PPAS - Remarks
 
This file contains remarks which were made by observers, but which were
too long to be put in the real PPAS. The original language has been
retained. All the remarks are listed in alphabetic order (by satellite)
and have a number which makes the link with the remarks column in the
real PPAS.
 
61- 18 A (61 sigma 1)
  1) dm or tm alternating with short-long max
 
62- 58 A (62 beta-kappa 1)
  1) Sur une partie de la trajectoire, maxima secondaires tres brefs
     lors d'un minimum sur deux.
  2) Lors d'un minimum sur deux, flash bref aussi brillant que les
     maxima "normaux". A premiere vue, on croirait que les maxima
     sont triples.
  3) Observation effectuee a Anavissos, au Sud d'Athenes (Grece).
  4) Passage au Nord, le satellite se trouvant au-dessus de latitude
     70 degrees N.
  5) Maxima secondaires tres brefs.
  6) Maxima secondaires, dont certains sont tres bref, mais d'autres
     aussi longs et brillants que les maxima principaux.
 
63-  3 A
  1) Avec l'allongement de la periode, les maxima deviennent plus plats.
  2) Sens Nord-Sud. Les maxima sont de plus en plus plats, rendant les
     mesures difficiles. Le 9 fevrier au soir, au cours d'un passage
     dans le sens Sud-Nord, a l'Ouest, l'objet a d'abord presente des
     fluctuations normales; mais arrive au NW, son eclat est devenu
     pratiquement constant.
 
63- 27 A
  1) Maxima secondaires, brefs et faibles, entre certains maxima princi-
     paux.
  2) Maxima secondaires, bien visibles a l'Est.
  3) Passage 10 degrees au-dessus de l'horizon E.
  4) Passage a l'Est, a contre-jour; maxima mieux marques que hier soir.
 
63- 30 A
  1) Difficult to see, I timed all four flashes and it seems it has two
     periods, one of about 28 seconds, the other about 40 seconds.

64- 21 B
  1) Le 29 la fusee avait une periode qui m'a paru reguliere de 0,95 s,
     mais le 30 quelle difference! Au Nord-Nord-Ouest, la variation
     etait reguliere, mais a partir du zenith elle devenait extremement
     complexe; seul un minimum profond semblait revenir regulierement,
     mais je ne l'ai pas mesure (Rohart).
 
64- 48 A
  1) Maxima secondaires immediatement apres les maxima principaux;
     l'objet a atteint au moins la magnitude +1.
  2) Contrairement au jour precedent, les variations d'eclat semblent
     assez irregulieres. Eclat plus faible que le 11 mars, par suite du
     clair de Lune plus intense et de la plus grande distance du satel-
     lite a l'observateur. - FV signale que le 12 mars l'eclat ne pre-
     sentait pas de variations regulieres.
 
64- 50 B
  1) Minima plus prononces a l'E qu'au S.
 
65-  6 B
  1) Les maxima sont peu marques. Satellite observe a l'Ouest. Le jour
     precedant, au Sud, le satellite ne presentait pas de variations
     d'eclat.
 
65- 17 C
  1) Certains maxima sont a peine visibles. Maxima secondaires, dont
     certains sont aussi brillants que les maxima principaux.
  2) Sur une partie de la trajectoire, maxima secondaires un minimum sur
     deux; ces minima secondaires sont assez brillants, mais tres brefs.
 
65- 95 B
  1) Flashing low in SW, becoming steady in the S (DB).
  2) Variations d'eclat au SW et au S, puis eclat constant au SE.
 
66- 43 A
  1) Objet bien visible a l'oeil nu, meme a une distance de 1000 km.
     Il s'agit d'un Cosmos reste attache a sa fusee. La difference
     d'eclat entre les maxima et les minima n'est que de 1 magnitude
     environ.
  2) Bas au Sud-Est. Flashes tres bien marques.
  3) Eclat constant au Sud, fluctuations au Sud-Est (En general, c'est
     a l'oppose du Soleil que les variations d'eclat des satellites
     artificiels sont le moins prononcees).
 
