. In an effort to provide a centralized database for indexing locations and descriptions of Shuttle debris, the editors of Astronomy Net have generated a database and web page where reports can be logged. This may or may not prove useful for cataloging debris reports, but Astronomy Net is happy to dedicate computer resources to help out any way possible. We express our sympathy and prayers to the families and friends of the Columbia crew. If you have located Shuttle debris, report it here.

The Ryle Telescope was used for some years for monitoring variable sources (in addition to its role in source-surveys related to the Sunyaev-Zeldovitch studies). The instrument is now transformed into the "AMI large array": see the AMI pages for details. ... The rebuild took place between 2006 June and mid-2008; between these dates there is no useful data available. ... For some sources there are many plots, organised by date: . ...

... There is no question about the source of ionospheric plasma , since it is created from the ambient neutral atmosphere by ionization. However, the source of magnetospheric plasma is a much more complicated question: although it seems obvious that both solar wind and ionosphere feed it, the relative importance of these two sources is unclear. ... Protons (H + ) are the primary ions in solar wind and one of the major components in ionospheric outflows, and thus not good indicators of their source. ...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...

The results of a search for ultrarapid variability of galactic water maser sources at the wavelength 1.35 cm on a timescale of several minutes to 1 h are reported. A special observational technique was developed. ... Among those, several sources that have shown such variability were found. ... Clear evidence for such a variability type was found in at least two sources: W49N and W33B. Variability of this kind displays itself only in certain states of the water masers. ...
