... 3. mJy for ; . ... These criteria were chosen in order to ensure that a well defined, flux-limited sample can be achieved. ... The slightly different radio flux limits north and south of the equator are simply explained: For (and , the limit of the GB6 catalog), it is easy to see that all sources with mJy (the limit of the NORTH20CM catalog) and will be above the much lower flux limit of the GB6 catalog ( mJy; note that the converse does not hold). ...

... This document and the attached postscript figure document an analysis that I did to determine the optimum midpoint and required ranges for both the rotator and azimuth for the 2.5 M telescope. ... I simulate a series of drift scans on the sky for tracks that cover the northern survey area. These tracks cover the range in survey latitude of -60 to +60 degrees, spaced by 10 degrees. ... Along each track the azimuth, elevation, and position angle of the CCD is computed at 1 minute intervals. ...

. 1. Move the cursor to the start of the text block you want to define. 2. Type M-space (the META character followed by a space). This sets a 'mark' at the start of the 'region'. 3. Move the cursor to the end of the text block you want to define as the 'region'. This sets the 'point' at the end of the 'region'. You do not have to type anything to set this 'point', the 'point' is the location of the cursor.

Hideyuki Saio Simon Jeffery are exploring models for the evolution of stars formed by the merger of two white dwarfs. The attached movie provides a simulation of the major events involved in the merger process. ... An initial binary system consists of two white dwarfs of masses M 1 and M 2 (given) with an orbital period ( P ). ... We adopt a simple expression for the white dwarf radius as a function of mass (in solar units): . ... The merged star evolution is simulated by a quadratic expansion . ...

Lord Carrington determined the solar rotation rate by watching low-latitude sunspots back in the 1850s. He defined a fixed solar coordinate system that rotates in a sidereal frame every 25.38 days. ... Carrington coordinates are heliographic and measured in latitude and longitude in that rotating frame. Carrington Time is the rotation and longitude of the point on the Sun that is at the sub-terrestrial point. ... Bartels defined his calendar based on observations of daily geomagnetic activity. ...
