... We present a catalogue of 782 compact radio sources in the declination range 0 o < Delta(B1950) < +20 o whose positions have been measured to an rms accuracy of about 14~mas with the VLA. These sources are primarily intended for use as phase calibration sources for the Jodrell Bank MERLIN. ... Col 1. Source name derived from B1950 coordinates. ... Source name derived from J2000 coordinates. ... Total flux density in mJy at 8.4~GHz. ... Comments about the source, mainly regarding structure. ...

... The ROSAT Bright Survey: II. Catalogue of all high-galactic latitude RASS sources with PSPC countrate CR > 0.2 s -1 . ... 1S We present a summary of an identification program of the more than 2000 X-ray sources detected during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (Voges et al. 1999) at high galactic latitude, |b| > 30degr , with countrate above 0.2 s -1 . This program, termed the ROSAT Bright Survey RBS, is to more than 99.5% complete. ...

... We present the results of an ongoing survey of cool, late­type supergiants -- the descendants of massive O and B­type stars -- that has systematically detected magnetic fields in these stars using spectropolarimetric observations obtained with the ESPaDOnS at the Canada­France­Hawaii Telescope. Our observations reveal detectable, often complex Stokes V Zeeman signatures in the Least­Squares Deconvolution mean line profiles in a significant fraction of the observed sample of 30 stars. ...
