Appendix B: The Effects of Thermal Changes on the "Absolute" Position of the Secondary . ... I will use the same nomenclature for the rod forces here as I used in Appendix A. In Appendix A, the axial force balance equation at the horizon was shown to be . ... The quantity that we really wish to derive is , where is the rod elongation at some initial epoch (i.e. when the rods were first tensioned) and where is the rod elongation at some later time after the rod temperatures had changed. ...

... A uv variable can change its value in any part of the uv variable stream. So it can change its value after each call to uvread , uvnext or uvscan . The uv routines which need to know if a uv variable has changed ( uvprobvr , uvcopyvr and uvupdated ) normally (i.e. by default) work on whether the particular variable(s) of interest has changed since the last ``mark'' in the uv stream. ... The uvmark routine provides greater control at marking the position in the stream. ...

... The shape and width of observed PSFs varies slightly over time, due to the change in focus of the telescope. The focus variation consists of two terms: a secular change, due to the ongoing shrinkage of the Metering Truss Assembly, at a currently estimated rate of 0.85 mm month-1, and short-term variations, typically on an orbital time-scale (the so-called "breathing" of the telescope). ... a(1 pix) = 0.0338 +/- 0.0038 . ... See sample PSF subtraction in Figure 7.2 on page 148 ). ...

... The system temperature versus turret position has shown a bump (increase) for some receivers at the turret focal position. The receivers that had this increase also had platform focus curves where the platform focus position was lower than expected (or the horn was too high). ... After the focus change a 20 deg amplitude sine wave was done using the turret about the turret focus position. ... The plot shows the difference in Tsys versus turret position before and after the focus change. ...

This is also demonstrated by Fig. 19 (lower panel) which shows the wavelength dependence of the factors of linear and circular polarization for particles of magnetite as was done by Shapiro ([ 1975 ]). ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

This is a copy of a Press Release from E.S.O. The most recent ESO observations of bright Comet Hyakutake have shown rapid changes in the innermost coma, within a few hundred kilometres from the cometary nucleus. This result has only become possible because of the unusual combination of a bright comet being near the Earth, together with the excellent imaging quality of the ESO 3.5-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT). ...
