Use of Skylab EREP data in a sea-surface temperature experiment
The author has identified the following significant results. A sea surface temperature experiment was studied, demonstrating the feasibility of a procedure for the remote measurement of sea surface temperature which inherently corrects for the effect of the intervening atmosphere without recourse to climatological data. The procedure was applied to Skylab EREP S191 spectrometer data, and it is demonstrated that atmospheric effects on the observed brightness temperature can be reduced to less than 1.0 K

Recent MOST space photometry
The Microvariability and Oscillations of STars (MOST) photometric satellite
has already undertaken more than 64 primary campaigns which include some
clusters and has obtained observations of >850 secondary stars of which ~180
are variable. More than half of the variables pulsate, with the majority being
of B-type. Since 2006 January, MOST has operated with only a single CCD for
both guiding and science. The resulting increase in read-out cadence has
improved precision for the brightest stars. The 2007 light curve for Procyon
confirms the lack of predicted p-modes with photometric amplitudes exceeding 8
ppm as we found in 2004 and 2005. p-modes have been detected in other
solar-type stars as well as pre-main sequence objects, roAp and delta Scuti
variables. g-modes have been detected in a range of slowly pulsating B stars,
Be stars and beta Cephei variables. Differential rotation has been defined for
several spotted solar-type stars and limits set to the albedo of certain
transiting planets and the presence of other perturbing planets. The mission is
expected to continue as long as the experiment operates.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, from HELAS-II meetin
A Completely Invariant SUSY Transform of Supersymmetric QED
We study the SUSY breaking of the covariant gauge-fixing term in SUSY QED and
observe that this corresponds to a breaking of the Lorentz gauge condition by
SUSY. Reasoning by analogy with SUSY's violation of the Wess-Zumino gauge, we
argue that the SUSY transformation, already modified to preserve Wess-Zumino
gauge, should be further modified by another gauge transformation which
restores the Lorentz gauge condition. We derive this modification and use the
resulting transformation to derive a Ward identitiy relating the photon and
photino propagators without using ghost fields. Our transformation also
fulfills the SUSY algebra, modulo terms that vanish in Lorentz gauge
