... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

... 2015 . ... Observations using the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) planetary radar system started in 1976 and its power and sensitivity were greatly improved with the telescope upgrade and Gregorian-dome installation in the mid-1990s. Below, we show the number of near-Earth asteroids attempted and detected since the radar program resumed in 1998. ... The number of NHATS objects detected with Arecibo similarly jumped in 2012, and 2015 was again a record year, where we detected 23 of these objects. ...

... The Workshop is dedicated to QCD Phase Transitions and observational signals of these Transitions related to formation of compact astrophysical objects. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on the problems of the behavior and observability of matter under critical conditions achievable in such astrophysical objects as 'strange' or 'hybrid' stars and in laboratories at heavy-ion collisions to discuss fundamental issues and recent developments. ...
