Extracting spectra from a large number of NICMOS grism images requires a convenient interactive tool which allows a user to manipulate direct/grism image pairs. ... The direct image is used to locate objects of interest, to find the position of the appropriate spectra in the grism image, to determine the optimal extraction technique to use, and to calibrate the wavelength range of the extracted spectra. ...

... The metal abundance gradient in the disk of the Galaxy is found from stars with abundance determination from detailed analysis: d[Fe/H]/dR=(-0.05?0.01) kpc -1 . It is shown that the gradient can be explained by the fact that the disk is constituted of two metallicity groups of stars with an abundance jump between the groups. ... По звездам с определениями [Fe/H] из детального анализа найден градиент металличности в диске Галактики: d[Fe/H]/dR=(-0.05?0.01) кпс -1 . ...

... Comparative study of Tl-2201 single crystals with T c =30 and 110 K by means of X-ray structural analysis and NMR. Abstract: . The crystal structure of a tetragonal single crystal of Tl-2201 with T c =30 K has been determined by the X-ray diffraction technique ( a = 3.8717(3), c = 23.224(3) Angstrom, space group I4/mmm, Z = 2). The chemical composition is found to be Tl 1.90(1) Cu 0.10(1) Ba 2 CuO 6.18(4) . ... Structural parameters of Tl-2201 cuprates with various T c have been compared. ...

The NICMOS team has devised a comprehensive program of observations of the Galactic Center. ... Data in hand give a first look at variability and a detailed look at the search for the tip of the main sequence will be discussed where NICMOS has demonstrated adequate sensitivity and photometric precision to identify likely O8-B1 stars at the Galactic Center. ...

We present an extinction analysis of sight lines selected from all public FUSE observations of Galactic O and B stars. Over 90% of Milky Way extinction curves sampled from IR through UV wavelengths (UV coverage provided by IUE) conform to the CCM family of curves based on R(V), a single parameter linked to grain size (Cardelli, Clayton, Mathis 1989, ApJ, 345, 245; Valencic, Clayton, Gordon 2004, ApJ, 616, 912). ...

... Suspected G36.6-0.7 has the spectral index -0.8, it seems to be a background extragalactic source because the spectral index is too steep for SNR. ... During the last years the RATAN-600 has been used to carry out a new survey of the Galactic plane at 960 and 3900 MHz from l=342^o to l=19^o, |b| < 5.5^o, to search for new SNRs and to study the SNRs that have just been detected. Column (1) lists Galactic notation names of the new and well--known SNRs from Green's catalog; . ...

... Determination of Black Hole Masses via Correlations between their X-Ray Spectral and Timing Properties " . ... This fact strongly support our theoretically motivated idea that low frequency QPO for a particular BH state is inversely proportional to BH mass.Based on our scaling technique, we determine BH masses in H1743-322, GX 339-4, XTE J1650-500, XTE J1859-226, 4U 1543-47, 4U 1630-47, using independently known masses of XTE J1550-564, GRO J1655-40 and GRS 1915+105 as references. ...
