... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

Next: ZGSC (Compressed GSC) and XSKYMAP . ... This is a preliminary report on an investigation of the quality and properties of plates digitized during creation of the Guide Star Catalog (GSC). The results will be vital for reclassifying GSC objects. ... Many objects are measured on more than one plate, and thus have multiple catalog entries. ... Among the shortcomings of the GSC are: biased magnitudes and incorrect classifications for certain objects, presence of artifact objects. ...

... Local and Regional Coordinators, and OBSERVERS are needed for Friday night's spectacular Aldebaran Occultation and Graze Aldebaran is the brightest star, other than the Sun, that can be occulted by the Moon. ... Use your camcorder (or a borrowed camcorder) to record a strong local television station. ... Encourage other amateur astronomers, and other friends and relatives in the region of visibility to record the occultation with camcorders. ... This event is called an "occultation" by astronomers. ...

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 . ...

REPORT ON THE PIERRE DELIGNE FELLOWSHIP, 2011 SERGEY OBLEZIN During 2011 I have been working on developing a representation theory approach to mirror symmetry and quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces, associated with Lie groups of classical type. According to Givental the glN -Whittaker functions, being solutions to the quantum cohomology D-module QH (FlN ) of the complete flag variety FlN = GLN (C)/B , describe the corresponding equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of FlN . ...
