... 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: . ...

This thread illustrates how to evaluate if your RGS observation is affected by pile-up; if so, how to deal with it in some special cases; and how to prevent it occurring. ... Pile-up will cause two coincident first order . ... Thus, pile-up may differ between RGS1 and RGS2 and may abruptly vary between CCD locations due to the nominal event pattern distribution variations over the detectors. ...

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. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) . To this aim, the two Landolt/Stetson photometric fields SA95 and SA101 will be observed on a number of epochs and at different airmasses during February and March 2007. ... SA101 . ... OBs for SA101 have to be observed during evenigh twilight (exceptions are expected for the second half of March) . ...

... In this activity, students will observe that the faintest stars which they can see in the sky are affected by many things: the adaptation of their eyes to the dark, the presence of clouds or haze, the time of year, and the presence of light pollution.
