The potential of masers to act as probes of their environment has long been recognised, but to date has proven very difficult to realise. ... 2001, Sutton et al. 2001). Masers are variable on timescales of weeks to months and one of the major limitations in previous attempts at multi-transition analysis has been the uncertainties introduced by combining observations made over many years using a variety of instruments with differing spectral and spatial resolutions and polarisation properties. ...

... the time of observation . ... Observing the Changing Position of the Sun To Establish Cardinal Directions . ... Observations of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky and its pattern of rising and setting in the east and west horizon helped to establish the cardinal directions. ... The final stage of the Sun's return was marked by the observation that the Sun had reached its highest altitude when the full width of your mitted hand could fill the gap between the Sun and the horizon. ...

... The x-ray spectral analysis consists of a comparison between the observed pulse height spectrum and a pulse height spectrum calculated using a given spectral model. ... To obtain the spectral parameters for an x-ray source, several steps need to be followed. For each source: . ... obtain the best fit parameters for a spectral model - repeated for each model of interest . obtain a 1-D or 2-D grid of values around the best fit values - this can be done for as many models as desired . ...

The spectrophotometrical complex of the 6-m telescope in Nasmyth-1 focus . ... A new sample of 360 blue compact galaxies with a strong star formation was build on the base of the Second Byurakan Survey. ... More that 20 galaxies with the extremely low-abundances of heavy elements in the range of 1/30-1/10 of the Sun's one, were found. ... During the 15-years observation term near 500 spectra of the unique source SS~433, from which the relativistic jets were found for the first time, were obtained. ...

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...

... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...
