. Authors . Problem . Method . Advises . Contact Analysis of an accuracy of CCD asteroid observations carried out by professional and amateur astronomers . An accuracy estimation of CCD asteroid observations contained in the Minor Planet Center Database and carried out in the years 1999 - 2006 is realized. About 20 millions individual positions of the Numbered and Unnumbered Minor Planets were tested by means of calculations of (O-C) residuals to derive "mean error of a single observation" for more than 400
... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...
