... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Soft flare rejection for . The EPIC-pn fast timing mode was designed so that a time resolution of 0.029 milliseconds can be achieved. ... Below this energy the data is affected by so-called soft flares which are caused by stack overflows generated by high energy particles. These so-called soft flares have sharp rise (from 0 counts/sec to several thousand counts/sec in 0.10-0.15 sec) then decaying back 0 counts/sec slightly slower in about 0.3-0.4 sec). ...

. Unix considers any device attached to the system to be a file. And that includes your terminal! . By default, a command treats your terminal as the standard input file from which to read in information. Your terminal is also treated as the standard output file to which information is sent from the command. This action can be changed by redirecting standard input and standard output from and to any other file. Redirecting standard input . Redirecting standard output . Appending standard output to a file .

... Recall that (Voevodsky's) motives correspond to a certain 'universal cohomology theory for smooth algebraic varieties'. Note that in contrast with 'classical' categories of motives (i.e. Chow, homological and ef numerical ones) Voevodsky's DMgmf DMgm are endowed with natural (and highly non-trivial) structures of triangulated categories. ... I also proved several new results on motives: they concern coniveau spectral sequences, motivic cohomology, and unramified cohomology. ...

... Introduction: E-, M- and S-type asteroids are widely considered as remnants of differentiated parent bodies; specifically, Ms might have been their cores [e. g., 1, 2]. The conviction is based on the visible-range albedo (medium to high) and overall spectral curves (slightly reddish to red) of the small planets corresponding to these of metal iron and igneous silicate assemblages. ... It seems the spectral features superimpose to the spectral characteristics of metal iron and igneous silicates. ...
