... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Estimation of masses of some minor planets from observations of perturbed bodies O. M. Kochetova Institute of Applied Astronomy, St. Petersburg, Russia The most straightforward method of mass determination of minor planets is the dynamical one which uses the gravitational perturbations produced by minor planet in the motion of other bodies. ... The values of the masses of minor planets (15), (29) and (65) appear to be rather close in both papers. ...

When using a large number of Virtual Hosts, Apache may run out of available file descriptors (sometimes called file handles if each Virtual Host specifies different log files. ... Unix operating systems limit the number of file descriptors that may be used by a process; the limit is typically 64, and may usually be increased up to a large hard-limit. ... If you system falls into 1 or 2 (above), then increase the file descriptor limit before starting Apache, using a script like #!/bin/sh . ...

Number theory seminar . ... One of the goals of the semester is to convey the essential unity of the subject, especially to young mathematicians who use number theory in their research. ...

... The performance of arfgen depends mainly on the number of points in the detector map that are enclosed within the said regions. ... At the other extreme, a detector map that is too finely binned would result in a large number of CAL calls and would affect the execution time of the task. ... The current version of this task does not have any feature that varies at scales smaller than 1 arcmin, so the user is recommended to use detector maps with bin sizes around this value. ...

... Some existing (e.g., USNO-A1.0) and most of the upcoming catalogs (e.g., GSC-II SDSS , GAIA ) contain data for half a billion up to several billion objects. ... Here we present methods for structuring and searching very large catalogs to provide fast access to the coordinate domain of the parameter space. ... By generalising such methods it is also possible to produce catalog structures and indexes for accessing a multi dimensional parameter space. ...

... The planning and reduction programs are distributed with array sizes set large enough to let most observers work without difficulty. However, you might need to reduce a very large data set, or to deal with a very large number of passbands (9 is the nominal limit). ... The main problem is holding the matrix of normal equations during the iterations; on the other hand, star catalogs can be made quite large without paying much of a price in terms of performance. ...
