... For the XRBs which are highly variable the concurrent presence of the RXTE/ASM that continuously measures their X-ray spectral states invites a new and innovative program to harness the available information to facilitate detailed studies of individual systems as well as comparative studies between classes of systems. ... This will enable them to quickly decide which data are worth putting in effort to extract and further analyze. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...

Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems VII ASP Conference Series, Vol. ... This trend has allowed projects and users to build customized processing systems from existing components. We present examples of user­customizable systems that can be built from existing tools, based on commonly­used infras­ tructure: a parameter interface library, FITS file format, Unix, and the X Windows environment. ... User Applications Users often need to sequence several tools. ...

... Driver ID: LOCAL . This is a hack to allow a machine to use its own system clock as a reference clock, i.e., to free-run using no outside clock discipline source. ... Another application for this driver is if a particular server clock is to be used as the clock of last resort when all other normal synchronization sources have gone away. ... This driver provides a mechanism to trim the local clock in both time and frequency, as well as a way to manipulate the leap bits. ... Not used by this driver. ...
