Multicolor Photometry of the Uranus Irregular Satellites Sycorax and Caliban

We report on accurate BVRI photometry for the two Uranus irregular satellites Sycorax and Caliban. We derive colours, showing that Sycorax is bluer than Caliban. Our data allows us to detect a significant variability in the Caliban's light-curve, which suggests an estimated period of about 3 hours. Despite it is the brighter of the two bodies, Sycorax does not display a strong statistically significant variability. However our data seem to suggest a period of about 4 hoursComment: 17 pages, 2 eps figures, in press in Astronomical Journa

A Proposal for an Automated Documentation System in FORTRAN 90

A macro processor is able to scan a F90 code, to extract automatically comments and to convert them into a LATEX document. Joining this possibility with a mark-up language interspersed into the F90 code it is possible to use the source code itself as the source for documentation and Man Pages, in a way analogous to PERL 5.0 PODs. A simplified mark-up language is introduced here. The SGML syntax (i.e. marks with the form ... ) is used to allow future expandability toward XML/SGML interpreters. In order to avoid interfering with the F90 compiler marks are added to comments so that the compiler will skip it
