... The stars examined here were primarily culled from two lists of X--ray sources in Orion. ... The second region is two degrees in extent east--west and ten degrees north--south with Orionis being near the northern edge. ... In the end, two main regions were chosen for monitoring: stars near Orionis and stars northwest of the belt of Orion. ... The PSPC identified 22 sources within 15 of Orionis in addition to the sources listed in Table 1 , giving a total of 85 X--ray sources in the Orionis region. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

To check this option one needs a detailed map of the NGC 4244 velocity field including HS 1214+3801. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...

We are investigating how this interaction effects galaxy evolution in general as well as the feedback effect of the radio source on its host galaxy and AGN. ... One direct observational manifestation of this interaction is the existence of extended regions of emission-line gas which show a clear spatial relationship to the radio source itself. ...

. Comment on J0126-0123 . No detection: this object has been studied with the Molonglo telescope at 408 MHz (Schilizzi & McAdam 1975) as a source with a size between 2 and 5 . It is near an Abell cluster (Owen & Ledlow 1997). The data could be confused with a strong radio source (3C 40) identified with a pair of galaxies at z=0.018, 170" from our field center.
