SITE 2010 Comprehensive Characterization of Astronomical Sites Kislovodsk, Russia, 49 October 2010 Conference Summary Marc S. Sarazin*a a European Southern Observatory, Garching, Germany Abstract The main topics discussed during the Site 2010 conference are outlined and the outcome is described. Keywords: Astronomical Site testing, precipitable water vapor, atmospheric turbulence, cloudiness, seeing 1. ... Site surveys for National observatory projects in China, India, and Iran benefit from this. ...

... Since GCVS IV, there was no new GCVS edition. ... Main reasons for the automatic-survey new variables remaining outside the GCVS for a long time:  different level of detail of the classification systems, no perfect software for automatic classification available;  individual approach to each star that was always used in the GCVS cannot be applied any longer, but the experience of automatically- updated catalogs evidences for the number of errors ...

... New technique measures mass of exoplanets . ... Now, scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new technique for determining the mass of exoplanets using only their transmission spectra dips in light as a planet passes in front of its star. ... To determine the mass of an exoplanet using transmission spectroscopy, de Wit relied on the effect that a planet s mass has on its atmosphere, as transmission spectra give information on a planet s atmospheric properties. ...

The possibility of continuing the exploitation of the complex in the conditions of the inevitable obsolescence and depreciation of the on-board equipment providing the achievement of the necessary level of safety has been one of the most important and always controlled problems during all the term of exploitation of the complex Mir. ... The technical condition of the complex Mir gives the opportunity to continue its exploitation in a piloted mode till 2002 and more....

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 . ...

... Захаров А. Ф. It is generally accepted now that there is a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center. ... Observations of trajectories of bright stars at the Galactic Center in IR band have been done with an enormous precision. ... We review theoretical studies and their links with observations to get constraints on parameters of the Galactic Center potential and as a result to evaluate parameters of the black hole and distributions of stellar cluster and dark matter near the black hole. ...
