodic changes in X-ray luminosity of X-ray pulsars. ...

... XRB SEDs | ... By using RXTE to determine the spectral state of a system we intend to generate SEDs using data that may have been taken at different times but were taken at similar X-ray states. Due to its all-sky coverage and long operational time, the RXTE/ASM instrument provides unparalled information on the spectral states: an ideal jumping-off point for studying time-dependent properties of X-ray binaries. ... Blue arrows designate X-ray observation times. ...

... This step is done mostly interactively and uses some basic ad-hoc IDL procedures, mainly for testing and checking of the consistency of the results.Once the observations have been selected and the count spectra extracted, the available spectra of each background level are accumulated. ... Average QUALITY such that QUALITY =0|1 Exposure times are added and the total is written in the EXPOSURE keyword of the header of the output FITS file. Finally, the CCFs are built from these templates. ...

... Based on the measurements of the Stokes parameters in the continuum and in the broad 0.6563 nm hydrogen emission line obtained with the 6-m telescope for the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 6, secular variability of the hydrogen line profile polarization was discovered; a time lag of less than 2 days between the continuum flux and the polarized continuum emission was determined which corresponds to the size of the region where the polarization of the continuum occurs, less than 0.001 pc. ...
