... Ignacio Ugarte Urra's PhD thesis topic is the investigation of coronal bright points. In his first paper (in collaboration with Gerry Doyle and Maria Madjarska) he investigated the formation, evolution and decay of a coronal bright point via a spectroscopic analysis of its transition region counterpart and the evolution of the underlying magnetic bipole during 3 days of almost continuous observations. ... In general the bright point has a radiance 4 times higher than that of the network. ...

It's an illusion created by the finite speed of light and rapid motion," Biretta said. ...

... Pluto's orbit is also highly inclined -- tilted 17 degrees to the orbital plane of the other planets. ... Ground-based observations indicate that Pluto's surface is covered with methane ice and that there is a thin atmosphere that might freeze and fall to the surface as the planet moves away from the Sun. ... This is the first image-based surface map of the solar system's most remote planet, Pluto. ... This is the first surface map of Charon, the moon of the solar system's most remote planet, Pluto....

... This is the truly fun part, observing molecular and atomic gas in star-forming regions with a variety of telescopes. Depending on the temperature and density of the gas, different observations are necessary to study the components of star-forming regions. Because stars form in cool gaseous regions, I most often use radio and sub-mm observations, but I also look for opportunities to make complementary observations using infrared and optical telescopes. ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description / Specifying source region shapes . When radiusstyle =`contour', the task calculates the source region shape as an elliptical locus which approximates the contour of the PSF at a given flux value. ... Clearly, in order to calculate the shape of such a flux contour, it is necessary firstly to normalize the PSF to the source brightness and secondly to determine the flux level (in `brightness' units per pixel) at which to find the contour. ...

... Astronomers Demonstrate a Global Internet Telescope . ... European and US radio astronomers have demonstrated a new way of observing the Universe – through the Internet! ... This allows imaging of the objects with unprecedented detail, and in real-time, which would have been impossible only a few years ago. ... Surrounded by clouds of dusty gas and emitting strongly in radio waves, the object is poised at the end of its life, heading toward a cataclysmic explosion known as a 'supernova'. ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...
