... Judged by their instrumental profiles, spectrometers fall into two basic classes---Lorentzian and Gaussian---with many other line profile functions (sinc functions, Voigt functions, Airy functions, etc.) falling into one of these two categories in some limit. We demonstrate that the Rayleigh, Sparrow, and Houston resolution criteria are of limited use compared to the ``equivalent width'' of the line profile. ... Rayleigh criterion. ... All of these functions have continuous higher derivatives. ...

... The spectroscopic model of the source gives , the number of photons received per cm and per second at the earth, from sky position and at energy (differential per solid angle and energy). The number of photons, , detected (per second) in pixel and in PI energy bin centered at is obtained by multiplying by the effective area and applying the response matrix: . ...

This year, the Hubble Space Telescope may well have detected two further members of the Pluto system . Provisionally designated S/2005 P1 and S/2005 P2, the two potential new moons are seen orbiting in a counterclockwise direction about 44,000 kilometers (27,000 miles) from Pluto in these deep Hubble images recorded only three days apart. ...

This section of AMPLE makes it possible to find all those numbered minor planets which can be seen at the given moment in certain part of the sky (e.g. covered by photographic plate or by CCD frame), to calculate their coordinates and to display their mutual positions and diurnal motions. ... If the center of the mapped sky region is situated not far from the opposition point and its angular dimensions are not too great, positions of minor planets are found with account for perturbations. ...

... Despite the wide spread use of the terms MTF, CTF, limiting resolution, minimum resolvable target, and contrast to describe CCD image system quality, the terms are often misused and their relations are little understood. ... The modulation transfer function (MTF) is a Fourier transform of the line spread function i.e. its equivalent as an integral sum of sine waves taken over the whole range of spatial frequencies. MTF by its Fourier nature can only be used to operate on sinusoidal frequencies. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...

We inform the variable-star community that the publication of the "Peremennye Zvezdy" (Variable Stars) journal, founded by Prof. B.V. Kukarkin (1909 1977) in 1928, is planned to be resumed by November, 2005. Currently it is possible for us to publish "Peremennye Zvezdy" only as an electronic journal. ... The main journal will accept original scientific papers containing theoretical results as well as results based on detailed analysis of variable-star observations. ...
