... The described algorithm is suitable for measurements of complex images of stars. ... a) the zero-based number of stars in the complex (multicentric) image, . b) set of preliminary coordinates - x i , y i , for all stars, index i is number of a star, . ... i - index of a star in the complex image; . ... These parameters are calculated by a nonlinear method of a least squares.The main output parameters of this algorithm are x i , y i ; where the index i is number of a star in the multicentric image. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... Based on a previously compiled catalog of fundamental astrophusical parameters for nearby disk F stars (containing, in particular, metallicity, isochronal ages, and space-velocity components), with were derived from published astrometric data, the Galactic orbital elements were calculated for 1630 stars. ... The radial and vertical metallicity gradients were found for mixed-age stars and for a few narrow age ranges. ...

. Quantum clock (atomic clock) - the time measuring device containing quartz generator, controlled by the quantum frequency standard . Atoms play a role of pendulum. The frequency of atoms radiation while the atoms passing from one energy level to another regulates the quantum clock. This frequency is so stable (error 10^-11 - 10^-13) that quantum clocks allow to calculate the time more exactly, then astronomic methods. Back .

... Maps of six sources (0420+022, 0420-014, 1308+326, 1345+125, 1803+784, and DA 193) obtained with milliarcsecond resolution are presented and discussed, together with their broadband (1­22 GHz) spectra obtained on the RATAN­600 radio telescope at epochs close to those of the VLBI observations. ... The image (Fig. 5) shows that the source structure at 18 cm is compact, consisting of a VLBI core and two jet components, with the outer component lying 5 mas (30 pc) to the northwest of the core ( = 54 ). ...
