The Astrographic Catalogue (AC) was an international effort designed to
photograph and measure the positions of all stars brighter than
magnitude 11.0. In total, over 4.6 million stars were observed,
many as faint as 13th magnitude. This project was started
over 100 years ago. The sky was divided among 20
observatories, by declination zones. Each observatory exposed and measured the
plates of its zone, subsequently publishing the plate measures.
The U.S. Naval Observatory has completed data entry of the
printed volumes of the AC, has completed the data reduction
of each zone, and has converted the positions to the
system defined by Hipparcos. The resulting catalog, called AC 2000,
is now available.

consortiums. ARAS will however attempt to consolidate the acquired data
into a web database and will ensure that the quality
of its data is compatible with scientific processing methods. ARAS
was held from 6 to 11 May 2003 by the
8th "Ecole d'Astrophysique d'Ol�ron, France" and organized by Jean-Pierre Rozelot
("Observatoire de la C�te d'Azur", France), under the aegis of

Astronomical Software
& Documentation Service
( ASDS )
-
The Astronomical Software and Documentation Service (ASDS) is a network
service that allows you to find existing astronomical resources for
solving your problem. ASDS started life as the Astronomical Software
and Documentation Service, devoted entirely to astronomical software packages and
their associated on-line documentation. Much code is rewritten these days,
not because anyone has found a fundamentally better way to
solve the problem, but because they simply don't know who
has already done it, whether the code runs on the
system they have available, or where to get it if
it does. That is the problem that ASDS was intended
to solve. The objectives of ASDS changed in 1998 when
its scope was expanded to include astronomical observing sites and
their associated telescope and instrument manuals, taken from a listing
maintained by Liz Bryson (bryson@cfht.hawaii.edu). The service was renamed at
this point.

In space physics, active areas of research include theoretical studies
of space plasmas, computer simulations of plasmas, studies of auroral
particle acceleration and heating, investigations of the ionosphere and magnetosphere,
and studies of geomagnetic storms. The observational space physics program
at Dartmouth uses ground-based, rocket-launched, and satellite instrumentation to study
the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Observational work in astronomy is carried
out not only at the MDM Observatory, but at national
and international facilities including the Hubble Space Telescope. Ongoing research
includes optical, UV and X-ray studies of supernovae and supernova
remnants, investigations of the interstellar medium, shock waves, and Wolf-Rayet
stars, optical studies of X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variable stars.
Additional work focuses on cosmology, the large-scale structure of the
universe, and the end states of stellar evolution. The theoretical
particle physics and cosmology group at Dartmouth conducts research into
general relativity, field theory, particle physics and phase transitions in
the early universe, and baryogenesis, as well as investigations of
star formation and the origins of large scale structure in
the universe.

Darwin
( Space IR Interferometry Project )
-
Darwin is a proposal for a European infrared
interferometer in space. Its first aim is to detect Earth-like
planets around nearby stars, and then to search for a
signature of life, ozone in an atmosphere. It could also
be used as a general-purpose infrared observatory.
Darwin
was proposed to the European Space Agency (ESA) for
a Cornerstone Mission in its Horizon 2000 Plus plan. In
October 1995, ESA decided to study such an infrared interferometer
as an option for its Interferometer Cornerstone. The Darwin
and Edison teams have combined to promote
the selection by ESA of this option. The Darwin
advocacy team members are also members of the
International Working Group on Space Interferometry , a pressure group
for this type of mission. Final selection on cost, science
and technology grounds will be made around 2000, for a
launch in the period 2009 - 2017.

Data Reduction Expert Assistant
( DRACO )
-
The use of large format detectors, increased access to very
large astronomical databases, and other developments in observational astronomy have
led to the situation where many astronomers are overwhelmed by
the reduction and analysis process. Draco is a novel approach
to data reduction and analysis which works in conjunction with
existing analysis systems such as STSDAS/IRAF, IDL, etc. Draco takes
on much of the mechanics of the process, allowing the
astronomer to spend more time understanding the physical nature of
the data.

