... Credit Copyright: NASA / JPL-Caltech / Univ. of Virginia Explanation: What has created a large dust ring around Saturn? At over 200 times the radius of Saturn and over 50 times the radius of Saturn's expansive E ring , the newly discovered dust ring is the largest planetary ring yet imaged. ... A leading hypothesis for its origin is impact material ejected from Saturn's moon Phoebe , which orbits right through the dust ring 's middle. ...

... April 9, 1999 . WR 104: Pinwheel Star . ... Explanation: Like a cosmic lawn sprinkler, dust streaming from a rotating star system creates a pinwheel pattern in this false color infrared image . Astronomers discovered the surprising star dust scenario using a sophisticated interferometer and the 10 meter Keck I telescope to observe the bright Wolf-Rayet star WR 104. ... The problem is, their starlight would also be so intense that any dust flakes should be destroyed! ... About APOD > . ...

BACKGROUND . ... Electron bombarded silicon (EBS) gain makes the CCD interesting for keV electron detection. Ionizing particles absorbed in silicon create electron-hole pairs at the average rate of one per 3.64 eV incident energy. ... The variance in the number of electron-hole pairs created is given by the Fano factor for silicon (.1-.2) times the number of pairs created. When we use a CCD as a detector of ionizing particles, we would like to collect all of the electrons created. ...

... If requested ( runbackground =Y), the task creates a background lightcurve, as well as a background spectrum for the imaging modes (FF, eFF, LW, SW) using background masks. ... The background masks are created by task badpixfind using threshold parameters, appropriate for the detection of real X-ray sources. ... As the GTIs strongly depend on the intended science this screening is not performed and only background masks, the lightcurve, and a GTI file are created by epchain . ...

This video sequence is an artist's impression based on the first ever map of the weather on the surface of the nearest brown dwarf to Earth. An international team used ESO's Very Large Telescope to make a chart of the dark and light features on WISE J104915.57-531906.1B, which is informally known as Luhman 16B and is one of two recently discovered brown dwarfs forming a pair only six light-years from the Sun. ...

. To remove a directory that is a symbolic link that points to another directory use the command: rm directory_name . Notice that the directory does not need to be empty and you do not have to use the rmdir command. You are not really removing a directory, just a named symbolic link that points to the "real" directory.

The database contains references to the papers, data files and links to the Internet resources related to measurements and calculations of the optical constants in the wavelength interval from X-rays to radio domain. ...

... Aurora from Space . ... Magnetic Storms . ... The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... Why no aurora at the magnetic poles? ...

... It allows observations of extended and starlike objects in different modes: CCD photometry, panoramic spectroscopy with the Fabry-Perot interferometer, spectroscopy and spectropolarimetry with a "long-slit", slit-free spectroscopy, multi-object spectroscopy. ... Digital servo drives that were installed have improved the reliability of the complex, extended the range severalfold, and reduced the telescope's speed control step. ...
