... Up: Telescope and Instrument Control Systems . ... CICADA (Young et al. 1997) is a multi-process, distributed application for the control of astronomical data acquisition systems. ... CICADA can be used to dynamically configure support for astronomical instruments that can be made up of multiple cameras and multiple instrument controllers. ... An example of a multiple part instrument configuration - a wide field imager (WFI) - is described here. ... Figure 1: The Controller Configuration GUI. ...

... Science Users Information > Observing with ESO Telescopes > Visiting Astronomers . ... All users who are allocated observing time in Visitor Mode at the La Silla Paranal Observatory are urged to read carefully the Instructions for Visiting Astronomers , which specify the policies and procedures that currently apply to Visiting Astronomers travelling to Chile to conduct observations with ESO telescopes and describe the practical steps to be taken for the logistic preparation of observing missions. ...

... Astronomers of the SAO together with an international group of scientists have proposed an explanation to the long-standing mystery of why magnetic fields are more common amongst cool white dwarf stars than amongst young and hotter ones. ... As the result magnetic white dwarfs demonstrate excess in their frequencies in the temperature range below 14000K. The authors also show that the strongly magnetic white dwarfs are of the oldest stars of the Galaxy originated from intermediate-mass relic stars. ...

Plurality" was Goddard's term for multiple rocket stages, and the patents also covered expansion nozzles and liquid fuel, although Goddard did not experiment with them until 1915 and 1922, respectively . ... A rocket is essentially a heat engine, a device for converting the energy of heat (obtained from the chemical energy of the fuel) into mechanical energy--here the kinetic energy mv 2 / 2 of its exhaust...

... To avoid extensive numerical calculations in the statistical simulations, we treat the continuous evolution of each binary component as a sequence of a finite number of basic evolutionary states (for example, main sequence, red (super)giant, helium (Wolf-Rayet) star,     hot WD), in which stellar parameters significantly differ from each other. ... Figure 2: Schematic representation of the typical evolutionary track of a massive binary system with normal and compact star stages indicated. ...
