... The first column shows the kinematical diagrams, where is the angle between the line of sight on the object and the vector of rotation about Z -axis, and V S is objects line-of-sight velocity relative to an observer at rest at the position of the Sun. The straight lines are regression fits, whose slopes yield the subsystem’s rotation rate. The second column shows the relations between metallicity and distance from the Galactic plane. ... privious figure | next figure . ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

. Multi-epoch observations of the ЮВ Pictoris b exoplanet. The planet was imaged in 2003 (left image) in the L' band (3.8 ЮМm) in the plane of the circumstellar disk surrounding the star (not seen here). It was detected again October 2009 (middle) when it had moved to the other side of the star. The new observations made March 2010 at 2.18 ЮМm are shown in the right panel. The planet has moved yet again relative to its position measured in 2009. Astronomy Astrophysics

The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... For reliable estimation of the accuracy of asteroid CCD observations we usually consider from ten or more various NUMBERED MINOR PLANETS (NMPs) observed during several nigths per month (more then 50 positions). ... They can be considered as an indicator of accuracy of the CCD positional observations with given MPC code. ... For any NUMBERED minor planet the (O-C) values must be zero if the errors of observations and the errors of its theory are absent. ...

... The derived position here agrees with the position from recent ATCA observations, RA=15h 01m 34.74s, Dec=39 18 39.2" (Tasker, private communication) which found the source unresolved. Because of the relatively large position offset, the reality of the fainter component 0.12" to the west is somewhat in doubt. However, the ATCA centroid position is offset by 0.3" to the south-east of the VLBA position, suggesting that the faint component may be part of more extended structure. ...