Conference on Disks, Planetesimals and Planets, Puerto de la Cruz,
Tenerife, SPAIN, 24-28 January 2000.
The recent discoveries of
extrasolar planets and the progress in studies of disks around
pre-main sequence and main sequence stars highlight the need of
better understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Many
groups and observatories are dedicating important efforts towards these goals.
The 1998 international time of the Canary Islands Observatories is
fully devoted to studies related to these topics, making use
of spectroscopic, polarimetric and photometric techniques in the optical, as
well as near-IR photometry. The conference is the frame where
the large amount of data collected with the facilities in
the Canary Islands will be presented. In addition, contributions from
participants addressing theoretical models and observations in all wavelength ranges
will provide an updated overview of the field. The conference
will last five days (including a free afternoon) and will
consist of sessions with invited and contributed talks and poster.
Sessions will devoted to: (a) PMS objects: circumstellar (protoplanetary) disks
around protostellar objects, PMS stars and Vega-type stars (b) Planetesimals
in PMS and MS stellar systems (c) Planets around stars
(d) Searches for planets (e) Impact on planetary system studies
of future space and ground-based facilities

the field-of-view of tens of arcminutes, and a sensitivity several
100 times greater than any mission before it provided, for
the first time, the capability to image extended objects, diffuse
emission, and to detect faint sources. It was also the
first X-ray NASA mission to have a Guest Observer program.
Overall, it was a key mission in X-ray astronomy and
its scientific outcome completely changed the view of the X-ray
sky.

inside the Sun by proton-proton fusion. As target for neutrino
capture, a large amount (30 tons) of the rare element
Gallium in form of an aqueous solution of Galliumtrichloride was
used. To protect the detector from the interfering cosmic radiation
one must go deep underground. Hence the experiment was carried
out under the shielding of Italy's highest mountain outside the
Alps, the Gran Sasso d'Italia in the Abruzzo region.

Gravity Probe B Relativity Mission
( Stanford )
-
Gravity Probe B is the relativity gyroscope experiment being developed
by NASA and Stanford University to test two extraordinary, unverified
predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity. The experiment
will check, very precisely, tiny changes in the direction of
spin of four gyroscopes contained in an Earth satellite orbiting
at 400-mile altitude directly over the poles. So free are
the gyroscopes from disturbance that they will provide an almost
perfect space-time reference system. They will measure how space and
time are warped by the presence of the Earth, and,
more profoundly, how the Earth's rotation drags space-time around with
it. These effects, though small for the Earth, have far-reaching
implications for the nature of matter and the structure of
the Universe.

Green Flashes
( An Introduction )
-
Green flashes are real (not illusory) phenomena seen at sunrise
and sunset, when some part of the Sun suddenly changes
color (at sunset, from red or orange to green or
blue). The word ``flash'' refers to the sudden appearance and
brief duration of this green color, which usually lasts only
a second or two at moderate latitudes.

Future satellite missions to measure the CMB anisotropy - NASA's
Microwave Anisotropy Probe, MAP, and ESA's Planck - will produce
multifrequency data sets sufficient for the construction of full-sky maps
of the microwave sky at an angular resolution of a
few arcminutes. The principal concern in construction of HEALPix was
to create a mathematical structure which supports the discretisation of
functions on a sphere at sufficiently high resolution to facilitate
fast and accurate statistical and astrophysical analysis of such massive
full-sky data sets.

how old are galactic halos and how did galaxies formation?
(2) why is the metallicity distribution in the M31 halo
so radically different from that in the Galactic halo? (3)
how did globular clusters form and how are they related

An alternative way to present astronomical data by combining atlas
and catalog features: The Galaxy Wanted Poster. The Halpha and
NII spectra of nearby spiral edge-on galaxies reveal next to
their redshift velocities their individual kinetic fingerprints. Such velocity slices
or rotation curves are correlated to the morphological properties of
these objects. Based on a sample of 59 galaxies of
the southern hemisphere a small rotation curve atlas has been
compiled which allows fast comparison between visual and spectral observations.

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF) is a Director's Discretionary program
on HST in Cycle 5 to image a typical field
at high galactic latitude in four wavelength passbands as deeply
as reasonably possible. In order to optimize observing in the
time available, a field in the northern continuous viewing zone
(CVZ) was selected and images were taken for 10 consecutive
days, or approximately 150 orbits. Shorter 1-orbit images were also
obtained of the fields immediately adjacent to the primary HDF
in order to facilitate spectroscopic follow-up by ground-based telescopes. The
observations were carried out from 18-30 December 1995, and the
data are available to the community for study.

