PROJECT SUMMARY (max 3000 characters) The principal goals of the project are the observational and theoretical investigation of complex cosmic objects where the processes of dust scattering, absorption and emission play significant roles. ... Development of light scattering theory and computer codes to calculate the optical properties of non-spherical inhomogeneous particles and laboratory measurements of light scattering characteristics of irregularly shaped particles. ...

... For moving objects such as asteroids, comets, or planets, it is useful to include ephemeris information, both to provide predicted coordinates for planning observations, and to allow accurate airmass calculations in the reductions. ... These times can be given either as Modified Julian Dates ( ), or as ordinary date strings like 1995 Jan 23.0 . To allow good interpolation, include two ephemeris entries before and two after the interval of observations. ... UT date --- column label: DATE . ...

... Tour Objects Tours can be created using objects from within the Autostar database or a user can enter in different objects (such as a newly discovered comet). ... Automatic Mode: As the user advances to each object, the title of the object appears on line 1 of the display while its descriptive text automatically starts scrolling across line 2. ... For example: STAR "Rigel" LANDMARK az alt "title" "description" Enter the azimuth (az) for the desired object in the following format xxxdxxmxxs. ...
