... Special problems arise with filters intended to measure red leaks in blue and ultraviolet filters. ... The column named REDLEAK contains an 8-character string that specifies the treatment of red leaks in short-wavelength filters. Possible values are 'MEASURED' if the red leak is measured by observations through a filter that isolates the leak; 'BLOCKED' if a copper-sulfate or other blocking filter is used; or 'IGNORED' if the leak is neither measured nor blocked. ...

... The chemically peculiar star HD965 belongs to a rare type of very slow rotators. As far back as in the 90s, G.Mathys (ESO, Chile) supposed its extremely slow rotation as observing split Zeeman components in the spectrum, from which he measured the magnetic field on its surface. Field variation proved to be very slow, and G.Mathys determined that the variability period should be longer than two years. ... Up to now, only two stars with periods longer than 20 years are known. ...
