Galaxy Detection within the RATS project Michael Campbell Zone of Avoidance Our solar system lies about two thirds, or 25,000 light years, away from the galactic centre of the Milky Way. ... The Galaxy Threshold Value After much trial and error it was discovered that the vast majority of object with a star class less than 0.35 were galaxies and the vast majority of objects above 0.35 were stars. I called this the Galaxy Threshold Value. ... Not every object of star class beneath 0.35 is a galaxy. ...

Some Documentation for the IDL ICRED . ... This is the system which recieves all command inputs. it decodes inputs and selects tasks, parses parameter inputs and also runs the 'go', 'list' and 'help' commands. It does no error checking, for example to see if the parameter inputs are sensible (e.g. it does not check if an x-range has been entered as 'chicken', rather than a more understandable range of say 10,20). 2) the task decoders: icred_<taskname>.pro . ...

Next: Binary Radiopulsars with Black Up: Black Holes in Binaries Previous: Black Holes in Binaries . Two different types of stellar BH formation exist: (1) direct core collapse   of a massive star and (2) AIC of a NS. A BH of the first type presumably will have a mass comparable to that of the collapsing star and can be born both from a single star and in a binary system. ...

Plasma is sometimes called "the fourth state of matter", beyond the familiar three--solid, liquid and gas. It is a gas in which atoms have been broken up into free-floating negative electrons and positive ions , atoms which have lost electrons and are left with a positive electric charge. ... The fluorescent lamp , widely used in the home and at work, contains plasma (main constituent, mercury vapor) which is heated and agitated by electricity, from the power line to which the lamp is connected. ...

... LWN.net FAQ . ... Read-copy-update (RCU) is a mutual exclusion technique which can operate without locking most of the time. It can yield significant performance benefits when the data to be protected is accessed via a pointer, is read frequently, changed rarely, and references to the structure are not held while a kernel thread sleeps. The core idea behind RCU is that, when the data requires updating, a pointer to a new structure containing the new data can be stored immediately. ...

... The first two catalogues (the one has been calculated using all input catalogues and the second one using only catalogues obtained with CALC/SOLVE software) provide a stochastic improvement of the ICRF 2. and the last two of them one allow us to account also for systematic errors in the current ICRF version. ...
