It is supported by 15 EU member states, including new member states, and thus integrates the entire European optical interferometry community. ...

... Satellites of the planets are assigned a provisional designation (indicating year of discovery) by the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams ( CBAT ) upon satisfactory demonstration of the existence of a new object. ... In the past, Comets were first given a provisional designation, consisting of the year and a lowercase letter indicating the order of discovery in the year (e.g., 1994a was the first comet discovered or recovered in 1994, 1994b the second, etc.) ... Names .. ...

... The reduction system of observations FADPS (description in Russian) (Flexible Astronomical Data Processing System) for data of wide-band receivers of the first observation cabin of the radio telescope RATAN-600 had been created under the Unix-like operational system DEMOS for computers of the SM-1420-type (PDP/11) in 1987 for observation analysis and estimates of coordinates and flux densities of radio sources. ... FADPS: flexible astronomical data processing system at RATAN-600 in UNIX environment....

Optical and UV Spectrophotometric Standard Stars . ... Apache Point expresses its thanks to J. R. Walsh and to ESO for allowing us to place a copy of these pages at Apache Point. ... Access to the standards is either through: . ... The data for the standard stars come from four sources: . ... Data for 23 stars based on IUE and optical spectra and calibrated by the primary WD standards. ... The data from which the plots were produced are also available by ftp access from the standard star pages. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...