Hubble Space Telescope Astrometry Science Team
-
See how astrometry, one of the oldest branches of astronomy,
uses the Hubble Space Telescope, one of the newest tools
of astronomy. Interrogate our home page to find out what
we do, who we are, and what we've done. Look
over our shoulder as we search for planets around a
nearby star. We use the Fine Guidance Sensors aboard the
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to measure star positions, study binary
stars and study stellar motions. Primarily, stellar positions yield parallaxes
which provide information on distance. The distances to nearby stars
calibrate the entire astronomical distance scale. Monitoring star position may
reveal previously unseen companions. We search for planets near Proxima
Centauri and Barnard's Star. We also work to tie the
HIPPARCOS reference frame to an extragalactic (non-rotating) reference frame. We
study binary stars unresolvable using ground-based techniques. We inspect stars
to determine whether or not they are binary. We use
the Planetary Camera to obtain images of stars in globular
clusters. The precision with which we can measure positions is
so high, that after 3-5 years a second image will
show motions of stars in clusters 6 kpc distant.

Hubble Space Telescope
( HST )
-
The Hubble Space Telescope is a cooperative program of the
European Space Agency (ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA) to operate a long-lived space-based observatory for the
benefit of the international astronomical community. To accomplish this goal
and protect the spacecraft against instrument and equipment failures, NASA
had always planned on regular servicing missions. Hubble has special
grapple fixtures, 76 handholds, and stabilized in all three axes.
HST is a 2.4-meter reflecting telescope which was deployed in
low-Earth orbit (600 kilometers) by the crew of the space
shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 25 April 1990. HST's current complement
of science instruments include three cameras, two spectrographs, and fine
guidance sensors (primarily used for astrometric observations). Because of HST's
location above the Earth's atmosphere, these science instruments can produce
high resolution images of astronomical objects. Ground-based telescopes can seldom
provide resolution better than 1.0 arc-seconds, except momentarily under the
very best observing conditions. HST's resolution is about 10 times
better, or 0.1 arc-seconds.

The Indian Astronomical Observatory, the high-altitude station of IIA is
situated at an altitude of 4500 metres above mean sea
level to the north of Western Himalayas. Atop Mt. Saraswati
in the vast Nilamkhul Plain in the Hanle Valley of
Changthang, Ladakh (4250m above msl), the site is a dry,
cold desert with sparse human population and the ancient Hanle
monastery as its nearest neighbour. The cloudless skies and low
atmospheric water vapour make it one of the best sites
in the world for optical, infrared, sub-millimetre, and millimetre wavelengths.
A 2-m optical infrared telescope is installed at the observatory.
This telescope is remotely operated from CREST, Hosakote, using dedicated
satellite links. In addition, IIA is collaborating with University of
Washington, St. Louis, in operating a 0.5-m photometry telescope for
continuous monitoring of Active Galactic Nuclei. This telescope will be
one of the pair of telescopes constituting Antipodal Transient Observatory.
A 0.3-m Differential Image Motion Monitor, a 220-GHz radiometer and
an Automated Weather Station have been installed to facilitate continuation
of site characterisation.

Work in the Center for Astrophysical Sciences (CAS) at JHU
is now centered in three areas: developing instrumentation for astronomical
observations, particularly from space; optical observational astronomy from the ground
and space; and theory.Two large space astronomy projects are currently
active in CAS: the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope, a far-UV spectrophotometer
which made its first flight aboard the space shuttle in
December, 1990, and its second flight on March 2, 1995;
and the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, a free-flying satellite whose

The European VLBI Network (EVN) was formed in 1980 by
a consortium of five of the major radio astronomy institutes
in Europe (the European Consortium for VLBI). Since 1980, the
EVN and the Consortium has grown to include 9 institutes
with 12 telescopes in 8 western European countries as well
as associated institutes with telescopes in Poland, Russia, Ukraine and
China. Proposals for additional telescopes in Spain and Italy are
under consideration, and furthermore, the EVN can be linked to
the 7-element Jodrell Bank MERLIN interferometer in the UK and
to the US Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) to create
a " global network" . In 1993 the Joint Institute
for VLBI in Europe (JIVE) was created, with the Netherlands
Foundation for Research in Astronomy (Dwingeloo) acting as the host
institute. It will provide both scientific user support and a
correlator facility. Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) achieves ultra-high angular
resolution and is a multi-disciplinary technique e.g. imaging of extragalactic
radio sources, geodesy and astrometry.

Laboratory for High Energy Astrophysics
( LHEA )
-
The Laboratory was reorganized in October 1995 into two science
and two technical support branches. The science branches are the
"X-ray Astrophysics Branch" and the "Gamma Ray and Cosmic Ray
Astrophysics Branch". The latter contains several subgroups including low and
high energy cosmic rays, low and high energy gamma-rays, and
a theoretical group. In addition to the four branches there
is an "Office for Guest Investigator Programs" with overall responsibility
for the utilization by the astrophysics community of several high
energy astrophysics observatories that the laboratory administers ( ROSAT, ASCA,
CGRO and XTE).

The goal
of the LBT project is to construct and exploit a
binocular telescope consisting of two 8.4-meter mirrors on a common
mount. This telescope will be equivalent in light-gathering power to
a single 11.8-meter instrument. Because of its binocular arrangement, the
telescope will have a resolving power (ultimate image sharpness) corresponding
to a 23-meter telescope.

MCELS is a survey of two of our nearest neighboring
galaxies, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. The survey is
done in the bright emission of Hydrogen (Halpha 6563), Sulfur
([S II] 6724), and Oxygen ([O III] 5007) from the
interstellar gas of these two galaxies to study the properties,
kinematics, and dynamics of the "violent" interstellar medium. Although the
project just started recently, one can already see some samples
of the utility as well as the beauty of emission-line
imaging which will be brought to the astronomical community and
the public in general. The survey is performed with the
University of Michigan's Curtis Schmidt telescope, a 0.6/0.9m Schmidt located
on Cerro Tololo and run by CTIO under a cooperative
agreement with the University of Michigan.

McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences
( MCSS )
-
The McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences exists to encourage
scientists to work together on research problems that span or
transcend traditional departmental lines. This is done through formal programs
such as regular colloquia, and informally through the common bond
of fellowship in the Center. Space science, broadly defined as
the study of the universe and our relationship to it,
is simply too vast an area to be the province
of a single discipline. Understanding the formation of the solar
system is equally the task of the chemist who measures
isotope effects in meteorites, the astronomer who observes planetary atmospheres
or interstellar dust, and the theoretical physicist who studies gravitational
collapse. Faculty and students of the Center thus belong to
one of the basic, traditional science departments, yet overlap strongly
in their research work.

-
Microlensing Planet Finder Project
( MPF, ex-GEST )
-
The Microlensing Planet Finder Project (MPF) is by far the
most powerful proposed observatory for finding large numbers of planetary
systems. It answers the following questions: How many planets are
there? How are they distributed in mass and distance from
their parent stars, and in distance from the Galactic Center?
How many have large moons? How many have been expelled
from their systems? None of these questions are fully addressed
by other techniques particularly if the abundance is low. MPF
will do this by observing microlensing signals from 100 million
stars in the Galactic bulge for 4 observing seasons, and
it will have sensitivity to planets with masses as low
as 0.1 M\oplus at separations > 0.7 AU. MPF will
be sensitive to analogs of all the planets in the
solar system except for Mercury and Pluto and will complement
the Kepler mission.

Microvariability and Oscillations of STars
( MOST )
-
MOST is Canada's first space science microsatellite and its first
optical space telescope project, aiming for launch in late 2001.
MOST is designed to measure (as its acronym implies) Microvariability
& Oscillations of STars in broadband light with a precision
of a few micromagnitudes over timescales from minutes to days.
The resulting eigenfrequency data will be used primarily for stellar
seismology, to probe the structure and ages of Sun-like stars,
magnetic stars, Wolf-Rayet stars and halo subdwarfs. The subdwarfs are
expected to yield age estimates which would place a meaningful
lower limit on the age of the Universe. MOST should
also be capable of confirming the presence of giant extrasolar
planets identified in Doppler surveys.

Midcourse Space Experiment
( MSX )
-
The MSX observatory is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization project
which offers major benefits for both the defense and civilian
sectors. It was launched on a Delta II vehicle on
April 24, 1996, into a 900 km, polar, near-Sun synchronous
orbit. The spacecraft featured an advanced multispectral image capability to
gather data on test targets and space background phenomena.
The infrared sensors operated at 11 to 12 degrees Kelvin
by employing a solid hydrogen cryostat. The IR instruments span
the range 4.2 - 26 microns. The focal plane array
consists of five bands and the radiometer beam-size is more
than 25 times smaller than IRAS. As a result, much
greater spatial resolution than anything currently available has been obtained.
The cryogen phase of the mission ended on 26 February
1997. During the ten month cryogen phase of the mission
over 200 Giga Bytes of data on Celestial Backgrounds were
obtained.

Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope
( MOST )
-
The MOST consists of two cylindrical paraboloids, 778m x 12m,
separated by 15m and aligned East-West. A line feed system
of 7744 circular dipoles collects the signal and feeds 176
preamplifiers and 88 IF amplifiers. The telescope is steered by
mechanical rotation of the cylindrical paraboloids about their long axis,
and by phasing the feed elements along the arms. The
resulting `alt-alt' system can follow a field for +/- 6
hours (necessary for a complete synthesis with an East-West array)
only if the field is south of declination -30 degrees.
For fields near this limit the signal-to-noise ratio is considerably
lower for the first and last hour or so due
to the lower gain of the system at large `meridian
distance' angles.

Neuro One is a Windows based neural networks software that
handles static, dynamic and hybrid models (feedforward, feedback, NN+knowledge models).
All predicted values are associated with a confidence interval. There
is a flexible tool to design advanced NN like hybrid
models or merged multi-ouputs models, a powerful optimizer for reverse
computation (on mono or multi-outputs models), soon in 2004 a
module for the design of experiments for non-linear models. Neuro
Code is an automatic generator of librairies in C-code :
neural networks, Levenberg-Marquardt algorithmes, confidence intervals. The codes runs sucessfully
on Pentium and Itanium processors. [also in French]

often want to have at their finger tips, because it
was written by a teacher who looked for information, and
failed to find it.

Parallel Virtual Machine
( PVM )
-
PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) is a software system that enables
a collection of heterogeneous computers to be used as a
coherent and flexible concurrent computational resource. The individual computers may
be shared- or local-memory multiprocessors, vector supercomputers, specialized graphics engines,
or scalar workstations, that may be interconnected by a variety
of networks, such as ethernet, FDDI, etc. PVM support software
executes on each machine in a user-configurable pool, and presents
a unified, general, and powerful computational environment of concurrent applications.
User programs written in C or Fortran are provided access
to PVM through the use of calls to PVM library
routines for functions such as process initiation, message transmission and
reception, and synchronization via barriers or rendezvous. Users may optionally
control the execution location of specific application components. The PVM
system transparently handles message routing, data conversion for incompatible architectures,
and other tasks that are necessary for operation in a
heterogeneous, network environment.

production and acceleration of any particle in the universe at
such macroscopic energies. The Auger project is therefore the only
answer the scientific community can propose to solve an astrophysical
puzzle of more than 30 years. The Observatory is now
under construction since 2001.

atmospheric probe plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere and relayed information on
the structure and composition of the solar system's largest planet.
The spacecraft's orbiter will spend the next two years orbiting
the giant planet, studying Jupiter and its moons (encountering one
moon during each orbit), and returning a steady stream of
images and scientific data. The first two encounters were successfully
performed with Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, on June 27, 1996
and September 6, 1996.

of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Two sets of instruments are now
under construction: ROTSE-I, a 4-fold camera array using telephoto lenses
to cover a 16 degree by 16 degree field of
view and ROTSE-II, a pair of 0.45 meter aperture telescopes
to cover a 2 degree by 2 degree field of
view. The expected sensitivities of these two systems is expected
to be m_v ~ 15 and 18 respectively.

SAOimage Image Display Utility
( SAOimage )
-
SAOimage (pronounced S-A-0-image) is a utility for displaying astronomical images
which runs under the X11 window environment. It was written
by Mike Van Hilst at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in
1990 and is now maintained by Doug Mink. Image files
can be read directly, or image data may be passed
through a named pipe (Unix) or a mailbox (VMS) from
IRAF display tasks. SAOimage provides a large selection of options
for zooming, panning, scaling, coloring, pixel readback, display blinking, and
region specification. User interactions are generally performed with the mouse.

During 1995 and 1996, the rings of Saturn were seen
edge-on from the Earth's perspective on three ocassions, and from
the Sun's perspective once. This is a rare event that
only occurs every 15 years. The triple ring plane crossings
are particularly favorable in providing astronomers a unique opportunity to
observe Saturn's rings and moons.

