... This section describes how to copy a file between two VMS systems using the COPY command, and between a VMS system and another computer using FTP or Kermit. Remote file access may be made on either the file or record level, but only file level access is discussed here. To access a file, you use normal VMS commands, such as COPY or TYPE , but you specify the file name differently. ... It is also possible to automate your file transfers using scripts in conjunction with the Kermit TAKE command. ...

... Transforms a qpoe file according to the specified parameters. ... Any type of filtering can be applied to the input qpoe file, including region filtering. In addition, the size of the output event record can be different from the size of the input event record. Of course, usually one makes the output record equal to or smaller than the input. If the output record size is made greater than the input record, a warning is issued and the ``extra'' part of the record is undefined.) ...

... August was noteworthy by having the least number of hours of bright sunshine for at least 128 years, that is, since sunshine records began at the Observatory in 1880. ... The month was also exceptionally wet, with rainfall totaling 151.4mm (5.96 inches), nearly twice the average figure (around 81 mm) for August and the seventh wettest August at Armagh since rainfall records began at the Observatory in 1838. In order to find a wetter August we have to go back 52 years, to August 1956. ...

... Suppose that a NS having a rotational magnetic   luminosity forms a binary system (with semi-major axis a ) with a normal star losing matter in the form of stellar wind (with a loss rate ). ... This means that while deriving the formula for a cavern in the general case, we must take into account the proximity of the normal star. ...

This directory contains Calgary Neutron Monitor Data at five minute resolution. Each file is a gzipped tar archive that contains files of uncorrected count rates and barometric pressures at five minute intervals for one year. A file named snm.calg.fmi.YYYY.tgz is an archive that holds five minute data for the year YYYY. ... So a file named cal01030.fmi contains five minute uncorrected data for year 2001 day 30 (which is Jan 30, 2001). ... A text file named note.txt is also usually present. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) . To this aim, the two Landolt/Stetson photometric fields SA95 and SA101 will be observed on a number of epochs and at different airmasses during February and March 2007. ... SA101 . ...

This diagram illustrates a floating image that overlaps the borders of two paragraphs in normal flow: the paragraph borders are clipped by the non-transparent parts of the image. ... A left-floating image causes the final three lines of the upper paragraph to float along its right side. It causes the first three lines of the following paragraph to do the same, and the remainder of that paragraph flows normally. The paragraph borders shine through the margin area of the image box. ...

... 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 Sun has come all of one day away from breaking its record for the longest period of inactivity for the last decade - reaching a mid-summer low and falling into yet another state of "hibernation". Yesterday, on the first day of autumn, new sunspots appeared on the surface of the Sun following an absence of almost 50 days. ... The first low lasted 51 days, from 21 July until 11 September last year. ... Now, almost a year later, it seems the Sun has hit a new low almost as "deep" as the first. ...
