... We also take care to characterise the flat fields, especially their colour dependence, to very high precision which enables high precision photometry even without autoguiding. ... The Blue Diamond Effect The blue diamond effect is caused by surface imperfections on the silicon chip introduced during manufacture, resulting in a repeated large scale pattern in the flat field at blue wavelengths. ... We can remove the blue diamond by using a colour appropriate flat field produced in the lab. ...

... Coming Soon to a Channel Near You: Oracle.. ... But now users are discovering that this beefy class of multiprocessing, "fault-tolerant" PC servers handle databases just as well as mainframes and minicomputings. ... Programmers at four competing Unix software vendors are working together on what may be the last chance for Unix on the corporate desktop. ... COSE's Common Desktop Environment goes a long way toward establishing a standard Unix interface that's easy enough for novice users to master. ...

... 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 . ...

SDSS TRAILER INSTALLATION . The following links are to photos of the installation, removal and move for the observer's and engineer's office trialers at APO. ... 20020617: First observer's trailer installation . 20020617: Second observer's trailer installation . 20020617: Utility work for observer's trailer . ... 20020620: Pre-inspection of office area with exterior door . ... 20020622: Engineer's trailer installation . 20020622: Observer's trailer work . ...

Next: The Gravimagnetic Parameter Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: Nomenclature . ... One can introduce two critical periods and such that their relationship with period p of a magnetic rotator specifies the rotator's type: . ... Instead of , we introduce the potential accretion luminosity L . ... Treating the rotator's magnetic dipole moment and as parameters, we find that an overwhelming majority of the magnetor's stages can be shown on a `` '' diagram (Lipunov 1982a[ 98 ]). ...

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ... The period found must be consistent with the data from any given night....

... ON THE ROLE OF LARGE-SCALE PLASMA IRREGULARITIES AT THE FINAL STAGE OF ANOMALOUS ABSOPTION DEVELOPING UNDER HF HEATING OF THE IONOSPHERE . ... Fig. ... With the aid of numerical statistical modeling based on multiple ray tracing it is shown that in presence of large-scale irregularities the reflected signal amplitude mean value is increased significantly. ... Dependence of the mean amplitude of the reflected from the ionosphere signal on the large-scale (10-50 km) electron density irregularity level...
