Next: RECEIVER CHOICE Up: Spectral-Line Observing at AO Previous: Spectral-Line Observing at AO . ... This involves deciding which receiver you wish to use, the observing procedure and parameters you wish to employ, what frequency range and set-up for the correlator boards you want, integration length, any equipment you may need to deal with RFI (filters, radar blankers, etc.), etc. ... These files are automatically saved into your project area on the ``observer'' computer. ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ... System temperature (K) . ... Progress of the RadioAstron Project in Pictures...

... This section gives a brief description of each of the parameters available to SCHED that are specifically for VLA observations or are especially useful for VLA observations. ... Should be provided for non-VLBI observations. ... This used to be required in order to obtain calibration data for the VLBI observations. ... FREQ: and DOPPLER Warning -- these parameters cannot be used for non-VLBI observations at the VLA since they are only used to adjust the baseband converter frequencies. ...

... Zacharias, N. & Zacharias, M. I. 1999, in ASP Conf. ... The USNO CCD Astrograph Catalog South (UCAC-S) project is a high precision astrometric survey of the entire southern hemisphere for the 7 - 16 magnitude range, aiming at an accuracy of 20 mas for 8-14 m stars. ... The ACT (Urban et al. 1998) and the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues (ESA 1997) are used as reference (UCAC-R), supplemented by an extragalactic link program carried out in parallel mainly at the Cerro Tololo (CTIO) 0.9-meter telescope....

... A similar level of effort is anticipated for HDF-S. We are maintaining a `clearinghouse' for supporting and follow-up observations of the HDF-S. Test observations of the HDF-S field were obtained in October, 1997. ... Simultaneous, parallel observations were made with the three HST instruments STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS of separate, neighboring fields. ... Additional flanking field observations were made surrounding the deep STIS, WFPC2 and NICMOS fields. ... The red field is the main HDF-S WFPC2 field....

The project HILYS is aimed for obtaining the atomic parameters of highly-lying atomic states for atoms and their ions. ... The diagnostic tools, which are available for obtaining the parameters of the emitting plasma from the observed line intensities in the spectra of astrophysical sources. ... A.F. Kholtygin , V.F. Bratsev and V.I. Ochkur, "Ionization and cooling of hot plasma with temperature fluctuations" , Astrophysics, Vol.45, No. 1, p. 32-45, 2002 . ...

... Data Analysis SAS News What is SAS? ... The accuracy of the energy cross-calibration of the EPIC-pn camera in different operating modes was determined, using observations of the line-rich supernova remnant (SNR) Cas-A. For the Extended Full Frame (eFF) mode a special energy calibration was performed, which showed an overcorrection of the energy with respect to the Full Frame (FF) mode for the internal calibration source at aluminium and manganese energies. ...

The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...
