Next: MARK5 and EVLBI Up: Recording Systems. ... These are specified in the SCHED station catalog with the paramters CONTROL , DAR , RECORDER and DISK . The first element is the control system -- what software (and hardware) is used to control the recording system. The options that SCHED can handle for wide band VLBI observations are VLBA and VEX. ... The new control system will initially just control the new data aquisition system and recorder. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

. Computer Ephemeris. Lunar equatorial positions. Explanations. Each row contains at 0 h and 12 h of Time Dynamical Terrestrial: month, day, apparent right ascension (hours, minutes, seconds), apparent declination (degrees, minutes, seconds of arc) and geocentric distance (in Earth's radii).

... Astrometry with the FGS, by contrast, proceeds in the reverse order; the positions of the individual objects are found first, and then a virtual plate is constructed with the help of data from the guide stars and check stars. ... Corrections based on guide star data are referred to as POSITION mode dejittering , and those based on check star data are called drift corrections . ... The adjustments to the astrometry centroids from this POSITION mode dejittering correction are typically about 1 mas. ...

... The first column gives the star identification number, followed by X, Y positions in mm. The zero point of these offsets is star number 1 which lies at 21:24:20.52 +36:30:25.6 (equator and equinox 2000). Next are relative proper motions (muX and muY) and their errors (ex and ey) in 10**4 arcsec/yr, followed by calculated V magnitudes. The final column gives the calculated membership probabilities in percent. ...

The low-resolution, Cassegrain mounted, FORS spectropolarimeter of the ESO Very Large Telescope is being extensively used for magnetic field surveys. Some of the new discoveries suggest that relatively strong magnetic fields may play an important role in numerous physical phenomena observed in the atmospheres as well as in the circumstellar environments of certain kinds of stars. ...
