The authors present optical and near infrared photometry, covering from 0.36 to 2.3 microns, for a wide sample of red giant stars in the globular cluster M3. These measurements are used to make a first attempt in order to apply the Infrared Flux Method to obtain the observational (L - Teff) diagram for cluster stars. The peculiarities of the method

Extensive high sensitivity observations of the cosmic microwave background have been made on an angular scale of 8° covering a substantial fraction of the northern sky. An observed anisotropy in the sky emission at a level of ΔT/T = 3.7×10-5 has been detected (T is temperature). This level should strictly be interpreted as an upper limit to the

The present examination of general relativistic effect on the lag time between continuum and emission line variations in the broad line notes that in the case where the primary source region lies within the range of a strong gravitational field, simultaneity surfaces in the ionized gas are different from those obtained without accounting for the

This atlas shows the locations of and gives information about optical telescopes used for astronomical research in the United States as of late 1986. Those instruments with mirror or lens diameters of 3/4 m (approx. 30 inches) and larger are included. These telescopes are concentrated in the Southwest, on the West Coast and on the island of Hawaii.
