Application of IVOA software tools for radio sources investigation Zhelenkova O., Kopylov A., Chernenkov V. The interrelationship between the objects of astronomical catalogs in the different ranges of electromagnetic spectrum and their association into the real astrophysical source has obvious scientific interest. ... We used NVSS as the reference coordinate catalog. ... For 60% of radio sources identified with the objects of the radio catalogs we discovered optical candidates in SDSS survey. ...

... Early studies of PMS stars focused on T associations, especially Taurus-Auriga. However, one might expect low mass star formation to be different in OB associations. ... He identified Orion OB1a as the stars northwest of the belt. Orion OB1b is composed of the stars near the belt, including the belt stars and Orionis. ... He finds no perceptible distance change within the Orion OB1b association and finds the distance modulus to be 7.8 and 7.9 for Orion OB1a and OB1b respectively. ...

A statistical method for the evaluation of the probable amount of interlopers included in the most recently identified asteroid families is developed. ... An application to the most important families listed by Zappal\`a \etal\ {\bf [1995, Icarus in press]} allows to derive the probable amount of interlopers at different size ranges. ... The procedure developed in this paper allows to assess ``how many'' interlopers are probably included in the nominal member lists, but not ``which ones''. ...

. I joined NAIC staff in December 1992 via NFRA (Netherlands) and IISc/JAP (India). The topics of my current research include: . (1) Search for Neutral hydrogen in the host galaxies of AGNs at different redshifts. (2) Physical nature and spatial distribution of the ionized component of the interstellar matter. (3) Physics of compact extragalactic radio sources. I am a member of the VLBI group and the Friend of VLBI observations at the observatory. 2008 EVN sessions are here. Tapasi Ghosh .

It is possible to incorporate in the SAS software packages that are not part of the official SAS distribution. These we call 'external packages'. All that is needed is to set the environment variable SAS_PATH to point to all directories that contain SAS components, in the form of a colon-separated list. ... He will have to set the SAS_DIR and SAS_PATH environment variable and call the sas-setup script (preferably in a login script), e.g. (csh): setenv SAS_DIR /usr/sas . ...

Authors: V.A. Marsakov , T.V. Borkova , . ... It is shown that general populations of globular clusters and metal-poor field stars are components at least of three subsystems occupying different volumes in the Galaxy. The thick disk and proto-disk subsystems are genetically associated with the Galaxy. ... It is argued that heavy-element enrichment and the collapse of the proto-galactic medium occurred mainly in the period between the formation of the proto-disk halo and thick disk subsystems. ...
