... The UK has a very vibrant solar system science community highly regarded internationally. ... The PPARC Introductory and Advanced Courses in Solar System Plasmas has, since the1980s, played an important part in the early training of solar, heliospheric, magnetospheric and ionospheric physicists. ... We therefore seek support to provide the 2007 Introductory Solar System Plasmas School, which will provide valuable training for the next generation of solar system scientists . ...

Computer models of objects (galaxies, circumstellar disks, etc.) are often generated to compare with observed images. ... When comparing models to WFPC2 images, it is often forgotten that the instrumental PSF can have a very significant effect. ... Also, the undersampling of the WFPC2 cameras makes the model image very sensitive to subpixel alignment. ... Left) WFPC2 WFC F814W image of HH30 (0.1 arcsec/pixel); (Middle) Model of HH30 disk; (Right) Model of HH30 disk convolved with a Tiny Tim model PSF. ...

The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

Amanda Karakas One of the most important research fields in astrophysics is the study of the origin of the elements. ... Asymptotic Giant Blanch (AGB) Stars: For low and intermediate-mass stars (with initial masses between about 0.8 to 8 solar masses) the most important nucleosynthesis occurs when stars evolve off the main sequence to the giant branches. ... This indicates that these stars obtained their unusual abundances via mass transfer from a previous red giant star, that has long evolved away. ...

... An estimate the rotation period of cometary nuclei is important for understanding and describing the physical processes of the cometary activity. Unfortunately, the measurements of the rotation periods of the comet nucleus depend on the model assumptions and it is one of the main reasons for the scatter of the estimates given in various articles for a given comet. ... Right: the image of the comet 29P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 1 obtained at the 6-m telescope. ...
