On this page, we describe what the phase correction algorithms set out to do and the framework we have developed to optimally use all of the available information. ... We are developing a Bayesian framework to combine all the information we have about the current and future meterological conditions (which are naturally accommodated as priors in a Bayesian scheme) with detailed physical models of the atmosphere. ...

The specific goals of this project are detailed in Section . CE itself is discussed in Section . ...

... Initially SAI Supernova Catalogue was presented in the form of filebased system. ... The current version of SAI Supernova Catalogue presents data on supernovae together with data on their parent galaxies. ... The main source of data for the galaxies was LEDA database. ... In some cases our data were compared with the ones from the Asiago Supernova Catalogue and from List of Supernovae at Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, but the compilation of our Catalogue is carried out independently. ...

... Preloaded Parabolic Dish Antennas: Design and Prospects . A novel and an economical concept has been developed for parabolic dish antennas, which can provide a very large collecting area, over a wide frequency range at an affordable cost. In a Preloaded Parabolic Dish Antenna the backup structure of the dish is considerably simplified by preloading its structural members. ... The preloaded design minimizes inertia and wind loads on the dish. It also allows rapid fabrication of the antenna. ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

Next: Examples of data contained Up: Electronic database Previous: Future plans . In astrophysics, the optical constants mainly are used to calculate the optical properties of scatterers, i.e. cross-sections, scattering matrix, etc. ... Optical properties derived from such models have been discussed in some books (see, e.g., [ 2 , 3 ]) and in principle can be calculated by using various light-scattering tools which are freely available via the internet [ 4 ]. ...

... The first step is to open and inspect the camera body. ... Notice that there are snap locks on both sides of the camera body, one of which should already be open since it contained the film removed by the developer. To open the camera body, peel back some of the yellow sticker identifying the camera as KODAK on the top and bottom of the camera and unsnap the plastic pieces. ... You should now have four pieces: the front cover, back cover, middle (main camera with lens), and a cylindrical spool. ...

It is possible to incorporate in the SAS software packages that are not part of the official SAS distribution. These we call 'external packages'. All that is needed is to set the environment variable SAS_PATH to point to all directories that contain SAS components, in the form of a colon-separated list. ... He will have to set the SAS_DIR and SAS_PATH environment variable and call the sas-setup script (preferably in a login script), e.g. (csh): setenv SAS_DIR /usr/sas . ...
