Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2008 18:31:24 -0400 From: Rodger Doxsey Subject: HST safing last night Last night, the NSSC-I, and all the Instruments, were placed into safemode by the 486 (spacecraft) computer. ... At this point, it seems the problem is in the hardware located in a unit called the CU/SDF (Command unit/Science data formatter I believe). This unit is associated with the NSSC-I, and handles commands and telemetry functions between the NSSC-I and the instruments and the 486. ...

... Design of Imaging Optics . Analyzing Optics . ... The high resolution near infrared camera (CONICA) for the first VLT unit telescope is under development. It serves as a multi-mode instrument for the wavelength region between 1.0 and 5.0 microns, providing diffraction-limited spatial resolution when combined with the adaptive optic system NAOS of the VLT (Rosset et al. ...

... During the past year the Astrophysics Data System has set up two mirror sites for the benefit of users around the world with a slow network connection to the main ADS server in Cambridge, MA. ... The software used to perform the actual mirroring of the databases consists of a main program running on the ADS master site initiating the mirroring procedure, and a number of scripts, run on the mirror sites, which perform the transfer of files and software necessary to update the database. ...

... However, the feed matrix MF can radically change the polarization state; for example, as we shall see a dual-circular feed changes the order of the Stokes parameters in equation 1. ... We have Q src = P src cos 2PA src (8a) U src = P src sin 2PA src (8b) P src = (Q 2 src + U 2 src ) 1=2 (8c) PA src = 0:5 tan 1  U src Q src  (8d) { 5 { As we track a source, the parallactic angle PA az of the azimuth arm rotates on the sky. ... LBW LBW is a very wide band feed with native linear polarization. ...

Example 2: Figure 8 (90 Kbytes) shows an image of M31. While this is not a particularly spectacular image of M31 it is nevertheless unique as it was taken in a suburban backyard using a Lynxx CCD camera. The exposure is unfiltered. ... The image scale in this system is 41 arcseconds per pixel which yields a total field size of 2.2 x 1.9 square degrees. At this pixel resolution M32 blends into the light of M31, although NGC 205 (marked with a red arrow) is plainly visible. ... Page 6 . ...
