October 14, 2006 ---------------- Version 3.1 ----------- As of this version, XmTel is considered stable for routine use. and it is useful for the control of telescopes for both amateur and professional uses. ... XmTel does not yet include the suite of pointing corrections that are already in the menu system (but disabled). ... With the offset correction a well-aligned small telescope will point to arc minute accuracy and well enough to put an object in a CCD camera field of view. ...

... the time of observation . ... Observing the Changing Position of the Sun To Establish Cardinal Directions . ... Observations of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky and its pattern of rising and setting in the east and west horizon helped to establish the cardinal directions. ... The final stage of the Sun's return was marked by the observation that the Sun had reached its highest altitude when the full width of your mitted hand could fill the gap between the Sun and the horizon. ...

... From the observed direction of interplanetary magnetic field lines, we believe this field comes from the Sun, carried by magnetic field lines dragged out by the solar wind . ... That is why magnetic field-line loops tend to keep back the solar wind, unlike the outward-bound lines in the "coronal holes" between them. ... The magnetic field at all these points is already so weak that the solar wind overpowers it and shifts its field lines, while its own motion--radially outward--remains unchanged. ...

The first stars, known as Population III, produced the first heavy elements, thereby enriching their surrounding pristine gas. However, all previous detections of metals in intergalactic gas clouds find a heavy element enrichment at least 1/1000 times that of the solar environment, which is higher than expected for remnants of Population III stars. ... Finally, I will summarise the prospects for finding similar systems in future surveys. ...

... From the peculiar shape of the light curve in the visible spectral region (a long phase interval of light constancy was observed by Hensberge et al. in 1981 ), HD 56022 had been expected to show unambiguously the nonequatorial symmetry of its surface brightness distribution. However, analysis of the light curve has yielded a possible equatorial position of a spot. ... A solution seems only possible, if the light constancy over the long phase interval in the visible is not observed in the UV. ...

We agree that Russian science does need reform," says Boris Stern, a particle physicist at the academy's Institute for Nuclear Research in Moscow. ...

... We compare our results with the GRANAT X-ray observations of the Galactic center (Churazov et al. ... It is instructive to compare our results for the Galactic center starburst with what might be expected for a continuous star formation, with the average rate characteristic for the whole Galaxy. For this continuous star formation model, we would expect to observe in the region of around the Galactic center about 10% of the total number of X-ray sources in the Galaxy. ...

An AA* index has been derived that is the counterpart of Ap* but is available for the longer span of years. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...
