... Intervening dark matter , which is normally invisible, might show its presence by distorting images originating in the distant universe , much the way an old window distorts images originating on the other side. By noting the degree to which background galaxies appear unusually flat and unusually similar to neighbors, the dark matter distribution producing these weak gravitational lensing distortions can be estimated. ...

... The WFPC2 CCDs have a small b ut significant charge transfer efficiency (CTE) problem which causes some signal to be lost when charge is transferred down the chip during readout. This has the effect of making objects at higher row numbers (more charge transfers) appear fainter than they would if they were at low row numbers. The effect depends on the temperature of the CCDs. ... It is also possible that proportional losses for fainter stars, at least with no background, may be larger. ...

... There are several explanations for these X--ray quiet PMS stars. To examine the explanations, it is proper to divide the PMS stars into three groups: those bluer than R - I = 0.7, those redder than the X--ray sources (R - I > 1.25) and those with colors similar to the X--ray sources. ... A total of 26 of the non--X--ray detected PMS candidates had spectra taken. ... Between V=14 and V=16, I find 25 stars which are X--ray sources and estimate 19 non--X--ray PMS stars. ...
