... correaltor dump time) * (number of cycles per integration) The smaller you make this number (albeit you aren't allowed to go below 1ms) the larger your data file will be. So, if you are in a RFI-free frequency range, you may want to set your integration time to as much as 60s. However, if you are in a zone often affected by RFI, you may want to set this to be a much smaller values, say, 1s. koneil@naic.edu ...

A Terra Hunting Experiment at the INT Rationale To detect smaller mass planets (down to 1Mе) using the radial velocity technique, we need to be able to retrieve a signal in the limit of stellar variability noise. ... Such an observing program is not feasible with a non-dedicated telescope. To address this, we are proposing a "Terra Hunting Experiment" to be performed using a close-copy of the HARPS spectrograph installed on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) in La Palma. ...

Two weeks ago a small space rock called 2008 TC3 made astronomical history as the first asteroid that both impacted the Earth and was also observed telescopically while still out in space and on its collision path with our planet. Since then, three more small near-Earth objects making very close approaches have been picked up by the Mount Lemmon Survey in Arizona, the third just a day ago. ...

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...

... A glance at the article might leave you assuming that the planet was discovered using a large telescope at a remote, high-elevation location or perhaps by a multi- billion dollar observatory in Earth orbit. Reading on, you may be surprised to find that astronomers actually discovered the planet with a small telescope located not too far from the city of Tucson, Arizona. ... Well, don't give up, because you can observe interesting celestial sights near low-elevation big cities. ...
