... We present a compilation of the flux densities at 22.25 MHz for 395 radio sources. The flux densities are derived from three or more observations of each source. ... In this paper we present a final list of the flux densities scaled both from the specific observations of individual sources and from scans of the survey of galactic emission. The list comprises revised flux densities of sources listed in paper I and new flux densities for sources measured subsequently. ... Braude, S. Ya.: ...

... The GaLactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) Survey comprises of over 300,000 catalogued components and represents a huge leap forward in our understanding of the low frequency radio sky. ... Highlights will include improved understanding of the star formationm of local star forming galaxies, searching for clusters at high redshift around radio-loud active galactic nuclei and searching for the first black holes. ...

... The available observational data on masses and/or luminosities of binary components and the current models for different chemical compositions of Pop I stars were used to improve the mass-luminosity relation for stars of moderate masses. ... This technique was also applied to decompose the low-mass components of several stars suspected to be unresolved binaries. ... The method is based on the minimum determination technique applied to functions of several variables covering a limited range of values...

... This has two components; (1) spectrum monitoring of the radio emissions due to existing systems both at the observatory and around the island; and (2) keeping a watchful eye on future and developing installations, national and international trends in spectrum usage, and regulatory actions by the various authorities. Towards achieving these goals, NAIC/AO has set up a round-the clock spectrum-monitoring system, covering up to 10 GHz. ... Reinaldo Velez (03/22/2002) ...

... Polar Cap Potential . ... The solar wind propagation delay time calculation used here is conceptually similar to the T(IMF) calculation in Kelly, et al. ... The older continuous data are from key parameter data files. ... Note: Very high values of Solar Wind Speed, Solar Wind Pressure, IMF Magnitude and Bz, and Polar Cap Potential are likely indications that WIND has reentered the Earth's magnetosphere; such data is not indicative of solar wind conditions or impending severe geomagnetic disruption. ...

... Although the task is non-XMM specific, it is primarily intended to generate maps of the background in XMM EPIC images. The task does this by fitting a linear combination of background-model component images. The task takes three main inputs (see section 6 for details): (i) the Poissonian FITS image which is to be fitted; (ii) a list of model component FITS images; (iii) (optionally) a FITS mask image. The output is a single FITS image which represents the best-fit background model. ...
