New Cataclysmic Variable 1RXS J073346.0+261933 in Gemini
In course of the search for the optical identifications associated with ROSAT
X-ray sources we have found a highly variable object with the very unusual
long-term behavior, color indices and high X-ray-to-optical flux ratio. We
report the archival photometric light curve from the Catalina Sky Survey,
optical spectroscopy from RTT150 and time-resolved photometry from
Astrotel-Caucasus telescope. The object appears to be the magnetic cataclysmic
variable (polar) with orbital period of P=3.20 hr.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures. Submitted to Astronomy Letter
Identification of new cataclysmic variables in the 1RXS and USNO-B1.0 catalogs
As a result of applying the original optical variability search method on
publicly available data, we have found eight new cataclysmic variables and two
possible Optically Violent Variable quasars among the previously unidentified
X-ray sources in the ROSAT catalog. We describe the search method and present
the characteristics of the newly identified variable stars. The obtained
results demonstrate the large potential of the concept of Virtual Observatory
for identifying new objects of astrophysical interest.Comment: 16 pages, 11 figures, 2 tables; submitted to Astronomy Letter
Cataclysmic Variables from USNO-B1.0 Catalog: Stars with Outbursts on Infrared Palomar Plates
The search was performed for cataclysmic variable stars with outlying
infrared magnitudes in USNO-B1.0 catalog. The selection was limited to objects
in the Northern hemisphere with (B1-R1) 3.5. The search method
is described, and the details on individual stars are given. In total 27
variable objects were found with 20 being the previously known ones and 7 - new
discoveries. 4 of newly found variables are dwarf novae, while the remaining 3
- pulsating red variables of Mira or semi-regular types, including a heavily
reddened one in Pelican nebula. The correct pulsation period is determined for
two stars discovered by other researchers, and the dwarf nova nature is
confirmed for another object previously suspected as such. The perspectives of
the proposed search technique in the framework of Virtual Observatory are also
discussed.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures, submitted to Astronomy Letter
CHANGES IN LAW IN CONDITIONS OF PUBLIC MODERNIZATION: HISTORY AND MODERNITY
The article is devoted to changes in law in the process of social modernization. The historical analysis of changes in legal procedures in the process of historical formation of modern society is carried out. The factors of changes in modern legal systems and in the legal systems of the past are revealed. The article uses the methods necessary for the doctrinal analysis of changes in law, namely: formal-legal, as well as comparative-legal and concrete historical. The result of the study was the analysis and author’s conclusions about legal regulation and legal policy in a postmodern society
