The period of this Report includes 1984 January 1, the date which was probably the most drastic caesura in the history of astronomical almanacs. It seemed, therefore, appropriate to concentrate here to the general aspects rather than to describe the works going on at the particular almanac offices.

Mobile laser scanning elevation data accuracy in closed and partially open sky area
Mobile laser scanning is being used more often in Estonia and abroad to obtain geospatial information. As the system is still new and being upgraded, different methods are being used to find out how accurately the mobile laser scanner can measure in ...

Under-Developed and Under-Utilized Eclipsing Binary Model Capabilities [PDF]
Existing but largely unused binary star model capabilities are examined. An easily implemented scheme is parameterization of starspot growth and decay that can stimulate work on outer convection zones and their dynamos.

Effect of Ephemeris on Pulsar Timing and Navigation Accuracy Based on X-ray Pulsar Navigation-I Data
Solar system ephemeris is very important for pulsar timing and navigation. In order to explore the effect of different precision ephemerides on X-ray pulsar timing and navigation, the differences between timing and navigation results with four JPL ...

Maya records of planetary conjunctions in Dresden Codex [PDF]
Old Mayas designed a very complicated calendar, and they also recorded important historical events and astronomical phenomena. Dresden Codex (DC), one of the four preserved Mayan hieroglyphic literal legacies, contains many of these, covering ...
