We report MIPS photometry of 20 radio-loud quasars and galaxies at 24 and 70 ЮМm (and of five at 160 ЮМm). We combine this sample with additional sources detected in the far-infrared by IRAS and ISO for a total of 47 objects, including 23 steep-spectrum type I AGNs: radio-loud quasars and broad-line radio galaxies; and 24 type II AGNs: narrow-line and weak-line FR II radio galaxies. ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

... We have started a programme of observations of nearby starburst and AGN galaxies with MICHELLE, with the aim of investigating the spatial extent of "Unidentified Infrared Bands (UIB)" emission in these galaxies, and in particular relating these to multi-frequency matched resolution radio maps. ... The spatially integrated MICHELLE spectrum of NGC 7469 in the 8 - 11.5µm range shows an equivalent width of 11.3µm UIB feature which is much smaller then measured by ISO. ...

In Tables 2 and 3 we give some general parameters, line intensities and equivalent widths for 142 galaxies with the detected emission lines. We summarize data in Table 4 for the rest 44 galaxies where we have not detected emission lines (in the blue part of the spectrum). ... Quasar CG 273 . ...

As an example for an observation of a stellar corona, a simulation of the response of RGS was performed. The input spectrum was a two component Mewe-Kaastra plasma, with solar abundance, and temperatures of 0.35 and 2 keV. ... The following image shows an intensity display of the measured spectrum with dispersion coordinate as measured in the spatial dimension on the RGS Focal Camera (RFC) along the abscissa, and the energy response of the CCDs along the ordinate. ...

... It?s needs solution satellite?s orientation problem for defining location of sources of ionospheric emissions above Earth?s surface with necessary accuracy. There is possibility to define orientation of photometric devices by using TV images of star background. The CCD TV camera is designed for recording of images of star sky, Earth? limb and adjoining part of Earth? surface to fix the orbit point coordinates during the measurements by FAGOT and SICH-F devices. ...

... To determine a lower limit to the sensitivity of current observations to measurements of NS surface temperatures, we have used data from the Einstein Slew Survey (Elvis et al. 1990) to establish temperature limits for 275 pulsars which received nonzero exposure during the survey. ... Filled squares correspond to pulsars actually detected in the survey data; the smaller symbols correspond to upper limits to the count rates. ...

... We will consider the rms, (K), for observations with a receiver of system temperature, T , frequency resolution, per polarization, and total integration time per observing cycle, . ... For ``in-band'' frequency switching, the line under investigation is always in the observing band. ... Position Switching or ``Out-of-Band'' Frequency Switching: Here the line is only observed for one half of the time, with noise being present all of the time. ...

The tools have been developed for ESO by a team of astronomers at the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, as part of an in-kind contribution to ESO , which includes as well a model of the sky emission and transmission spectrum at Cerro Paranal. ... Skycorr provides an advanced instrument-independent sky-correction tool that removes sky emission in science spectra by means of sky spectra taken at a different time and sky location....

... One striking feature is a small source of almost pure H 2 line emission, which is located near one of the compact sources in Orion reported by O'Dell and collaborators (HST-18 = 203-504). ...

Observation and modelling of main sequence star chromospheres. ... We compare our calculations to recent high res­ olution observations for selected stars in a narrow spectral range ((R­I) џ =0.875\Sigma0.05); we show that Hff line profiles behave as expected, with a tight correlation be­ tween the line width and equivalent width. ...
