It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

... This proposal seeks to investigate the properties of the GRB-SN and therefore enhance our understanding of the GRB central engine, GRB progenitors, and the associated physical properties. ... Their results favour low metallicity, sub-luminous galaxies with L A significant part of Rapoport's PhD thesis will be dedicated to better understand the Supernovae that become GRBs, and to investigate the connections between GRB central engines and the progenitor stars that explode. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

This section of AMPLE enables one to make ephemeris calculations in various coordinate systems (spherical, rectangular) connected with different main planes (equator, ecliptic, horizon) and having origin in different points: geocenter, any point on the Earth surface, the Sun, any major planet, any minor planet. The choice of some minor planet as a center gives possibility to find approaches of the minor planet with any set of major planets and minor planets. ... equinox . 1950 2000 true . ...

RTT150 . ... The primary mirror 1 reflects light to the secondary mirror 2 which sends the converging beam of light to the system of four flat mirrors 3, 4, 5 and 6. That allows the beam of light to leave the telescope strictly along its polar axis and be collected in Coude focus. ... That's why at any tube position (for any rotation along the declination axis) beam of light parallel to the principal axis after reflection on mirror 3 follows the direction of declination axis. ...
