... Why are gravity and quantum mechanics incompatible with each other? Why can't they be combined into a single formula or concept? ... RELATED TOPICS: GRAVITY | ... The general theory of relativity is our best concept of gravity. ... Particles then move in the shortest paths along that distorted grid, a process we interpret as the effects of gravity. Thus, relativity, in essence, gives a geometric interpretation of gravity. ... Get instant access to subscriber content on Astronomy.com! ...

September, 2008 The root of the problem is that people are morons, more particularly, developers are morons, very particularly, xterm developers are morons. ... In fairness, it's not really the xterm that's incompatible, it's the xterm descriptions that ship with modern operating systems that are incompatible with older xterms. ... The developers had to know that people would actually USE the cool new features they put into xterms. ... A modern xterm! ... Line 'em up along with the xterm developers. ...

Converts from 3D space to a simpler 2D space – orders by magnetic field line (assumes dipole geometry). McIlwain's shell parameter (L) is a measure of “equatorial radius.” ? labels a field line, even in a non-dipole field. Magnetic Field Intensity (B) – measure of “latitude.” L – Undefined for open field lines. B (static field model) doesn’t sufficiently order the XMM data due to dynamic environment . ...

The proper motions in the Hipparcos output catalogue are also epoch 1991.25, the midpoint of the mission. ... The proper motion in Right Ascension ( RA_PM ) can be in sec. of time/yr, arcsec/yr or mas/yr. ... For such objects, a custom proper motion calculation is recommended to ensure the target will be in the target acquisition aperture at the time of the observation....

... In the left part of the screen the items of ephemeris menu are situated. To the right one can see corresponding settings. In case the newly introduced settings are incompatible with each other or with other ones (it can be the result of improper change of previously existed setting or, what is virtually the same, result of violating the order from top down in which settings must be introduced) the warning notice appears on screen and conflicting settings are marked by special symbol. ...

spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 21 December 1998, 1400 UT (RR) . ... This is not as trivial a question as one might think, since it is not enough to know the location with respect to the Earth and/or the Sun in some arbitrary coordinate system. One may have to consider things like differences between the solar equatorial plane and the Earth's orbital plane, the changing direction of Earth's spin axis during the year, and the magnetic dipole orientation. ... Geocentric solar ecliptic . ...

... AstroCC is a coordinate conversion utility for astronomy. It accepts an object designation or the coordinates of an object and calculates coordinates in alternative systems, and at different dates, times, and locations. It also provides lunar and bright planet coordinates to aid in planning observations. ... BJD values may also be retrieved from http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/time/utc2bjd.html which is based on Eastman et al. ... Coordinate data are obtained from SIMBAD. ...

The aim of this section of the course is to familiarise you with celestial Coordinates. ... I found some good notes explaining the celestial coordinate system on the web: . ... 1st Dec: 04hr, 00min In addition to the equatorial coordinates described in the notes above, astronomers also use (at least) two other coordinate systes: galactic coordinates and ecliptic coordinates. ... Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

... Coordinate system . It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

Drift scan are are normally done in coordinates of date (current coordinates). ... The telescope then remains fixed as the sky drifts by. ... Since the az, za is remaining fixed, the drift is being done in current not J2000 coordinates. ... To see how large this change was, a drift scan in J2000 coordinates (15 asecs/sidereal sec epoch J2000) was computed and then the relative motion of the az, za coordinates were plotted. For each day computed: . ... 2005: .5 amin/hour . 2006: .6 amin/hour . ...
