We are dealing with problems of the deterministic (periodic) and
non-deterministic behavior of astronomical time series measured by X-ray satellites. The object of our work is to develop tools both for analysing and
simulating time series in order to improve the understanding of the time
dependent processes taking place in the objects observed by satellites (EXOSAT,

This
is the STARBURST phenomenon in galaxies, held at INAOE. The conference responded
to the rapidly growing interest in the Starburst phenomenon and the possible
links between nuclear Starburst and AGN activity.The central aim was to provide
an open forum to discuss the most recent results about the Starburst activity,
and the possible Starburst-AGN connections.
The conference brought together theory and observations (over a wide range of
frequencies) of Star Formation and Starbursts, Galactic Winds, HII Galaxies,
Interacting Galaxies, IRAS Ultraluminous Galaxies, and Nuclear Starbursts and

The IRAM Newsletter, edited every odd month, carries information on the status
and results of the IRAM telescopes: the 30m telescope at Pico Veleta (Spain) and
the Interferometer on Plateau de Bure (France) IRAM (http://iram.fr/) is an
international institute for research in millimeter astronomy, cofunded by the
CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), the MPG (Max Planck
Gesellschaft, Germany), and the IGN (Instituto Geografico Nacional, Spain).
The IRAS Point Source Catalog redshift survey is a survey of (almost) all of the
15,000 galaxies brighter than 0.6 Jansky at 60 microns, over 83% of the whole
sky. The survey is virtually complete as of Jan 1995, and results on large-scale
structure should appear in the next few months.
IRIS
( CyTeg )
IRIS
is a program complex for processing and analysis of large arrays of research
data (in particular, images). It is a researcher's toolbox to decide a lot of
concrete problems. IRIS is oriented towards the researchers: scientists,
engineers, graduate students, students, etc.
Main features of IRIS are simplicity of use, flexibility, possibility of
integration with other applications (advanced OLE and DLL-interface).
Native formats processed by IRIS, are FITS, SBIG, BMP. There is the possibility
to include support of additional data formats without recompiling IRIS.

Newton Group (la Palma) Data Centre
Observations taken since 1986 with the INT, JKT and WHT telescopes.
Isaac Newton Group - La Palma ( ING )
The
Issac Newton Group consists of three telescopes, the 4.2 metre William Herschel
Telescope, the 2.5 metre Isaac Newton Telescope, and the 1 metre Jacobus Kapteyn
Telescope. They are situated at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, on
the island of La Palma in the Canary Islands, and are operated by the Royal
Observatories of the UK. This resource contains documentation for many of the
major instruments, details of how to apply for time, brief descriptions of the
telescopes, details and status of the service programme, current telescope
schedules, weather information for La Palma, and pointers to other institutions
which share the site.
The site is mirrored at http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/ING/
for faster access to UK users.

All
the papers which have been accepted for the November 96 issue of Astronomy and
Astrophysics Letters dedicated to ISO are listed below. Electronic pre-print
versions of these papers are being made available. This page shall be
dynamically updated, with the links activated, as the papers are ready to be
placed on the server.
The ISO-HDF project has mapped the Hubble Deep Field at 6.7 and 15 microns,
using the ISOCAM camera on the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). Data and
analysis products are made available to the community via this WWW page.
ISOGAL is a 7 and 15 micron survey of the inner Galactic disk performed with the
Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) camera, ISOCAM, mostly with 6" pixels.
The ISOGAL sources are systematically cross-identified with the KJI sources of
the DENIS survey.

The
International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) performed spectrophotometry at high
(0.1-0.3 Å) and low (6-7 Å) resolution between 1150 Å and 3200 Å.
Over 104,000 ultraviolet spectra were obtained with IUE between January 26,
1978, and September 30, 1996.
This is part of the Multimission Archive at STScI.
