... 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 . ...

The TSpec SlitViewer window controls the TripleSpec slitviewer. Most of the controls are standard guiding controls . ... Bkgnd Sub status and control of automatic background subtraction: . The first field shows the current state (Off or On). Off turns off background subtraction. On / New turns on background subtraction (if off) or takes a new background image (if on). X cancels the current Off, On or New command. ... This field is only visible when background subtraction is on. ...

The multiscale analysis of heterogeneous structures is actually an important and effective tool of mathematical modeling in physics, technique and biology. ... The special year will extend the existing cooperation between French and Russian researchers in the multiscale analysis and in mathematical modeling in hemodynamics, taking into consideration the mass transport, coagulation, fluid-structure interaction and other aspects. ...

... Moon Phase below . ... ARTICLE: Why the moon always shows us the same face . ... Before you continue reading, you should know that this was not always the case, i.e. the Moon once was rotating with respect to the Earth, so that on every night a terrestrial observer (if there was one, because this was long, long before mankind appeared on our planet, and even before any major animals had appeared) saw another face of the Moon. ... Figure 1 (not to scale) shows how we can imagine the system Earth-Moon...
