Next: CORRELATOR BOARDS Up: OBSERVING PROCEDURES Previous: Frequency Switching . As with any type of observing, it is always a good idea to run a few calibration scans at the beginning of, and during, your observing run to make sure that the telescope and receiver are behaving properly. At Arecibo this is done by performing a ``spider scan" (a pattern of four scans across an object, each separated in position angle by 45 ) on a standard calibration source. ...

... As is known, the observed distribution of massive stars in the direction of the Galactic center looks very peculiar: the vast majority of all massive stars are concentrated towards the central 1 pc or so (Genzel et al. ... In order to compare the observed distribution of X-ray sources in the Galactic center with what would be expected from the population synthesis computations, we have considered two hypothetical scenarios for the location of the starburst. ...

... We now consider estimation of count rates for objects with stellar, power law, and emission line spectra. To estimate the number of electrons collected from a point source of apparent visual magnitude V, one can use the equation: . ... If one knows the spectral index a (which is zero for a source with a flat continuum), V + AB_nu can also be calculated as the monochromatic Oke system magnitude at the corrected mean wavelength of the filter: . ... 6.3.3 - Count Rates for Emission Line Sources . ...

... The stars examined here were primarily culled from two lists of X--ray sources in Orion. ... The second region is two degrees in extent east--west and ten degrees north--south with Orionis being near the northern edge. ... In the end, two main regions were chosen for monitoring: stars near Orionis and stars northwest of the belt of Orion. ... The PSPC identified 22 sources within 15 of Orionis in addition to the sources listed in Table 1 , giving a total of 85 X--ray sources in the Orionis region. ...

... A classic test of the standard orientation-dependent unified schemes has been the assessment of the quasar fraction in complete radio samples. Using a sample of giant radiosources (projected size ) out to redshifts of , I demonstrate that the fraction of broad line objects is smaller than that obtained by comparison of quasars and galaxies in the 3CR sample. ... The sample . ... Giant radio sources ( ) have traditionally been of great interest for several reasons. ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. However, they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II). ... In either case, the populations are sufficiently old that RCB stars must have relatively low masses ( ). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

Short-Period Comets: Origin and Terrestrial Impact Hazard . ... The model is consistent with the basic observed distributions of near-parabolic comets, short-period comets, Centaurs and high-eccentricity trans-Neptunian objects.This model requires that initial objects in the early Solar System are concentrated to the outer planetary region, and the physical lifetime of comets in the inner planetary region at the present epoch is an increasing function of initial perihelion distances. ...
