The Hipparcos Input Catalogue -hereafter called HIC– (Turonet al.1992a, Turonet al.1994) contains the observing programme of the Hipparcos mission: 118 000 preselected stars, 48 minor planets and three satellites of major planets. These objects were selected on the grounds of more than 200 scientific programmes proposed by the world-wide astronomical community, and dealing with a large variety of astronomical and astrophysical topics. It contains the most up-to-date, comprehensive and homogeneous data and information related to these programme stars, collected during the years 1981-1990 by the INCA Consortium (Hipparcos INput CAtalogue consortium).

AbstractThe Hipparcos observing programme is composed of 118 000 selected stars, one QSO (3C273), 48 minor planets, and 2 satellites of major planets. These objects were selected on the ground of scientific proposals submitted by the world-wide astronomical community, while taking into account die specific operating mode of the satellite and using at best its observing possibilities. The content of the stellar part of this observing programme and the way in which the star selection was performed is described in details in a paper accepted for publication in Astronomy & Astrophysics.

AbstractFe XIV 530.3 nm coronal emission line observations have been used for the estimation of the green solar corona rotation. A homogeneous data set, created from measurements of the world-wide coronagraphic network, has been examined with a help of correlation analysis to reveal the averaged synodic rotation period as a function of latitude and time over the epoch from 1947 to 1991.The values of the synodic rotation period obtained for this epoch for the whole range of latitudes and a latitude band ±30° are 27.52±0.12 days and 26.95±0.21 days, resp. A differential rotation of green solar corona, with local period maxima around ±60° and minimum of the rotation period at the equator, was confirmed. No clear cyclic variation of the rotation has been found for examinated epoch but some monotonic trends for some time intervals are presented.A detailed investigation of the original data and their correlation functions has shown that an existence of sufficiently reliable tracers is not evident for the whole set of examinated data. This should be taken into account in future more precise estimations of the green corona rotation period.

The limited fossil reserves, spiraling price and environmental impact due to usage of fossil fuels leads the world wide researchers’ interest in using alternative renewable and environment safe fuels that can meet the energy demand. Biodiesel is an emerging renewable alternative fuel to conventional diesel which can be produced from both edible and non-edible oils, animal fats, algae etc. The society is in dire need of using renewable fuels as an immediate control measure to mitigate the pollution level. In this work an attempt is made to review the requisite and access the capability of the biodiesel in improving the environmental degradation.

The world-wide use of scleral contact lenses has dramatically increased over the past 10 year and has changed the way that we manage patients with corneal irregularity. Successfully fitting them can be challenging especially for eyes that have significant asymmetries of the cornea or sclera. The future of scleral lens fitting is utilizing corneo-scleral topography to accurately measure the anterior ocular surface and then using software to design lenses that identically match the scleral surface and evenly vault the cornea. This process allows the practitioner to efficiently fit a customized scleral lens that successfully provides the patient with comfortable wear and improved vision.
