USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ... We show below some preliminary results from this analysis. ...

... 1Wills Accurate measurements of relative flux density have been made between frequencies of 468 and 5009 MHz for 300 radio sources selected from Parkes catalogue. ... Excluding the incertainties in scaling these flux densities to an absolute system, rms errors vary from 0.24 Jy and 2.4 % at 635 MHz to 1.8 % at 2700 MHz; uncertainties in "absolute" scaling are thought to be about 45 %. ... Some sources whose spectra may be useful for flux density calibration are noted. ...

... A correlation between metal abundance and orbital elements (the eccentricity and angular momentum) has been found for three semples of disk stars of our Galaxy with abundance derived from detailed analysis. The correlation indicates that metal abundance in the Galaxy kept increasing after the birth of old disk stars and that the Galaxy kept collapsing during the formation of its disk subsystems. ...
