Cable Address: SATELLITES, NEWYORK Western Union: RAPID SATELLITE CAMBMASS COMET TAGO-SATO-KOSAKA (1969g) Drs. A. D. Code, T. E. Houck and C. F. Lillie, Wasburn Observatory, University of Wisconsin, report: "Comet 1969g has been observed in the ultraviolet by the Orbiting Astronomical Observatory. The Wisconsin ultraviolet photometers and spectrophotometers have obtained data commencing January 14 14h21m UT. The head of the comet is bright in L-alpha out to distances of 30' from the nucleus and is measurable to a distance of approximately 1.5 deg. A strong feature, presumably OH, is present at approximately 3070 A. A continuum is present, reaching a minimum near 1900 A and increasing in intensity again to 1100 A. Observations will continue through January 30, and supporting ground-based data during this period will be valuable." PERIODS OF FOUR SOUTHERN PULSARS M. M. Komesaroff, J. G. Ables, D. Morris, D. J. Cooke, U. J. Schwarz and P. A. Hamilton, Radiophysics Division, CSIRO, Sydney, write: "Improved periods (referred to the barycenter of the solar system) have been determined at the Australian National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Parkes, for four Molonglo pulsars. For three of them the dispersion measures (pc cm**-3), and for two the declinations, have been obtained with increased accuracy. Upper limits on the (dimensionless) rate of change of period have been determined in three cases." . Pulsar R.A. (1950) Decl.
