... Following the Observatory's initiative in 2002, drawing attention locally to the issue of light pollution and the problems it produces both for astronomy and awareness of the night sky, and for saving energy and improving the natural environment, Mark Bailey made a presentation on light pollution, on 7 May 2003, to the Armagh City and District Council Environment, Health and Recreation Committee. This focused specifically on the growing problem of light pollution in the City of Armagh. ...

IBIS Data Analysis . ... IBIS . ... Flat Fielding - Introduction . The images obtained by IBIS will have intensity variations across the field of view that are not due to the solar image, but rather caused by instrumental effects that alter the observed intensity in each point of the field of view. ... IBIS Flat Fielding Techniques . ... Therefore, it is desirable to obtain the flat field measurements center on a point along the equator near the heliographic center of the solar disk. ...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...

Next: Geometric Corrections Up: Raw to Calibrated Previous: Artifacts . ... The majority of modern detectors (e.g. CCD, diode--array or image tube) have a nearly linear response while photographic emulsions are strongly non--linear. Even for the `linear' detectors, a number of corrections must be included in the intensity calibration. ... A mathematical function is used to transform data from detectors with non--linear response to a more linear domain. ...

Parkes Counterweight Issues May 4, 2002 1 Background It became clear, during the course of the study of the windloading on the Parkes reflector (ref: AT/39.3/113) that the counterweight was not optimally fulfilling its function. ... Figure 1: The elevation motor currents as a function of the elevation. ... If the weight is positioned below the current centre of mass (32 cm south of the elevation axis), then the horizon current doubles to 8 A; the peak current (at El0 increases by 0.3%. ...

... Yet a survey of college students we conducted in fall 1991 revealed that astrology is almost as popular among science majors as among arts and humanities majors (see box on p. 23). ... While both arts and science students had similar feelings about the accuracy of horoscopes, arts students were more likely to pay attention to their horoscopes, to make conscious decisions based on their horoscopes, to subscribe to astrology, to confuse astronomy and astrology, and to believe in other pseudosciences. ...
