The revision of the MASS/DIMM star catalogue N. Shatsky, V. Kornilov March 16, 2008 Abstract The compilation of the (updated) version of the MASS (MASS/DIMM) device target catalogue is described. ... Then the list was cleaned according to following criteria: I. Remove stars too faint for a MASS device. ... Here the color equation of the Sternb erg device was taken: M AS S mag = V mag + 0.45 (B - V ); stars with M AS S mag > 3.2 were removed. ... This was made based on the GCVS4.2 catalogue data. ...

This artistically modified image of the local galaxy Arp 220, captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, helps illustrate the Herschel results. The bright core of the galaxy, paired with an overlaid artist's impression of jets emanating from it, indicate that the central black hole's activity is intensifying. As the active black hole continues to rev up, the rate of star formation will, in turn, be tamped down in the galaxy. ...

. Comment on J0620-3711 . No detection: our non-detection is compatible with the results of Jones, McAdam & Reynolds (1994) with Parkes-Tidbinbilla two-element interferometer, who measured a compact core with S(2.3GHz)<30 mJy and S(8.4GHz)=15 mJy (alpha>-0.54).

... The change in the temperature dependence of the resistance, R ( T ), of ceramic YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 - x as oxygen is removed from the sample has been studied. The superconducting transition temperature shifts progressively downward in the process. ... The temperature dependence of the resistivity, ( T ), is linear, with a progressively increasing slope, only at T > 400 K. It is suggested that oxygen condenses on Cu-O chains at T 400 K.