66- 51 A
  1) Very sharp flashes observed as satellite setting in NE. No such
     observed on June 25 or 27 (DB)
  2) A series of very sharp flashes observed as satellite setting.
     Similar flashes observed on July 27 21h when satellite rising in
     the South, but poor conditions prevented any measurement (DB).
  3) Very sharp flashes as previously noted. These flashes occur in a
     series of 20 or less, and there are sometimes gaps in the series.
  4) Varying with amplitude 2 mags; well defined maximum, although it
     could not be described as flash.
  5) Maximum is a sharp flash. The period is quoted with "+-1" because
     it did not seem to be constant.
  6) The appearance was different again. There were two broad maxima to
     +2.5 mag., and also several sets of 3 or 4 quick flashes (period
     presumably the same as previously reported, i.e. 0s.6 or 0s.7).
     Altogether this is a remarkable object!
 
66- 56 A
  1) Decreasing period during one passage, general main : 71s (19 periods)
 
66- 56 B
  1) My records show flash times at:
      Timings           0.0   9.1    32.5    34.7    51.8    54.0
      Differences           9.1   23.4    2.2   17.1     2.2
     In some sense, the period is 19.3 seconds (from 32.5 to 51.8 and
     from 34.7 to 54.0)
     But there seems to be an underlying period of 2.15 second. This fits
     with 8.6, 32.3, 34.4, 51.6, 53.8. (the underlying period could also
     be 2.135 seconds, but this doesn't fit the 0.0 and 9.1 observations)

     nombre exact de periodes observees: 188, au lieu de 180 comptees
     au cours de l'observation. L'ajustement par moindres carres permet
     de calculer la marge d'incertitude.

78- 42 A
  1) Was first I; later also ssm
 
80- 87 B
  1) Very difficult to measure.  Sometimes the faint flashes could not
     been seen.  So I'm not sure how many flashes I've counted, although
     the second measurement started two flashes after the first and
     stopped one flash after the first measurement was stopped.  The mean
     flashtime is then 11.64 sec.  23 flashes for the first measurement
     and 22 for the second gives flashperiods of 11.34 and 11.33 sec.

83- 69 J
  1) No positive ID on this sat.  A faint object was seen in almost the same
     orbit.

83-126 A

                      21h48m UT  RA: 20h42m     D: +63.5

     Chi and D and C to the south.  B at 19:05:0, D at 19:05:07.55 and
     C at 19:05:15.31 . D and C in the line of motion with B slightly above.
  2) B and C mag +5, D mag +4.  Time differance between B and D 5.49 sec;
     D and C in line of motion with B slightly above.
  3) Time differance between B and D 1.15 sec; between B and C 9.66 sec.;

  6) Passage time of Sigma 1 UMA.  B and D at 18:23:53.0; C at 18:24:01.33

90- 81 T
  1) Was first mag +3, later mag +4.

90- 83 B
  1) 90- 83 B was accompagnied at a distance of appr. 4 degrees to the 
     right by an almost steady object, mag +6

91- 06 B
  1) 930328: shortly behind 91 6 B I saw a flashing object with a somewhat
     greater period.  the object moved faster, so it has to be in a lower
     orbit than 91 6 B.

91-  9 J
  1) Leo Barhorst: 91-  9 J was followed at a distance of appr. 3 degrees
     in same orbit by an almost steady object, mag +6

91- 17 A
  1) Observed about 2 minutes earlier than predictions.  At given time 
     satellite passed just to the north of Sigma419 Cam.
  2) Time of passage between alfa and beta CAM.

91- 76 C,D and E
  1) Passage time of 32 Perseus; C and D in line of motion on the northside
     and E on the southside.  C, var. mag +5, at 19:04:0 and D and E, steady
     mag +5, at 19:04:08.02

92- 36 B
  1) 22007 observed 12/29 at 0157 with flash period at 2.41 seconds with max 
     reaching 2.5 magnitude, based on 60 cycles timed.  This is the same
     object that someone on the net noted had a big mean motion jump.  The
     only obs I saw in FLASH had it in February with a long period variation.
     Observation with 7x35 binoculars and recorded on video.  This is a nice
     object !
     (note by TC: 'That someone on the net' was Kurt Jonckheere which is now
     a specialist in predicting flash-period accelerations by checking any
     suspicious mean motion variations)

94- 63 H(re-entry module sometimes refered as A-object)
  1) 22870(Chinese) observed 12/26 0038 GMT for 93 seconds, varying between 
     invisible and 5.  Not enough info to satisfy me; variation might be 
     around 50 seconds between the two apparent maxes that I saw; however,
     there is probably more to it than this.  Observation in 7x35 binoculars.
