... Contact A Problem of an estimation of accuracy of the asteroid CCD observations . The Minor Planet Center supported by the Interntional Astronomical Union is the main office for keeping observational data of the small Solar System bodies and their investigations. ... At Pulkovo Observatory we are estimating an accuracy of the CCD asteroid observations obtained by amateurs and professional astronomers all over the World using the MPC database. ...

... Gaseous discs in NGC 252 and in NGC 4513 have decoupled kinematics, and the ionized gas of their rings is certainly excited by young stars. ... Two other, quite isolated S0 galaxies with the UV rings, IC 522 and NGC 446, demonstrate the shock-dominated gas excitation in the UV-detected rings, so their rings may probably have impact origin. ... NGC 4513. ... The UV rings in isolated galaxies IC 522 and NGC 446 may represent the consequences of central impact by a satellite from a highly inclined...

Received 2010 February 01; in original form 2009 August 14 ABSTRACT To compare photometric properties of galaxies at different redshifts, the fluxes need to be corrected for the changes of effective rest-frame wavelengths of filter bandpasses, called K -corrections. ...
