. Simulated data showing the method used for detecting water vapor features detected around the hot Jupiter Tau Bo tis b. In this example, the planetary signal has been increased in strength by several orders of magnitude relative to the actual signal. The dotted lines show the blue- and red-shifts of the planetary and stellar lines in the data, respectively. Alexandra Lockwood/Caltech

Many people don't realize that argon makes up a full 1% of our atmosphere, while carbon dioxide is only a fraction of a percent of our atmosphere. ... COMET: An object moving about the sun in an eccentric orbit and composed of materials which, on warming up near the sun, form a "tail" which always points away from the sun. ...

Running Apache on a heavily loaded web server, one often encounters problems related to the machine and OS configuration. ... Quick and detailed performance tuning hints for BSD-derived systems. ... Depending on the syntactic form of the TZ environment variable, these systems have several different algorithms to determine the local time zone (presumably compatible with something). ... This form delegates the knowledge of the time zone information to an external compiled zoneinfo file ( la BSD). ...

. You can define a file or directory by its location in relation to your current directory . The pathname is given as / (slash) separated list of the directories on the route to the file (or directory) from your current directory. A .. (dot dot) is used to represent the directory immediately above the current directory. In all shells except the Bourne shell, the ~ (tilde) character can be used as shorthand for the full pathname to your home directory. Examples . Did You Know? .

Your spacecraft is a yellow sliver. ... Your mission is to rescue Luke. ... His spacecraft has run out of fuel, and unless you rescue him, will continue to drift there for billions of years. ...

Next: A Universal Diagram for Up: ``Ecology'' of Magnetic Rotators Previous: The Corotation Radius . The interaction of a magnetic rotator with the surrounding plasma to a large extent depends on the relation between the four characteristic radii: the stopping radius, , the gravitational capture radius,   , the light cylinder radius,   , and the corotation radius,   . ... Hence, the classification of the interaction regimes may well mean the classification of magnetic rotators. ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ...

... PUL2 catalog contains original absolute proper motions of 59646 stars in 149 fields with galaxies. ... Mean errors of relative proper motions in PUL2 catalog is 5.5 mas/year. ... The external mean error of one relative proper motion of a bright star of PUL2 catalog is 9 mas/year for both of coordinates. ... After issue of UCAC2 catalog, we decided to improve accuracy of proper motions, using Pul-3 coordinates (of 1950s) as the first epoch, and UCAC2 coordinates as the second epoch. ...

... The first step to improve the FORS calibration is therefore to obtain data to allow a computation of the illumination correction across the field. ... Another limitation on the calibration accuracy has been the brightness of the Landolt standards which have forced the use of extremely short exposures introducing small but non-negligible shutter-time errors and also resulting in a very small number of useful standards per frame. ...
