All the objects in the database, galaxies, stars, clusters, ..., are indexed with their pgc number. Historically, the pgc numbering was created to unify the names of the galaxies when the database project started in 1983. ... Still, all the objects in the database (about 5 millions) have a pgc number which is used as a unique identification across the different tables. This number should not be used to build a name , since it would not be recognized by any database, including HyperLeda. ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...

Keep the size of the tarfile to a minimum by excluding files that can be recreated from files contained in the tarfile. Examples are: .o (object) files that can be recreated by compiling the program source code.dvi files produced by processing TeX and LaTeX source files.ps (postscript) files generated by drawing and publishing packages. After you have created a tarfile, you can then reduce its size by using the compress command. ... This will create a file called project.tar.Z . ...

... The project assumes creation of an international space observatory - the interferometer "Earth - Space - Space" in order to perform of astronomical investigations in millimeter, submillimeter and infrared regions with extremely high sensitivity (to a few nanoJanskies units of flux density in continuum spectrum) and extremely high angular resolution (to a parts of microsecond of arc or, possibly, nanosecond). ... radio-interferometric channels of the system "Space - Space", region 0.2 - 3 mm; . ...
