... The SIRTF Science Center is developing two Web-based tools that will be used during operations. One tool is for Quality Analysis. ... The basic design requirements for the QA tool are (1) that it provide an easy way of looking at all the data, observation by observation, and (2) that it provide an easy way to specify status and comments for each observation. ... The data accessed by this tool consists of meta-data in the central database as well as the actual data files in the archive. ...

... An OBJECT column gives the name of the object observed (usually a star name). ... In critical cases, it is common practice to measure sky on two or more positions around a target object, and these positions must be identified. ... A general treatment of this problem requires a column called OBJECT, bearing the usual name of the object (as in the star tables); a column labelled STARSKY, to distinguish between star+sky, star alone, or sky alone; and additional columns to identify the sky position. ...

Method for High-accuracy Determinations of Orbits of Small Bodies from Three Observations . ... A new method is suggested for finding the preliminary orbit of a small celestial body from three pairs of angular measurements of its position at three moments. ... The methodical error of orbit computation by the proposed method is generally three orders smaller than the corresponding error of the traditional approach based on the construction of the unperturbed Keplerian orbit . ...

... We publish 16 Doppler imaging temperature maps for the years 1994-2002 of the active RS CVn star II Peg. ... Through Doppler imaging we want to study the spot evolution of the star and in particular compare this with previous results showing a cyclic spot behaviour and persistent active longitudes. ... The derived temperature maps are quite similar to the ones obtained earlier with a different methods, the main differences occurring in the spot latitudes and relative strength of the spot structures....
