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. ...

In other words, by far most meteorites falling on Earth are chondrites. Finds are meteorites that were not seen to fall but were subsequently discovered on the ground, often long after they landed. ... The vast majority of meteorites in museum and private collections around the world are finds, not falls. ...

Abstract: Spherical data appear in a lot of problems in modern science and technology, ranging from geoinformational systems to astronomical catalogues. Efficient handling of such data in Postgres is necessary, and Postgres do have support for it, though not in core, through its ability to define fully indexable custom data types and functional indices. ...
