... The second step is to inspect the data, to define a set of criteria to select the science frames and their associated calibration frames, and to use the MIDAS Data Organizer to do the selection and to create the Association Table. ... Table: Example of an Association Table . ... For example, one can require that in the calibration process of frame susi0099.bdf the master bias susi_124_125.bdf is to be used, i.e. the bias frames associated with the science frames susi0097.bdf and susi0098.bdf . ...

... Luminous blue variable (LBV) stars are the most massive stars with 40-120 solar masses, which are passing the short stage of evolution losing their hydrogen envelopes before exploding as Supernovae. These are extremely rare objects, only about a dozen of the most massive LBVs are known in the Galaxy. ... In the spectral observations of stars with infrared circular nebulae, found in the Spitzer survey (24 microns), a new LBV star in the Galaxy was discovered. It was named MN112. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...
