... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . Survey processing . ... VISTA is a 4-m class wide field survey telescope for the southern hemisphere, equipped with a near infrared camera (1.65 degree diameter field of view at VISTA's nominal pixel size) containing 67 million pixels of mean size 0.34 arcsec and available broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,K s and a narrow band filter at 1.18 micron. A wide field visible camera, if constructed, could also be used on VISTA. ... Tile . ... ESO VISTA Public Surveys . ...

... In particular, members of the project regularly organize events dedicated to various interesting astronomical phenomena and events - solar and lunar eclipses, transit of Venus, etc. On November 3rd a team of astronomers will venture deep into Turkana National Park, Kenya and attempt to broadcast the magic of a total solar eclipse to the world. ... Solar eclipse . A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon fully or partially blocks the Sun from our view. ...

... More on 51 Peg: . The discovery of a Jupiter--mass planet in orbit around the solar--type star 51Peg has been reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz (Geneva Observatory) on October 6th at the 9th Cambridge workshop on "cool stars, stellar systems, and the sun" held at Florence (Italy). ... Recall that the measurements of radial velocity only yield v sin i which in turn gives us M sin i. For most values of i, sin i will be greater than 0.5 and this gives a mass estimate of 0.5 Jupiter masses. ...

... We present a computer program for modelling energy flux distribution and light curves of eclipsing binaries from far ultraviolet to infrared regions. The Roche model is assumed. Proximity effects of components (reflection of radiation and surface gravity darkening) are taken into account. ...

... Note that in the low-mass model, the ``secondary'' is more massive than the visible ``primary''; however, we shall follow the convention used in most of the Aurig? literature and continue to refer to the F star as the primary because it is clearly the primary source of luminosity of the system. Doppler shifts of absorption lines seen during eclipse imply an orbital velocity at the edge of the secondary more compatible with the low-mass model (Saito et al. ...
