REPEATABILITY OF THE FOS G130H GRATING EXTERNAL WAVELENGTH ZEROPOINT ANURADHA KORATKAR and IAN EVANS Space Telescope Science Institute,3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218 Abstract. Measurements of the position of the geo­coronal Lyff are used to determine the repeata­ bility of the G130H grating and the external wavelength zeropoint for the first time since launch. ... The 1oe repeatability of the wavelength calibration is 0.159 љ A (0.64 pixels or 39 kms \Gamma1 ). ...

... The processing of these associated images presents new challenges to the HST data processing pipelines, which heretofore operated only on single images. ... Stage 1 (CALNICA) calibrates individual exposures without information from other members of the association. ... Stage 2 of calibration (CALNICB) only operates on associated images that have previously gone through CALNICA processing, and creates combined images for each distinct (non-overlapping) pointing within the association. ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

... Determining the nominal roll angle for stable intervals . ... We found the necessary information in a file 'rh*.ao', which has a binary extension table for each obi. ... Unlike the question of determining the nominal roll angle, we know of no a priori indication of this problem (although the guide star configuration may be the cause, or at least associated with this condition): it is necessary to examine the source position for each obi. ... The guide star record is at the end of the 'anc file'. ...

Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 33 , No. ... The new variable star HD 305629, with a Cepheid-like light curve, is demonstrated, from our optical observations and ASAS-3 data, to actually be an ellipsoidal variable star on a highly eccentric orbit. ... During a systematic search of variable stars in the publicly available ASAS-3 database (Pojmanski 2002), apparent variability was found in the star HD 305629 (10 51 34 35, -60 47 57 4, J2000.0; Fig. ...

... Based on the measurements of the Stokes parameters in the continuum and in the broad 0.6563 nm hydrogen emission line obtained with the 6-m telescope for the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 6, secular variability of the hydrogen line profile polarization was discovered; a time lag of less than 2 days between the continuum flux and the polarized continuum emission was determined which corresponds to the size of the region where the polarization of the continuum occurs, less than 0.001 pc. ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ... Two point observation of the magnetopause motion: the INTERBALL project. ...

... In collaboration with Drs Van Genderen (Leiden, Holland) and Sterken (Brussels, Belgium) papers XV and XVI in the series `Light Variations of Massive Stars' were published. These dealt with the brightness variations of several massive stars in the two nearest neighbour galaxies, namely six stars (R85, R99, R103, R110, R123 and R128) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and two (R42 and R45) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). ...
