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 . ...

... We present new progress in our extensive pro ject mCPod (On­line database of photometric observations of magnetic CP stars), which was initiated five and a half years ago (Mikulґ et. al, 2007). ... The database consists of two parts, the Data and the References. In the References one finds the sources of data, the bibcodes including links to the corresponding papers, names of comparison and check stars (if available), the number of observations in individual filters (see Fig. ...

... Using the uvby -photometry and proper motion data for about 5500 F stars within 80 pc from the Sun, we have studied velocity ellipsoid parameters and obtained the following results. 1) The sizw of all wllipsoid semiaxes increase systematically for groups of stars with the decrease of both temperature (at constant metallicity) and metallicity (at constant temperature). ... As a result, each of the three parameters - temperature, metallicity and velocity dispersion - is an age indicator. ...

... 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 ...

Microsymposium 38, MS085, 2003 (A4 format) REMOTE DETERMINATION OF LUNAR SOIL MATURITY. ... Shevchenko et al. [6, 7], and Pinet et al. [8] developed the method to determine the maturity of lunar soil by using spectropolarimetric ratio Pmax(B)/Pmax(R) for blue (B) and red (R) spectral regions. On the basis of known laboratory results and telescopic data, it was found that ratio Pmax(419nm)/Pmax(641nm) could be used as a remote sensing parameter of lunar soil maturity. ...
