GBI Monitoring of Sgr A*: Thanks to NASA, the Green Bank Interferometer (GBI) is working again. It is now fully dedicated to continually monitor radio sources which are of interest to X-ray astronomers. There is a good chance that your pet-source is already included in the program, but you can also propose new sources. The data is public and can be used by anyone almost immediately. Among the sources included in the program is the Galactic Center source Sgr A*. However, at present the calibration of this low-declination source with its extended emission is problematic and hence the data must be treated with great care. We will inform you as soon as the problems are solved and include a link on our web-page that will give you a daily update of the Sgr A* flux. Heino Falcke will serve as an informal contact person for any questions related to that particular source or see the GBI home page for questions on the program.
MSX: Images obtained with MSX (Midcourse Space Experiment) of the Galactic Center were released to the public late last July. To see these interesting midinfrared images, go to http://www.mrcnh.com/msx/CB/earlyres.htm.
Meeting: There will be a pre-IAU meeting in Hong Kong, 1997 PACIFIC RIM CONFERENCE ON STELLAR ASTROPHYSICS, August 13 - 16, at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. For more information contact K.L. Chan. Abstract deadline is March 31st.
Deadline: The next deadline to insure your abstract is included in GCNEWS Volume 5 is April 15, 1997 (but we must admit that this is rather a ``Schroedinger'' deadline: half dead and half alive - you can never now for sure).
