ON THE IMPACT OF THE GALACTIC ABERRATION ON VLBI-DERIVED PRECESSION MODEL Z.M. MALKIN Pulkovo Observatory Pulkovskoe Ch. ... Corrections to adopted precession rate are usually computed from the linear trends in long-term time series of celestial pole offset (CPO), which are the differences between the measured and the theoretical coordinates of the celestial pole. ... CONCLUSIONS We have estimated the impact of GA on parameters of precession-nutation model derived from VLBI observations. ...

A determination of the surface gravity and an abundance analysis of helium in a sample of 17 He-rich and 5 normal, reference stars is presented. ... The helium abundances derived from the models used are very close to 0.1 for normal, reference stars are larger for the others, clearly indicating the He-rich phenomenon in them. NLTE effects, errors on the microturbulence value or on the surface gravity do not influence the estimated helium abundances. ...

... The improvement will be more pronounced in our crowded Wide Field Camera (WFC) images, and may be increased further through use of a more sophisticated method of combining the individual dithered images. Our analysis allows us to check for point spread function shape variations in the HST Planetary Camera (PC) field. ... In crowded field images, we are deriving information about the faint end of the luminosity function (LF) from the texture of the image background. ...
