XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Light of stars outside the telescope field of view may reach the RGS focal plane after reflections on the front side of the gratings. Optical light may also be reflected on the back surface of the gratings; before launch the exact magnitude of this effect is not known. Regions around the pointing direction from which light could be reflected on the RGS focal plane are called avoidance fields . ...

... Abstract Find nearest point on a triaxial ellipsoid to a specified line, and the distance from the ellipsoid to the line. ... If linept is inside the ellipsoid, pnear will not necessarily be the closest point of intersection. dist is the distance of the line from the ellipsoid. ... If the line intersects the ellipsoid, dist is zero. ... Examples 1) We can find the distance between an instrument optic axis ray and the surface of a body modelled as a tri-axial ellipsoid using this routine. ...

SINGULAR POINTS IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE . ... In the structure of the solar chromosphere, containing information on the configuration of the magnetic field, we have found and identified all the main types of the singular points ( see Fig. 1 ), which are known as inherent features of the 2-D vector field. ... The main types of the singular points are the node, the focus, the center, and the saddle. ... Singular point of the focus type in the solar chromosphere. ...

... COMPUTER SIMULATION OF RADIOWAVE MULTIPLE SCATTERING EFFECTS IN IONOSPHERE USING MONTE-CARLO METHOD . ... Distribution of reflected radiation on the ground is computed. ... Such influence can be remarkable if the scattering is multiple, i.e. the optical thickness for the scattering process is considerably greater than a unit. ... Radiation energy transfer in the slab is modeled by distribution of some particles carring small portions of radiation energy. ... The isotropic plasma approximation is...

Figure 6 top shows the ratio of GainPolA/GainPolB. ... Figure 6 Bottom is the ratio SEFDpolA/SEFDpolB. ... The sefd ratio matches pretty well with the Tsys values we get using the cal values. ...

RTT150 . ... The primary mirror 1 reflects light to the secondary mirror 2 which sends the converging beam of light to the system of four flat mirrors 3, 4, 5 and 6. That allows the beam of light to leave the telescope strictly along its polar axis and be collected in Coude focus. ... That's why at any tube position (for any rotation along the declination axis) beam of light parallel to the principal axis after reflection on mirror 3 follows the direction of declination axis. ...

In this method the fields outside and inside a particle are represented by expansions in term of proper basis functions (practically always the vector spherical harmonics). Since the particle surface does not coincide with the coordinate surface, it is impossible to satisfy the boundary conditions exactly, and the expansions are limited by a finite number of terms, and the boundary conditions are considered in a finite set of points (matching points). ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

The Flare and the Galaxy . ... Despite appearances, this person is actually pointing in the direction of a bright Iridium flare , a momentary reflection of sunlight off of a communications satellite in orbit around the Earth. ... The featured flare involved Iridium satellite 15 and occurred over southern Estonia last week. In this well-planned image , a spectacular night sky appears in the background, complete with the central band of our Milky Way Galaxy running vertically up the image center. ...
