... Exoplanets . ... Artists impression of the blue exoplanet. ... This exoplanet is located in the constellation of Vulpecula, the fox, a faint pattern inside the Summer Triangle.ТљТљ This planet is a not too distant 63 light years away so has been studied by space-based telescopes.Тљ Data collected from Hubbleт??s Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) when this planet moved behind its star showed that in the shadow of the star the light reflected from HD 189733b reduced into the blue part of the spectrum. ...

... 237S (SIMBAD/NED BibCode) ================================================================================ Keywords: Sun: UV radiation - atmospheric effects - Sun: atmosphere - lines: identification Description: An ultraviolet atlas of the solar spectrum with a spectral resolution of 15mA in the region 1948-2000A is presented. ... The wavelength atlas with a list of about 550 lines has been synthesized from data at center of the Sun ({mu}=1) and at {mu}=0.89, smoothed out over an area of 30 arcsec. ...

... Based on the measurements of the Stokes parameters in the continuum and in the broad 0.6563 nm hydrogen emission line obtained with the 6-m telescope for the Seyfert galaxy Mkn 6, secular variability of the hydrogen line profile polarization was discovered; a time lag of less than 2 days between the continuum flux and the polarized continuum emission was determined which corresponds to the size of the region where the polarization of the continuum occurs, less than 0.001 pc. ...

. The file command examines the content of a file and reports what type of file it is. To use the command enter: file filename . Use this command to check the identity of a file, or to find out if executable files contain shell scripts, or are binaries. Shell scripts are text files and can be displayed and edited. Examples .

... Because you are a newly created organization, we are not now making a final determination of your foundation status under section 509(a) of the Code. However, we have determined that you can reason-ably be expectqd, to- be a pubricly supported organization described sectiongn in )WCl), t futCl lr[1o U-10 Accordingly, you will be treated as a publicly supported organization, and not as a private foundation, during an advance ruling period. ...

ARCSAT ID NUMBER: AS01 DESCRIPTIVE TITLE: Search for Short-Period Planets Orbiting Bright White Dwarfs PI: Brett Morris (UW) OBSERVER(S): Brett Morris (UW), Doug Branton (UW) UNCERTIFIED/UNTRAINED OBSERVERS: Undetermined Pre-MAP students ... In addition, since typical white dwarfs are roughly Earth-sized, the transit of an Earth-sized planet can cause changes in brightness on the order of several tens of percent for durations on the order of one minute (Agol 2011). ...

Stellarium 0.12.3 . ... StelTextureNew Class Reference . ... Get a human-readable message describing the error that happened during loading (if any). ... A texture can be in one of 4 states, depending on how it is loaded. These are Uninitialized, Loading, Loaded, Error. ... If load mode specified with createTextureBackend is Normal, it is immediately loaded (internally, it's in Loading state), and one createTextureBackend is done, its state changes to Loaded on success or Error if loading failed. ...

... The described algorithm is suitable for measurements of complex images of stars. ... a) the zero-based number of stars in the complex (multicentric) image, . b) set of preliminary coordinates - x i , y i , for all stars, index i is number of a star, . ... i - index of a star in the complex image; . ... These parameters are calculated by a nonlinear method of a least squares.The main output parameters of this algorithm are x i , y i ; where the index i is number of a star in the multicentric image. ...

... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . ... ESO - Public Surveys . ... the recommended values to use for DIT, . ... Detector on-chip integration (DIT): seconds. to your chosen value - a separate page gives recommended values to use for DIT - for modes 1 and 2 below you may wish to start with the maximum recommended values as these will minimize the effect of read noise (a total object exposure of Y secs with DIT=X secs will produce Y/X lots of read noise) and give you a lower limit on the time needed. ...
