Therefore, it is proposed that 'custodianship' of confidential information be assumed by a health care institution as ...

Variability inthe

We present the results of the first systematic study of correlated variability in the X-ray emission and the parsec-scale radio structure of the ‘superluminal’ quasar 3C 345. This quasar is one of a class of core-dominated flat-spectrum radio sources which are believed to emit X-rays via the synchrotrons self-Compton process. By studying its variability in X-rays, we can test this hypothesis fo...

Discovery of Cepheid Variables Inthe

We present the results of a survey for Cepheid variables in the Virgo Cluster spiral NGC 4571 using the High-Resolution Camera (HRCam) on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. Our 13 epochs, taken over a span of 800 days, have typical FWHM of 0.50 arcsec enabling 10% photometry to R 24.5 mag. The application of point-spread tting photometry and both an automated and visual search for variability ...
