Prague, August 16, 2006 . Another problem that was making it difficult to automatically merge GCVS and survey catalogs has been recently solved: “old” variable stars also had only very rough coordinates. The GCVS has been identified, on a star-by-star basis, with positional catalogs. ... The total number of stars we were unable to identify, at least tentatively, is only 200, most of them from two or three sources of especially unreliable positional information. ...

... A Bubble in Cygnus . 13.11.2008 . Adrift in the rich star fields of the constellation Cygnus, this lovely, symmetric bubble nebula was only recently recognized and may not yet appear in astronomical catalogs. ... The region's spidery appearance is responsible for its popular name, the Tarantula nebula, except that this tarantula is about 1,000 light-years across, and 180,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Dorado.

... 1Haynes+ A catalogue at 5 GHz of 915 sources in the Galactic plane is presented. Sources with a peak beam brightness temperature of at least 0.2 K above the surrounding background are included, except in confused regions; a point source of 0.2 K corresconds to 0.26 Jy. ... It was assumed that Hydra A was a point source with a peak flux density of 13 Jy at 5 GHz; this is equivalent to a mean beam brightness temperature of 10.0 K for a beamwidth of 4.1x4.4'. ...

... More recently, I have been concerned with observing masers located in the circumstellar shells generated by red giant stars in their mass-loss phase, and in what we can therefore learn about the late stages of stellar evolution. 100 mJy are now undetectable after ~12 years, aka the DEATH of an OH/IR star or its cyclical evolution back to a Mira variable. ... I find that this momentum flux is sufficient to support the largest observed rates of AGB mass-loss. last updated: 14 January 2015 . ...
