... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

... I rewrote my unit testing code to get the pixmap from python and am debugging the unit tests. ... My new plan is to compare the results from the current version of drizzlepac to my new version. ... I spent the morning solving a link problem with the old version of drizzlepac linking with the unit tests. ... Naturally it did not match the result I got from the new drizzlepac code. ... I did a comparison of the old regression tests to the results from the new code. ... Archive for 2014 . ...

... The first step to improve the FORS calibration is therefore to obtain data to allow a computation of the illumination correction across the field. ... Another limitation on the calibration accuracy has been the brightness of the Landolt standards which have forced the use of extremely short exposures introducing small but non-negligible shutter-time errors and also resulting in a very small number of useful standards per frame. ...

A problem, that can arise when moving from Fortran 77 to Fortran 90, is dependent on a usual deviation from the standard, and has to do especially with user programs. ... With many Fortran 77 implementations we wrote PROGRAM TEST REAL X WRITE(*,10) 10 FORMAT('Give X = ',$) READ(*,*) X WRITE(*,*) X END In Fortran 90 we use "non-advancing I/O" instead. ... In some old Fortran dialects the statement TYPE was used to write on a typewriter terminal and PRINT was used to write on the line printer. ...

... We present a proposed standard for data dictionaries associated with catalogs being accessed through the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Mosaic Catalog Service. Each catalog made available for searching must have a data dictionary, which consists of a set of specified keywords describing format, content and location of data. ... There are two keywords in the Table Data Dictionary which indicate to the server software that the corresponding column contains special attributes. ...

Summary of the pro ject by A. Shlapunov "The Cauchy Problem for Elliptic Complexes" It is well known, that the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations is ill-posed in all the standard functional spaces. ... For overdetermined elliptic systems this approach was based on Integral Representation Method. ... Differential complexes appear as compatibility conditions for overdetermined systems of differential equations (such as, for example, Maxwell system or multidimensional Cauchy-Riemann system). ...

. To redirect the standard output from a command use the > (greater than) symbol followed by the name of the output file. If the file that you redirect standard output to does not already exist it will be created. For example: grep Smith /etc/passwd > popular . This redirects the standard output from the grep command so that it goes to the file popular . This file will contain all occurrences of the string Smith that were found in the /etc/passwd file. **Caution** . Did You Know? .

... Standard Commands . ... TwistedActor.Actor is core code for writing an actor: an instrument control computer (ICC) or hub-based script that does something useful. This manual describes the standard commands and keywords that any actor based on TwistedActor.Actor will support. All actors based on TwistedActor typically support the following standard commands (plus additional device-specific commands documented in that actor's manual). ... Connect one or more devices (if not already connected). ...

... every new catalog of objects has to be contained in the UNIX directory having the same name as the catalog of objects; . ... the programs for local operations (programs of low level) with the catalog of objects are also in the same directory; . brief characteristics and names of the programs and file with the description of the catalog are stored in the file cats_descr ; . ... All astronomical catalogs have a different format and list different observables. ...

Next: The root filesystem Up: Overview of the Directory Previous: Overview of the Directory . This chapter is loosely based on the Linux filesystem standard, FSSTND, version 1.2 (see the bibliography, [ Qui95 ]), which attempts to set a standard for how the directory tree in a Linux system is organized. ... This chapter does not explain all files in detail. ... The major parts are the root, /usr љ , /var љ , and /home љ filesystems (see figure 2.1 ). ... Figure 2.1: Parts of a Unix directory tree. ...

The preferred way to document an SAS package is via LaTeX. If you created the package directory structure with the SAS package maker pkgmaker , a subdirectory called doc will have been created with partially filled out LaTeX templates. ... Also, the new structure is seamlessly integrated in the overall SAS make file mechanism so that it becomes possible to generate HTML or PostScript documentation for the whole SAS. ... The BibTeX file is called sas.bib and is pat of the package sas . ...
