The role of the Automated Plate Measuring (APM) machine in developing a program to discover QSOs automatically

The scanning of a direct plate with the automatic plate measuring machine which results in the automated selection and description of images is described. The selection of QSO candidates based on color-color diagrams constructed from the APM image data and the analysis of APM raster data for QSOs selected visually from objective prism plates are also discussed.

Optical properties of Apollo 12 moon samples.

We present the photometric phase function, color, normal albedo, polarimetric phase function, and spectrophotometry of the Apollo 12 soil. With a few minor exceptions, the optical properties of the Apollo 12 soil are very similar to those of the Apollo 11 soil and of lunar mare surfaces.
