... Future seminars . P a s t seminars . ... Deep Impact: Excaving Comet Tempel 1 " . ... On 4 July 2005 Deep Impact collided with comet Tempel 1, excaving a crater. Deep Impact consisted of two fully functional spacecraft: an impacting spacecraft weighting 364 kg and a flyby spacecraft for observing the impact and relaying data from the impactor. ... The impact was also observed by over 80 ground-based observatories and by several spacecraft (Rosetta, Hubble Space Telescope, Chandra, Spitzer). ...

... Fine Guidance Sensor Instrument Handbook for Cycle 24 > Chapter 6: Writing a Phase II Proposal > 6.4 Overheads . ... Table 6.5, Pos Mode Overheads lists the estimated overheads associated with guide star acquisitions, the initial configuring (standby to operate) of the FGS for science observing, the time for slewing the IFOV from target to target in the observing plan, the acquisition of target stars, and finally configuring the FGS at the end of the observing sequence (operate to standby). ...

Next: The ESO VLT CCD Detectors Software . ... Up: Instrument-Specific Software . ... The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... Image Quality of the VLT . Total Optical Control . First light for the ESO VLT unit telescope 1 occurred during the workshop. ... The image shown (Figure 1 ) here was obtained with the VLT on May 16, 1998, in red light (R band), i.e. while the mirror was still uncoated. ... In this diagram (FIgure 2), the measured image quality of the VLT UT1 astronomical images is plotted versus the ``seeing", as measured by the Seeing Monitor, a small telescope also located on top of the Paranal Mountain. ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ... Since September 1994, GRANAT is in the survey mode. ... Explore pages devoted to individual GRANAT instruments (including main scientific results): . ...

Magnetic field measurements onboard the Interball Tail spacecraft are carried out by the FM-3I instrument which consists of two flux-gate magnetometers covering two different ranges: [-200, +200] nT and [-1000, +1000] nT. Besides scientific goals, the FM-3I experiment data is used to perform the attitude control of the Interball Tail spacecraft. ... August 22, 1995 . ... October 18, 1995 . Top of the page . ...

... Abstract: We present a search for a low-mass Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a z boson decaying to charged leptons at a center-of-mass energy of s\sqrt{s}=1.96~TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The search is performed in a large data set of events containing two opposite-sign leptons (electron, muon) and one or two b-tagged jets. 4:00pm, 472 Willamette Hall . ...

... The object is remarkable because of its low estimated mass and age and because it is associated with a mid-infrared source, an indication of a surrounding dusty disk. Based on the comparison of our spectrum with similar spectra of field M-dwarfs and atmospheric models, we obtain revised estimates of the spectral type, effective temperature and luminosity of the central object. ...
