Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

ESO Phase 3 Data Release Description Please start from this template when preparing the documentation for your ESO Phase 3 data release. ... Finally, the release description will be published as submitted - without further editing by ESO - to support the user community in utilizing the data. ... Please indicate if this is a catalogue data release. ... Data Reduction and Calibration Please address the following questions for scientific catalogue data, particularly in case of source catalogues: . ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

Up: Sky Surveys . ... The object catalogue and compressed pixel data are stored online and are accessible via the WWW. ... small area (up to 15arcmin) pixel images with attached object catalogue, . ... The primary data format is FITS for both images and binary tables of object catalogues, which enables porting of the data into established software packages. ... In this way, it is possible to browse the data by clicking on objects in the image display or the catalogue list to highlight them in both. ...

The Extragalactic ALFA Zone of Avoidance team is mapping the distribution of low-Galactic-latitude galaxies and large scale structures through detection of galaxies' 21-cm emission with ALFA. This Zone of Avoidance (ZOA) survey finds new HI galaxies which lie hidden behind the Milky Way, and also provides redshifts and other HI parameters for partially-obscured galaxies known at other wavelengths. ... Discovery and Follow-up of a Nearby Galaxy from the Arecibo Zone of Avoidance Survey. ...

... In brief: the frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved for a dust under assumption of spherically-symmetric geometry for its distribution taking into account particle size distribution and quantum heating effects for the very small dust particles. ... Table: Model parameters for IRAS04296+3429. ... parameter . ... hot dust shell) . ... The best fit to the spectral energy distribution of IRAS04296 is shown by heavy solid line (see Table2 for details concerning parameters of the model...

This command uses the quality parameters calculated by FIT/ROMAFOT for each object and allows the user to select a threshold to accept or refuse the fit. ... Using the cursor the user can select objects whose exceeds the value given by the vertical cursor position (x--axis) or objects whose SIQ exceeds the quantity corresponding to the horizontal cursor position (y--axis), or both. ...

Databases (NSDC) of the Natural Planetary Satellites. ... NSDC: Database of astrometric observations of Natural Planetary Satellites . ... They are thoroughly looking for observations in different sources, creating their owndatabases which are then mostly inaccessible to other researchers. ... In the file "content" with explications, the reference is given to the data source as well as the bibliographic reference. ... Data sources. ... Why a specific bibliographic database for Natural satellites? ...

... Several of the tasks in the spectral package share a common set of parameters. ... Each task in the spectral package has a hidden parameter which points to the pkgpars parameter file. The parameters stored here include the observed data sets and the model descriptor, and instrument-specific parameters. ... The observed counts and error data set contained in the table file ( *_obs.tab ) produced by qpspec will be the input data for subsequent spectral tasks. ...
