... LABORATORY OF RADIO ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS . Radio sources identification is one of the most important tasks of the current radio astrophysics. ... Optical idetification. ... Optical identifications of subsample of steep spectra radio sources from RC catalog using 6m SAO telescope of SAO RAS: optical observations. ... Astronomy Reports. ... Identification of radio sources with data of various radio catalogs allows one to construct continual spectrum of the object and its radio structure. ...

... 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. ...

Next: Identifications and Efficiency Up: THE DEEP X-RAY RADIO Previous: Source Classification . ... For some sources which did not have NVSS positions before the time of optical observations, arcsecond positions from the Texas survey (Douglas et al. 1996) and NED (typically based on VLA data) were used. ... All X-ray/radio sources without counterparts on the survey plates were imaged at either the KPNO 0.9m or the CTIO 0.9m telescopes. ... Previously Identified Sources . Sample Properties . ...
