... The process of proposing for Hubble Space Telescope observing time has been revised, to make it simpler for proposers. We describe the simple, flexible, and robust prototype system created to handle proposal submission. ... Proposing for Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) observing time proceeds in two phases: the scientific merits of the proposal are considered in Phase I; only accepted proposals enter Phase II, where the observations are described in complete detail. ...

Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...

... 371Gregory Taylor . ... We persent a catalog of 1274 discrete sources detected during a 5 yr, 6 cm, radio-patrol survey of the galactic plane for variavle sources. ... Seventy-five percent of the sources are weaker than 75 mJy, and as a consequence reliable sources and 27 possible variables were detected, of which 64 % exhibited shirt-term variability. ... A comparison with previous centimeter variability studies suggests the possible existence of two distinnct variability components. ...

A Terra Hunting Experiment at the INT Rationale To detect smaller mass planets (down to 1Mе) using the radial velocity technique, we need to be able to retrieve a signal in the limit of stellar variability noise. ... Such an observing program is not feasible with a non-dedicated telescope. To address this, we are proposing a "Terra Hunting Experiment" to be performed using a close-copy of the HARPS spectrograph installed on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) in La Palma. ...

... During the analysis of the surveys carried out on RATAN-600, it was found that almost one fifth of the detected sources shows significant radio flux variations. ... We used the data from "Cold" radio surveys carried out with RATAN-600 in 1980-1994 to search for radio sources with significant flux variability. ...

The total radiative power output from the hot outer layers of six late-type stars (of different spectral types and luminosity class) is derived via an emission measure technique. This analysis was based on observational data from the spectral range 100A to 3000A obtained as a result of three separate satellite missions, i.e. Hubble Space Telescope, International Ultraviolet Explorer and the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer. ...
