... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... Updates to HST Standard-Star Fluxes . ... These data are in an STScI data base named CRCALSPEC and have been divided into two categories to help the user understand the origin and accuracy of these flux distributions. ... 1990, ApJS, 73, 413) and Oke (1990, AJ, 99, 1621) spectra are available. Oke (1990) used the DoubleSpectrograph on the 5-m Hale Telescope to obtain these spectra for HST calibration; and these data are identified in the HST data bases by the keyword OBSMODE=OKE DBSP. ...

The pipeline applies corrections for differences in gain and binning during the flux calibration of the science data. ...

This form calculates which transits of the 1039 known transiting exoplanets are observable from a given location at a given time. Specify a time window, an observing location (either an observatory from the list or choose "Enter latitude/longitude" at the end of the list), and optionally any filters (e.g. minimum transit depth or elevation). The output includes transit time and elevation, and links to further information about each object, including finding charts and airmass plots. ...

An astronomer by training, I currently work at the Australia Telescope National Facility , part of the CSIRO . I am part of the computing group for the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), where my job is to develop science analysis software for the ASKAP processing pipeline. The huge volumes of data that ASKAP will produce mean that all observations will be processed automatically in pipelines. ... Matthew Whiting . ... Australia . ...

This paper shows options for configuring a symmetric linear nulling array as a Planet Finder. Of special interest are linked in-line pairs of identical sub-arrays with a quarter wave phase shift between them and staggered by half an element spacing. ...

Nuffield Research Placements offer up to 1000 funded places a year, so that students across the UK can get an insight into the world of scientific research. The Nuffield Foundation offers bursaries to first year post-16 science students in England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland, helping students to take part in science based projects, lasting 4-6 weeks, in universities, industry or research institutions during the summer holidays. ... 2012 James Murphy : (pdf) . ... 2007 Emma Riley: (ppt) . ...
