SCATTERING AND POLARIZATION PROPERTIES OF THE NON-SPHERICAL PARTICLES N.V.Voshchinnikov Astronomy Department and Sobolev Astronomical Institute, St.Petersburg University, St.Petersburg 198504 Russia ABSTRACT The albedo and dichroic polarization of spheroidal particles are studied. ... The consideration is based on the solution to the light scattering problem by the Separation of Variables Method (Voshchinnikov and Farafonov, 1993). The work was partly supported by INTAS (grant 99/652). ...

... 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. ...

Convex chains for Schub ert varieties Valentina Kiritchenko (joint work with Evgeny Smirnov and Vladlen Timorin) In [4], we constructed generalized Newton polytopes for Schubert subvarieties in the variety of complete flags in Cn . Every such "polytope" is a union of faces of a Gelfand­Zetlin polytope (the latter is a well-known Newton­Okounkov body for the flag variety). ... A root space of rank n is a coordinate space Rd together with a direct sum decomposition Rd = R d 1 . ... Bott towers. ...
