... ABSTRACT We report on the first results obtained from a new optical identification program of 123 faint Xray sources with S(0.5--2 keV) ? 2 2 10 014 erg s 01 cm 02 serendipitously detected in ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. ... This evolution, coupled with the steep slope determined for the faint end of the Xray luminosity function (8(LX ) / L 01:9 X ), implies that such objects could comprise 15--35 per cent of the soft (12 keV) Xray background. ... 2 2 10 014 erg s 01 cm 02 . ...

... Therefore, in this galaxy, the optical emissionline spectrum generally exhibited by an active galactic nucleus is perhaps best sought using polarized light: probing for light scattered off material surrounding the central source. New polarimetry of NGC 4258 has uncovered a compact polarized nucleus whose spectrum consists of a faint blue continuum similar to those of unobscured quasars (F љ / љ \Gamma1:1 ), plus broadened (ё1000 km s \Gamma1 ) emission lines. ...

... Usually, the data are flagged in AIPS, and then imported into MIRIAD. Unlike AIPS , MIRIAD has some important user friendly features: o direct, seamless access to a unix shell o data formats --- real disk files which can be archived with UNIX tar (instead of relatively bizarre-ly named VMS files in AIPS ) o data analysis via shell scripts, freely mixing shell commands and miriad commands o command line editing and history (much like the T- ...
