... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

Next: CCD Operation Up: Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) Previous: Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs) . ... However it is only now that a number of important X-ray astronomical applications of CCDs have reached critical development stages, so that this is an appropriate time to review the application of space-borne CCD instruments to cosmic X-ray astronomy, and highlight the particular concerns which are being addressed for X-ray instruments, as distinct from optical applications. ...

... The observed isotropy on the sky and non-uniform spatial distribution of gamma-ray bursts   (GRB) revealed by the BATSE   device onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (e.g. Meegan et al. , 1992)[ 138 ] lend support to the idea of a cosmological origin of GRB (Prilutski and Usov, 1975;[ 165 ] Usov and Chibisov, 1975)[ 199 ] for which the best candidates could be merging binary NS+NS   or NS+BH   at high redshifts (z 1 -2), (Blinnikov et al. ...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...

In 1985, Grossman and Paulgrossmann-paul rigorously formulated some of these important ideas in terms of affine canonical coordinate transformations to a coherent space representation. ... In 1989 and early 1990, we formulated the chirplet transform, a multidimensional parameter space whose coordinate axes correspond to the pure parameters of planar affine coordinate transformations in the time-frequency plane. ...

When Mariner 10 flew past Mercury three times in 1974 and 1975, the same hemisphere was in sunlight during each encounter. As a consequence, Mariner 10 was able to image less than half the planet. On January 14, 2008, the MESSENGER spacecraft observed about half of the hemisphere missed by Mariner 10. ...
