... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

... The evolution of a binary system is considered as a sequence of stages the duration of which are defined by the shortest evolutionary time-scale of one of the binary components (see the list of the evolutionary states of stars in Sections 3 and 4). ... Then the code finds a new stage the binary should transit to, with this stage being determined by the evolutionary states of both components, and calculates it. ... However, one can use the algorithm described above to model their evolution. ...

Electronic Catalogue of Comets "Halley" . ... In this paper we give a description of the Electronic Catalogue of Comets "Halley", which makes it possible to calculate the evolution of the orbits of comets, to visualize orbital motion, to determine the circumstances of a comet's close approach to planets within a given time interval, as well as a number of other opportunities. ...

... 2006: . ... Components of the systems are low mass stars and white dwarfs. For 14 pairs orbit parameters were calculated and masses and luminosities of components were determined for the first time. ... As a result of a multifrequency monitoring of the variability of a micro quasar Cyg X-3 (X-ray binary system which probably consists of a black hole and a high mass Wolf-Rayet star) a high activity period was registered for the first time in the last 4 years. ...

We present results of new Monte Carlo calculations made with the DIRTY code of radiative transfer of stellar and scattered radiation for a dusty giant late-type galaxy like the Milky Way, which illustrate the effect of the attenuation of stellar light by internal dust on the integrated photometry of the individual bulge and disk components. ... In addition, we find that the structure of the dusty ISM affects more sensitively the observed magnitudes than the observed colors of both bulge and disk. ...
