... Routines for accessing I/O ports are in /usr/include/asm/io.h (or linux/include/asm-i386/io.h in the kernel source distribution). ... Before you access any ports, you must give your program permission to do so. This is done by calling the ioperm() function (declared in unistd.h , and defined in the kernel) somewhere near the start of your program (before any I/O port accesses). ... For example, ioperm(0x300, 5, 1) would give access to ports 0x300 through 0x304 (a total of 5 ports). ...

... Star Atlas . ... stars . ... If neutron stars don't produce energy from fusion, like normal stars, how can they shine in visible light? ... Although it is true that neutron stars have, for the most part, consumed all their internal thermonuclear fuel, they tap into other energy sources to produce light. Indeed, neutron stars are remarkably "resourceful" and employ a variety of physical mechanisms to make themselves visible.A newborn neutron star is incredibly hot ? ... Atlas of the Stars . ...

... 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. ...

... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...

Астрономия и Космос Небесные тела Планеты и их спутники . Видимым парадом планет называется планетная конфигурация, когда пять ярких планет Солнечной системы (Меркурий, Венера, Марс, Юпитер и Сатурн) в своем движении по небосводу подходят друг к другу на близкое расстояние и становятся видны в одно время в небольшом секторе (10 - 40 градусов) неба. ...

... We present a photometric and spectroscopic study of the unique isolated nearby galaxy KKR25. The isolated dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy KKR25 was discovered by Karachentseva, Karachentsev Richter (1999, A , 135, 221) during the search of dwarf galaxies in the direction of the Local Void. In spite of its isolation KKR 25 has no gas and looks like a normal dwarf spheroidal system. ... This is the first known planetary nebula in a dwarf spheroidal galaxy outside the Local Group. ...

The radius of the event horizon of a black hole with the mass of the Sun would be about 3 kilometers, about the same size as your city, town or village. If the Earth could be compressed into a black hole, the radius of its event horizon would be 1/330,000 of this, because the mass of the Earth is 1/330,000 times the mass of the Sun. ... 30,000,000 . ... 20,000 . ...