Schw�bischen Sternwarte
-
The Swabian Observatory was founded in 1919. It is a
non-profit-making organisation. Since January 8th 1922 we operate an observatory
located on a hill in Stuttgart. The focal point of
our astronomical work is the observation of occultations of stars
by the moon, the planets and their satellites, asteroids and
also mutual events. We measure the occultation timings with video
and photoelectric equipment up to 10.5 mag with an accuracy
of +/-0.01s and up to 13.5 mag with an accuracy
of +/-0.1s. We send our results to IOTA, EAON, BAA
and ILOC. Sometimes we make an excursion to observe grazing
events with our transportable telescopes, for example a Meade 2080HTC.
Another main emphasis is the observation of variable stars, mainly
Mira type stars. Normally we measure stars up to 15mag.
At the moment we are beginning to observe variable stars
with the CCD camera ST-6. We send our results to
AAVSO, AFOEV and BAV. [in German]

Stichting ASTRonomisch Onderzoek in Nederland / Netherlands Foundation for Research in Astronomy
( ASTRON, Dwingeloo )
-
The Stichting ASTRonomisch Onderzoek in Nederland(Netherlands Foundation for Research in
Astronomy) is a government funded institute with a mission of
developing and maintaining innovative instrumentation and observing facilities for astronomers
in the Netherlands.
Our strategy to do this is
to provide front-line observing facilities for Dutch astronomers across a
broad range of frequencies and techniques.
To this end,
we built and operate the radio telescope at Westerbork, one
of the largest and most sensitive radio telescopes in the
world. We also develop advanced instrumentation for studying the content,
structure and evolution of the Universe, and for exploring exotic
physical phenomena that cannot be studied in the laboratory.
Our ambition for the future is to help develop the
technologies necessary for a new generation of sensitive radio telescopes,
capable of detecting objects over the entire past history of
the Cosmos.

( SUMSS )
-
SUMSS is a deep radio survey of the entire sky
south of declination -30 degrees, made using the Molonglo Observatory
Synthesis Telescope, operating at 843MHz and recording right-circular polarization.
SUMSS matches (approximately) the resolution and depth of the NRAO-VLA
Sky Survey (NVSS). The principal data products are mosaics which
cover a 4x4 degree square on the sky. The centres
of the mosaics mirror the NVSS centres in the north.
The resolution is 45" x 45"/sin(dec), and the rms noise
limit varies from 1.3 to 2mJy/beam (lower toward the south
celestial pole).
The survey began in March 1997 and
will take eight years to complete. SUMSS is suported by
funding from the Australian Research Council.
The primary reference
for a description of the survey is: Bock, D.,

Two Micron All-Sky Survey
( 2MASS )
-
Infrared detector technology has made such huge advances in the
past decade that the only existing near-infrared sky survey, which
was carried out at Caltech nearly 25 years ago, no
longer serves as a useful context within which to interpret
observations or select sources for study. The University of Massachusetts
is therefore leading a new project, called the Two Micron
All Sky Survey (2MASS), which will canvas the entire sky
for stars and galaxies as much as 50,000 times fainter
than the stars seen in the last survey.

The initial task of the UKST was to construct a
photographic survey of the entire southern sky. The telescope still
takes some 700 plates a year - about half for
current surveys and the remainder taken at the request of
research astronomers around the world. To date the UKST has
taken over 17,000 plates, the plates are stored in the
Plate Library at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh (ROE) and represent
a huge source of data for the astronomical community. Some
300 active research programmes make use of UKST plate material.
Many plates are copied in the ROE Photolabs and sold
as Sky Atlases or Teaching Packages. In addition to its
photographic role the UKST also has a multi-object fibre spectroscopy
system known as FLAIR. e-mail ukstu@roe.ac.uk

Columbia during 2-10 December 1990. The same three instruments were
later flown on the space shuttle Endeavour from 3-17 March
1995, as part of the ASTRO-2 mission. Exposures were obtained
on 70-mm photographic film in the 1200-3300 � range using
broadband filters and later digitized using a Perkin-Elmer microdensitometer. Image
resolution was 3" over a 40' field of view. Overall,
UIT-1 obtained 821 exposures of 66 targets, and UIT-2 obtained
758 images of 193 targets.
