The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO clustering evolution in the non-linear and linear regimes and hence obtain new limits on the value of and the bias parameter, (3) to apply a powerful geometric method to measure . ...

I was born on April 12, 1958, in Moscow, USSR, and I have a Russian nationality. I graduated the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1981, obtained there my Ph.D.degree in 1984 (the topic of the dissertation: "Stellar populations and evolution of galaxies") and a degree of Doctor of Physical-Mathematical Sciences in 1994 (the dissertation "Stellar population of galactic nuclei"). Since 1984 I hold a permanent position at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Moscow). ...

... During all period of our investigations Dr. N.Sumzina from the Institute of Applied Astronomy of RAS had prepared the Numbered Minor Planet positions from MPC Database for our processing with kind permission of the Director of Minor Planet Center Prof. Braian Marsden. ... Our extensive processing of the MPC data allows us to conclude that CCD observations of the Numbered and Unnumbered Minor Planets have the errors, sometimes very crude. ...
