GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ... Since September 1994, GRANAT is in the survey mode. ... Explore pages devoted to individual GRANAT instruments (including main scientific results): . ...

Abstract -- Abundances of heavy elements decreases with increasing galactocentric distance almost in all disk galaxies. ... To explain this gradient in young objects and in the interstellar gas one has to assume that a typical disk galaxy is an open system, i.e. it expels some synthesized heavy elements into the circumgalactic space and/or accretes intergalactic gas with zero metallicity, with rates of both processes depending on the galactocentric distance. ...

. Computer Ephemeris. Elements of osculating planetary orbits. Explanations. Each row contains at 0h of Time Dynamical Terrestrial of specified date in system of mean equator and ecliptic J2000.0 the ecliptic osculating elements of heliocentric orbit: inclination of orbital plane (degrees), longitude of ascending node (degrees), argument of perigelion (degrees), semimajor axis (astronomical units), mean motion (degrees per day), eccentricity (dimensionless), mean anomaly (degrees).

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...
