Where and how are we looking for evidence of life? ... Because the universe is an immense place, it makes sense to search for evidence of life in more than one way. In addition to focusing on what we know about life on Earth, especially in extreme environments, astrobiology currently comprises three basic types of searches in space, each employing different technologies, looking in different places, and expecting to find different kinds of data: . ... The search types ? ... Extrasolar Planets vs. ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

... GSAOI Home . ... Science . ... It is widely accepted that the evolution of the large scale structure of the Universe is driven by dark matter. Understanding this dark matter continues to be one of Astronomy's great unsolved problems. Measuring the bulk motions of galaxies allows us to map the overall mass distribution of the Universe in a way that is independent of the luminous matter in galaxies. ...

We obtained hundreds of GPS find locations, analyzed the fragment distribution, and developed a model of the meteorite's trajectory. ... More than 2670 samples weighing more than 450 kg have been collected. ... Increasing fragment mass along track indicated a flight direction of 233o. The fragments' mass distribution was used to model the meteorite trajectory. ...

The Mass-Density of the Universe and the Distribution of Dark Matter Neta A. Bahcall Princeton University, USA One of the most fundamental questions of cosmology is: How much matter is there in the Universe and how is it distributed? Here we show that several independent measures - including those utilizing clusters of galaxies - all indicate that the mass-density of the Universe is low: only 20-30% of the critical density. ... The results reveal a low den- sity of 0.16+-0.05. ...

. A distribution list is very useful where a group of users need to communicate amongst themselves on a regular basis. Each list is given a name just like any other user. By addressing a message to the list name, the sender can be sure that everyone will receive a copy. You cannot set up a distribution list yourself. Ask your system administrator to set one up for you.

... One of the most widely used tools of Fourier analysis is the Parseval theorem. It enables the experimentalist to view how the `energy' in the signal is distributed among frequencies. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms have made power spectra one of the obvious diagnostics tools during data acquisition, and energy maps are a versatile alternative. ... The result is an energy map (Fig. 9), showing the distribution of energy corresponding to the wavelet map (Fig. ...
