... The parameter y   characterizes the ratio between the gravitational and magnetic ``properties'' of a star and will, therefore, be called the gravimagnetic parameter . Two magnetic rotators having quite different magnetic fields, subjected to different external conditions but with identical gravimagnetic parameters, have similar magnetospheres, as long as the accretion rate is quite low ( ). ... For isolated rotators, the accretion rate  yr is assumed. ...

NASA Press Release Text - June 24, 1996 GALILEO READY FOR CLOSE FLYBY OF JUPITER'S BIGGEST MOON Now residing in orbit around Jupiter, NASA's Galileo spacecraft is primed for its first close flyby of Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, at 2:29 a.m. EDT on June 27, 1996. ... In the days just before and after the Ganymede flyby, Galileo's other studies will include a search for auroral activity on Jupiter's nightside and observations of other Jovian moons: Io, Europa and Callisto. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

Operating of the superconducting integrated receiver channel of the TELIS atmospheric sounder. ... The noise temperature of the SIR was measured to be as low as 120 K, with an intermediate frequency band of 4 ­ 8 GHz in double sideband operation; the spectral resolution is well below 1 MHz. The SIR was implemented in the three-channel balloon-borne instrument TELIS (TErahertz and submillimeter LImb Sounder) that detects spectral emission lines of stratospheric trace gases (like ClO and BrO). ...

... The department was founded in late sixties by Prof. D.Ya.Martynov, who for many years was also the director of Sternberg Astronomical Institute. At present time, the head of the department is Prof. A.M.Cherepashchuk, a pupil of D.Ya.Martynov and his successor as the director of SAI. Since Prof. Martynov, the scientific activity of the department was primarily related to binary stars. ... The department consists of 15 members most of which have Ph.D. in Astrophysics. ...

The determination of the detector parameters is based on sets of images of a spatially uniform-illumination scene (flatfield frames) and without any illumination (dark frames), putting a plug in place of the filter, taken at a series of exposure times. ... We interleave before and after each exposure time in the series of flatfield frames a set of reference images at an exposure time of 1 sec to determine the possible temporal variation of the illumination level. ...
