Meteors are more than just pretty lights in the sky. Since the majority of meteor-producing meteoroids originate from comets, they contain invaluable information about these objects not otherwise obtainable. ... One such possibility is the planet Mars. ... Taking into account the slower average speed of incoming material at the heliocentric distance of Mars from the Sun, a meteoroid of the same mass entering the martian atmosphere at 30km/sec would produce a meteor +0.5 mag fainter than at Earth. ...

Garcia April 14, 2010 XMS high/mid/low resolution event rates for bright AGN mrg-2010-02v2 This memo arises out of the concern that the bright AGN that will be used to observed strong gravity effects ­ in particular those for which time-resolved measurements of test particle orbits will be made ­ may generate counting rates in the XMS that are sufficient to overwhelm it. ...

... omgchain (omgchain-1.8.1) [?? ... The SAS task omcomb is called by omgchain when the current ODF contains files obtained in the Engineering-2 (full frame, low resolution) mode of OM. In this mode the data from the OSW is split into four sub-windows. For instance, the -pixel image can be placed in four image files, each containing a vertical -pixel strip. Combining the Engineering-2 files into one image is the default option, which, if desired, can be switched off. ...

You Can Make Stellar Images Brighter . Articles | ... A few months ago I wrote an article titled "You Can’t Make Them Brighter". So why am I now writing that you can make them brighter. ... The image of a focused star is actually a small disk called the Airy disk, named after the 19 th century scientist Sir George Airy. ... For a given aperture, a smaller Airy disk means that the light is focused to a smaller disk and is therefore brighter. ... www.astronomy.net . About Astronomy Net | ...
