ALMA | ... In this section, we explain why we need to correct phase fluctuations and ALMA's strategy to do this. Rapid fluctuations will be corrected with water vapour radiometers (WVRs). The Cavendish Astrophysics Group was also a leading contributor to the ALMA prototype WVRs, which were put through their paces in tests at the Submillimeter Array (SMA). ... The Cavendish Astrophysics Group in partnership with the Onsala Space Observatory built two prototype WVRs for the ALMA project. ...

The theory predicts that the oscillation period should be proportional to the square root of the oscillating mass, including the mass of the clip. Note that gravity plays no part here: the oscillation period would be the same on the Moon or in zero-g. Denoting square root by SQRT, we have . ...

... These values are functions of the geographical (geodesic) latitude and the height of the point above the sea level. ... The option also permits to solve the reverse problem — to calculate approximate values of observatory latitude and its height above the sea level depending on the introduced values of dxy and dz. ... It should be mentioned that low precision of dxy and dz for some observatories in the list maintained by MPC leads to negative value of height above the sea level for some of them. ...

We have designed the laboratory model of static Fourier spectrometer for onboard usage for spectral study of atmosphere and ionosphere. The gain of model is to simulate onboard FS which will not have any moving elements (all its optical elements will be mounted at fused quartz monolithic construction), to compare experimental results with theoretical estimations and to measure MTF of CCD array. ... This fact connected with low frequency response of CCD array due to small format of it. ...
