Next: Period Determination . Period Analysis The combination of the X--ray and photometric observations have produced two samples of low mass PMS stars. At the time that the stars were monitored for rotational modulation, their photometric and spectroscopic properties were not yet known. ... By measuring the rotational periods of the stars in the two samples, one can separate out the effects of age on the rotation period from those of other factors such as mass.

... A complication to transforming from CHIPCOORD to sky coordinates is that the spacecraft attitude is never completely fixed, thus the exact transform varies with time. ... Each chip image is subjected to multiple transforms, one per attitude bin; the output image consists of a weighted sum of these transformed images, the weights being proportional to the duration of each attitude bin (but see also section 3.2 below). ... It may for example be unwise to make OOTE sky maps this way. ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ... Two point observation of the magnetopause motion: the INTERBALL project. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...
