Welcome Jerry,
It is a lot quieter here these days than it used to be but there is a lot of useful information archived and I think quite a few people still drop in judging by the read statistics
Cheers

Re: SN sn2025rbs dans NGC7331
My analysis of the spectrum at maximum. (ALPY600)
https://britastro.org/observations/obse ... ea2d03013c
Not all type Ia are the same but SN 2025rbs looks like a very normal type Ia

Re: Call for monitoring of Be/X-ray binary X Per
A similar request for monitoring X Per had been received from Alexander Salganik University of Turku so it looks like there is some interest in this object again. See

Call for spectroscopic monitoring of X Per 2025 - Alexander Salganik
I have received a request from Alexander Salganik University of Turku for long term spectroscopic monitoring of the X Ray Binary X Per which I am relaying to the various spectroscopy groups. It is similar monitoring to that requested by Paul Roche which covered mainly 2018-2021 and was reported on ...

Re: airmass
I have used this excellent resource for many years to plan my observations of new transients and view the target field and details in SIMBAD. The author is a professional astronomer and responsive to suggestions of additions/improvements.

Re: T CrB before its new nova event
And yet another prediction ATel using my high resolution H alpha spectrum from the ARAS database. (I have no connection with the authors)

"T CrB on the Verge of an Outburst"
I think they should have at least added a question mark ;-)

Re: eShel merged orders issue
Hi Paul,
I don't know the cause but It seems to me that it is not a stitching problem but a problem with the individual orders which show flip ups at the edges. The stitching is trying its best to fit to include those edge effects. A problem with the blaze profile in those regions ?
Cheers
