... In this case, because polarimetry is not currently possible with the 3-mm system, only task mfcal is needed to perform bandpass and antenna calibration. ... This section outlines an alternative calibration approach exploiting the dual frequency bands of the ATCA. ... Unlike the approach of Chapter 11 , the approach described here does not split the data into separate single source, single frequency files before calibration. ... Input multi-source, dual-band dataset. select=source(1921-293) . ...

Commentary on: A Mathematical Programming Algorithm for Planning and Scheduling an Earth Observing SAR Constellation, by Nicola Bianchessi and Giovanni Righini David Kortenkamp TRACLabs Inc. at NASA Johnson Space Center ER2 Houston Texas 77058 kortenkamp@jsc.nasa.gov Introduction This paper describes a method for scheduling observations by earth-observing satellites. The underlying problem is translated into a directed acyclic graph for each satellite. ...

ALMA | ... Phase Correction Algorithms | ... On this page, we describe what the phase correction algorithms set out to do and the framework we have developed to optimally use all of the available information. ... We are developing a Bayesian framework to combine all the information we have about the current and future meterological conditions (which are naturally accommodated as priors in a Bayesian scheme) with detailed physical models of the atmosphere. ...

... Future seminars . P a s t seminars . Seminar council . Collective processes and structures in spiral galaxies " . ... A new approach to studying global structures in thin stellar disks, which allows to describe universally both bar and spiral modes, is presented. ... Study of line-of sight velocity maps of gaseous disk in spiral galaxies allows, under some conditions, to reconstruct 3 components of gas velocity in the galactic plane. ...

... Data . AAS 221 . AAS 219 . ... The first thing to note is that Twitter does not guarantee to return all matching Tweets, whatever method is used (unless you have direct access to their "fire hose", which I don't). ... This should result in the same results as my REST-based search (method 2), since the volume of Tweets was probably not enough to cause this site to miss Tweets based on their collection strategy . ... A search for the tag #aas219 (case insensitive) using the Twitter REST API . ...

... The most precisely determined characteristic for accreting neutron stars (NS's) is their period. ... Period changes show fluctuations. ... Some applications of stochastic processes in astrophysics especially in accreting systems were discussed in Lipunov (1987),Hoshino Takeshima (1993) and Lipunov (1992).In Hoshino Takeshima (1993) the authors, using simple models of MHD turbulence, try to explain aperiodic changes in X-ray luminosity of X-ray pulsars. ... Here, -constant angular momentum. ...

Next: Order Merging Up: Instrument Response Correction Previous: Using a Standard . ... It consists of a correction for the blaze function by using a suitable model of the blaze effect introduced by the echelle grating. ... This method uses the overlapping region of adjacent orders to estimate, in a few iterations, the parameter k of the blaze function which is, as before, assumed to be a sinc square. ... The method minimises the difference of the corrected orders in each of the overlapping intervals. ...

. There are several different shells available for Unix; the most popular are described here. You can use any one of these shells if they are available on your system. And you can switch between the different shells once you have found out if they are available. Bourne shell (sh) . C shell (csh) . TC shell (tcsh) . Korn shell (ksh) . Bourne Again SHell (bash) .

REPORT ON PIERRE DELIGNE FELLOWSHIP, 2010 SERGEY OBLEZIN During 2010 I have been working on developing a representation theory approach to mirror symmetry and quantum cohomology of homogeneous spaces, associated to Lie groups of classical type. According to Givental the glN -Whittaker functions, being solutions to the quantum cohomology D-module QH (FlN ) of the complete flag variety FlN = GLN (C)/B , describe the corresponding equivariant Gromov-Witten invariants of FlN . ...
