Trail encounter . ... Expected meteor rates . ... The Leonids are the debris of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. ... The Earth's passage right through the centre of trails is associated with the most spectacular meteor displays (studies show that, as well as how close to the centre of the trail you are, the strength of the display also depends on how far along a trail's length you are). ... The encounter with the 1932 trail will lead to enhanced meteor activity: a nice outburst, but below storm level. ...

... From the peculiar shape of the light curve in the visible spectral region (a long phase interval of light constancy was observed by Hensberge et al. in 1981 ), HD 56022 had been expected to show unambiguously the nonequatorial symmetry of its surface brightness distribution. However, analysis of the light curve has yielded a possible equatorial position of a spot. ... A solution seems only possible, if the light constancy over the long phase interval in the visible is not observed in the UV. ...

Seventy-five percent of the sources are weaker than 75 mJy, and as a consequence reliable sources and 27 possible variables were detected, of which 64 % exhibited shirt-term variability. ... A comparison with previous centimeter variability studies suggests the possible existence of two distinnct variability components. ...

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ...

... We present the first results of an extensive near infrared survey of galactic and OH masers in high--luminosity star forming regions (SFR) aimed to see if there are near--infrared (NIR) sources directly associated with the masers. ... Although not in all sources there are high sensitivity--high resolution radio continuum observations, only few of the K--band/maser sources are closely associated with known ultracompact (UC) Hii regions. ...

... This thesis sets out to explain this observation by the presence of optical non-thermal synchrotron emission, connected with the relativistic jet that powers the radio emission in these quasars. ... We find that about 40% of the sources have power-law SEDs, while a similar number show evidence for two primary components: a blue power law and optical synchrotron emission. The blue power law is similar to the dominant component observed in the spectra of optically-selected QSOs. ...

... Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. ... We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis.
