Cagliari
Astronomical Observatory
( International Latitude Station )
The
Cagliari Astronomical Observatory was established as International Latitude
Astronomical Station of Carloforte in 1899, a small town of the sardinian island
of S. Pietro. It has been, for about 80 years, one of the five international
stations devoted to study the Earth rotation and polar motion. Observations with
the zenital telescope were carried out, except in the period of the second
world's war. Starting from 1978, the headquarters were moved to Punta Sa Menta,
a site 15 km far from Cagliari which has the same latitude of the Carloforte
station. (Satellite Laser Ranging, Astrophysics, Planetary Dynamics, Time

Marseille's Observatory to reduce the 3D data coming from Photon Counting or CCD
observations. It contains also general 2D modules useful for simple imagery.
ADHOC software has been designed in 1987 in order to reduce data from the
scanning Pérot-Fabry instrument CIGALE built in Marseille's Observatory. Up to
1998, the successive versions of ADHOC run on DOS operating systems. The new
version will offer also to reduce TIGER and PYTHEAS observational data.

Cosmological
Constant Conference
International
Conference on "The Cosmological Constant and the Evolution of the
Universe", The University of Tokyo (Tokyo, Japan), November 7 - 10, 1995
Observational data, such as the Hubble constant measurements and estimates of
the age of globular clusters, have strongly suggested the existence of
nonvanishing cosmological constant. It is, however, quite difficult to explain
the observationally suggested value on purely theoretical grounds. The purpose
of the Conference was to bring together the observational data and theoretical
ideas concerning the cosmological constant.
The
purpose of this opinion poll is to survey current believes, held by
professionals and the informed public, on what should be the correct values of
the Hubble constant, the cosmic density parameter, Omega, and the cosmological
constant, Lambda, and to monitor changes as new observational and theoretical
results become available.

Cracow
- Solar radio emission in dm wavelength
Continuous
observations of solar radio emission in decimeter wavelength have been
maintained in Cracow since 1957. Beginning from January 1995 we provide the
reduced data on-line. The new instrument for solar radio observations is under
construction. It is to start its operation in May, 1995.
The
Astronomical Observatory is an institute in Faculty of Mathematics and Physics
at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, Poland. Nowadays the scientific staff
of 36 people works on: physics of comets, photometry of variable stars, solar
radio emission observations, investigation of extragalactic radio sources,
active galactic nuclei, interstellar and intergalactic matter, physics of
galaxies, large scale structure of the Universe and theoretical cosmology.
Crawford
Astronomy Collection
( ROE )
The
Royal Observatory, Edinburgh, possesses one of the most comprehensive
collections of astronomical literature in existence. The library system, which
serves the professional community, comprises the Crawford Library, Main Library
and Archives. The Main Library holds twentieth century material covering all
fields of astronomy. Supporting subjects are represented by a select stock of
works on physics, electronics and computing. All post-1973 publications are
available through the Library's on line catalogue. The Observatory Archives
comprise the notebooks, correspondence and other papers of the former
Astronomical Institution of Edinburgh, Astronomers Royal for Scotland, and the
26th Earl of Crawford. The collection which includes early instruments,
equipment and photographic material, has been sorted and indexed. The Crawford
Library contains some 15,000 books, pamphlets and manuscripts dating from the
thirteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century. The collection was
brought together by the 26th Earl of Crawford from his family library, the
library of Charles Babbage and purchases of rare books from booksales throughout
Europe. The Library contains first editions of all major works in the history of
astronomy and related fields. It is recognised as a rich resource for scholars,
historians of science and bibliographers and is visited by researchers from all
over the world.

at the University of Michigan's Portage Lake Observatory in 1950, and moved to
the much clearer skies of north central Chile in 1966. Two thirds of the time on
this telescope is available to US and Chilean astronomers, with the remaining
one third reserved for astronomers from the Dept.
