... 12.07.07 Nando - Test the magnitude of aperture corrections to Landoldt Apertures. ... 12.07.07 Palle - Write up some suggestions for tests to verify which FORS/UT combinations really have rotating features. Original text: Sabine's flatfield versus rotators angle look promising, but more tests should be done which do not depend on the structure looking like a finger. ... The halves could be either ordered by rot-angle (e.g. 0-180 together, 180-360 together), or totally random. ...

Cosmic ray intensities (left) compared with predictions (right) from IBEX. The similarity between these observations and predictions as evidenced by the similar color regions supports the local galactic magnetic field direction determined from IBEX observations made from particles at vastly lower energies than the cosmic ray observations shown here. The blue area represents regions of lower fluxes of cosmic rays. ...

... User Guide ] Task: gpnorm Purpose: Correct the polarisation leakage terms for an offset. Categories: calibration GpNorm is a MIRIAD task which corrects gains and polarisation leakage tables for XYphase and leakage offsets. ... GpNorm compares the leakage terms with nominally correct terms, and determines an leakage and XY phase offset to add which will minimise the difference between the two sets of leakages. ... No default. Key: cal The data-set containing the nominally correct leakage table. ...

Separation of a sum of chaotic signals corrupted by Gaussian channel noise into the components with a method based on chaotic synchronous response is discussed. In order to establish the response, a procedure of iterating the maps, inverse to the maps that generate the chaotic signals, is proposed. ...

Our survey of the exact methods of light scattering theory compares some properties of various methods and briefly discusses their similarities and differences. We give some basic references, including those to available codes realizing the methods and to other recent reviews. ... The review considers only a few methods but does it very good and completely enough (there are given over 500 references). ... At the moment the review is in Russian, but its English translation is in progress. ...

Constraints in the 0- 0 plane from gravitational lensing Phillip Helbig et al. ... Advantages of using gravitational lensing to learn about the cosmological model include the fact that it is based on relatively well understood as- trophysics and that it makes use of information from an interme- diate redshift range, complementing tests which use information primarily from the low-redshift (e.g. cosmic ows) or high-redshift (e.g. cosmic microwave background uctuations) regimes. ...

Experimental rocket R-1A . To mature mass and operating characteristics of rocket R-1, its designers proposed to use an integral fuel tank and a warhead separated from the rocket at the ascent phase completion. In this case, only the ascent phase appeared to be rated for the launch vehicle and considerably more favorable regarding mechanical and thermal loads as compared to the atmospheric portion of the descent phase of the flight trajectory. ...

Only the Moon rotates around the Earth. ... Gipparch suggested that the Sun turned around the Earth steady and in circumference but the Earth is displaced according its centre. ... The orbit point in which the Sun is nearer to the Earth Gipparch called perigee and the most remote one he called apogee . ...

Next: Jets Up: M.D. Smith Previous: High-Mass Star Formation Contents . By contrast, stars of low mass like our Sun are formed within molecular clumps. Michael Smith has been investigating the clumps and the individual cores they contain within one nearby cloud near the star Rho Ophiuchi. With Stanke (Hawaii), Khanzadyan (Heidelberg) and Gredel (Calar Alto), he has determined the masses of over 100 protostellar cores and compared this to the distribution of masses for stars. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .
