... Spacecraft that will search for planetary systems around 40 million stars and observe the largest explosions in the universe have been chosen as the next two missions in NASA's medium-class Explorer (MIDEX) program. ... The first mission, to be launched in 2003, is the Swift Gamma Ray Burst Explorer, a three-telescope space observatory for studying gamma ray bursts. ... During its three-year mission, Swift will also survey the sky for new black holes and other sources of cosmic gamma rays. ...

General Information . ... The conference is organized by the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) of Moscow University and the IAU Working group "Site-testing Instruments" . ... Use of site data in telescope operation and adaptive optics. ... Recent conferences on this subject (2007, 2008) demonstrated great interest of the community, hence the need for a new meeting. ... Unlike previous recent conferences, this meeting will cover all aspects of site monitoring for optical/IR astronomy. ...

... Structure of Data . ... Catalog . ... In SAI OCL Catalog, we introduce our work on investigation of the Milky Way system of open star clusters. The main goal of our study is a search for new clusters using huge surveys. 168 new clusters have been already discovered by us using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS point source catalog. ... For 141 new clusters, we found their physical parameters using J,H,Ks data from 2MASS catalog and, for a number of clusters, our UBVRI CCD observational magnitudes. ...

(a) - This NRH image is adapted to show a very bright loop-like source over AR 7321 near the SW-limb identified with the X1.7 soft X-ray LDE event peaked on 30d at 17:30 UT (see the GOES-7 soft X-ray plot also at the upper right corner). ... Here and hereafter, the white features are radio filaments. (c) - This modified NRH image shows some large scale microwave blob chains and structures. ...

. Comment on J0431+2037 . A Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) galaxy with complex radio structure on the scale of 10 to 100 mas (combined EVN+MERLIN data at 1.6 GHz, Dallacasa et al. 1995). Our image is consistent with the center-southern features of Dallacasa et al. (1995). The northern feature, ~180 mas N-NW from the field center, outside the boundary of the displayed image, can barely be seen in our data. VLBApls home page . Last modified: 16 Oct 2000
