News & Views There seems to be something very healthy about astronomical research when, under the same cover, an event which took place in 1333 AD (Leonid bursts as a resonance meteoroid component from Comet Temple/Tuttle) is discussed followed by a paper on how we might more effectively search for extraterrestrial intelligence (in the optical). In this issue we also have a further paper on young clusters (Praesepe) and the low end of the stellar mass function (see IAJ , 1999, 26(1), 17). ...

However it is only now that a number of important X-ray astronomical applications of CCDs have reached critical development stages, so that this is an appropriate time to review the application of space-borne CCD instruments to cosmic X-ray astronomy, and highlight the particular concerns which are being addressed for X-ray instruments, as distinct from optical applications. ...

... By means of deep optical images obtained at the Special Astrophysical Observatory 6-m telescope it was discovered that some Seyfert galaxies that were earlier considered to be non-interacting objects displayed signatures of elongated tidal envelopes belonging to satellite debris. ... Our results suggest that statistic studies based on popular imaging surveys (for example SDSS) can lead to an underestimation of the fraction of minor mergers among galaxies with active nuclei (AGN). ...
