... Impact on source motion in Galactic coordinate system is given by Kovalevsky (2003), Malkin (2011) l cos b = -A sin l, b = -A cos l sin b, where A = R0 02 /c is the galactocentric acceleration called hereafter the GA constant. ... We just have to return to the traditional many-centuries-old astrometric practice of modelling the position of a celestial object as a linear trend with two parameters: the position at the initial (conventional) epoch and the apparent (proper) motion. ... 2011). ...

... The post-flight reconstruction of the INTERBALL Auroral probe (Interball 2) orbit has been recently finished in the Ballistic Center of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (KIAM) of Russian Academy of Sciences. ... We shall name these new orbital elements as "Version 3" contrary to the former orbital elements "Version 1" and "Version 2" distributed earlier. All orbital elements are presented in the IKI WEB server in the F1 format . ... of the INTERBALL Project . ...

... arXiv.org . ... Modeling Light Curves for Improved Classification . ... These include heterogeneity of the data, irregularly sampled data, missing data, censored data, known but variable measurement errors, and most importantly, the need to classify in astronomical objects in real time using these imperfect light curves. We describe a modeling-based approach using Gaussian process regression for generating critical measures representing features for the classification of such lightcurves. ...

Computer Ephemeris. Ephemeris for physical observations of the planets. Explanations. Each row of the table contains for date specified at 0h of Time Terrestrial Dynamical: . ... position angle of axis of planetary rotation (degrees) - 'P', . ... illumanated part of the disk - k, . ... position angle of disk point with minimal illumination (degrees), . longitude of central meridian of the disk (degrees) - 'merid1' - system I and so... phase correction (degrees). ...

... Points in 3-dimensional space are in general position, if no four of them are in one plane. Two triangles in 3-dimensional space whose six vertices are in general position are linked if the outline of the first triangle intersects the interior of the second triangle exactly at one point. ... Then there exist two linked triangles with vertices at these points. ... Assume that the vertices of two triangles are in general position. ... And the vertices of these two triangles are in general position. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...
