In ATEL #871 the fluxes were incorrectly quoted. All the fluxes should be multiplied by 1E-10 in order to obtain the correct values. The quoted luminosities are correct since the right fluxes were used to calculate them. We apologize for any confusion this error might have caused.

Though it is now clear that accretion of dwarf galaxies likely played a prominent role in creating the Milky Way (MW) halo, the chemical abundance patterns of current MW satellites are typically very different than those of halo stars, and the reason for these differences remains a matter of speculation. We propose to test the bridge from dwarf

Long-duration γ-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with type Ic supernovae that are more luminous than average and that eject material at very high velocities. Less-luminous supernovae were not hitherto known to be associated with GRBs, and therefore GRB-supernovae were thought to be rare events. Whether X-ray flashes-analogues of GRBs, but with

The acoustic cutoff frequency (νac) is an important atmospheric parameter whose estimation has in the past been based on the study of power spectra that have yielded a wide range of values between 5300 and 5700 μHz. The discovery of a solar signal well beyond the acoustic cutoff frequency (pseudomodes) might lead one to think that the determination
