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.

is the role of astronomy research scientists, laboratories or international
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'Oléron, France" and organized by Jean-Pierre Rozelot
("Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur", France), under the aegis of
the "Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique" (CNRS). This session
essentially focused on the theme "Astrophysics Tools for Cooperation between
Amateur and Professional Astronomers", with special emphasis on spectrography. It

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.

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

GALLEX
-
The GALLEX experiment was performed by an international collaboration headed
by MPIK Heidelberg. GALLEX measured the solar neutrino flux produced
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.

H.E.S.S. is a next-generation system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes
for the investigation of cosmic gamma rays in the 100
GeV energy range. The name emphasizes two main features of
the proposed installation, namely the simultaneous observation of air showers
with several telescopes, under different viewing angles, and the combination
of telescopes to a large system to increase the effective
detection area for gamma rays. H.E.S.S. will allow to explore
gamma-ray sources with intensities at a level of a few
thousandth parts of the flux of the Crab nebula. H.E.S.S.
is located in Namibia, near the Gamsberg, an area well

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.

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.

James Webb Space Telescope
( JWST, ex-NGST )
-
The JWST is a critical component of NASA's Origins Program.
It will be a telescope of aperture greater than 4m,
radiatively cooled to 30 - 60 deg.K, permitting extremely deep
exposures at near infrared wavelengths with a 10 year life.
A key requirement is to break the HST cost paradigm
through the use of new technology and management methods. This
site is designed to serve as the starting point for
finding online NGST Study documentation.
There is also a
public home page at NASA, and a European
site at ST-ECF.

About the Henry A. Rowland Department of Physics and Astronomy:
Current research activities can be divided roughly into five areas:
solid-state physics, high-energy physics, astrophysics, plasma spectroscopy, and theoretical physics.
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
launch is expected in 2000.

Joint Institute for VLBI in Europe / European VLBI Network
( JIVE / EVN )
-
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.
