... These are plugged into plug-plate holes drilled at the predicted locations of suitable guide stars in the field of view. ... In particular, any departure from the ideal elastic curve from the tubing anchor point to the hole appears to affect the rotation angle of the plug. ... No structure of the residual plug angle appeared significant when these data were examined in 3-D. Figure 3: The plug rotation angle has a standard deviation of 54њ (201њ peak-valley). ... How large can the rotation error be? ...

Diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) and atomic lines are observed as interstellar absorptions in GALAH and other massive spectroscopic stellar surveys. By observing a given DIB toward many stars which are nearly in the same direction, but at different distances, one can reconstruct absorption sites along the line of sight. ...

Solutions of several absolute tasks of the scattering theory have been obtained (on the optical depth of the ionospheric plasma layer, on the value of radio wave anomalous attenuation, on anomalous refraction, on the backscattered signal intensity for the source being placed within a plasma layer). ...

Cosmic ray intensities (left) compared with predictions (right) from IBEX. The similarity between these observations and predictions as evidenced by the similar color regions supports the local galactic magnetic field direction determined from IBEX observations made from particles at vastly lower energies than the cosmic ray observations shown here. The blue area represents regions of lower fluxes of cosmic rays. ...
