. Close-up of spectra of NH 2 emission lines (of the same transitions for both 14 NH 2 and 15 NH 2 ) in Comet ISON, showing the difference in wavelengths and relative intensity between the isotopes. The red and green-dashed lines indicate the observed spectrum. The blue line indicates 15 NH 2 , clearly detected for the first time. NAOJ

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope Technical Note 19971102 . ... Because of the difficulty of visually detecting thin patches of clouds under dark conditions, an infrared (IR) scanner was constructed in 1993 to monitor nighttime cloud cover at Apache Point Observatory. ... The left diagram (Figure 1) shows the scanner coordinate system. ... The loci of points at 15њ intervals in scanner coordinates are plotted on an azimuth-altitude polar plot (Figure 3). ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Regularity and chaos for planetary orbits in binaries D. Benest Observatoire de Nice, Nice, France 1. ... Previous papers showed that stable planetary orbits, around either the lightest or the heaviest component of several nearby binary systems, exist up to distances from their primary of the order of more than half the binary's periastron sep­ aration. ... Chaos: bounded or sticky? It is now well­known that planetary dynamics may include some proportion of chaos. ...

We report here on those proposed UIT targets that, in fact, were successfully acquired. ... Note on Filters: . A1 centered at 2500 angstroms with a width of 1200 angstroms . ... Sextans A is a low mass dwarf companion to the Milky Way Galaxy. It is sufficiently close that it is easily resolved into its individual stars. ... An exposure of 1100 seconds through the A1 and B1 filters was obtained. NGC 2903 Is a relatively nearby mostly face-on galaxy with active star formation. ...

... In particular, with the spectrometer SPI (20 keV-8 MeV), we detect in three observations an emission extending above 200 keV and for the first time even up to 350 keV for a neutron star LMXRB, GS 1826-24. ... The additional component above 200 keV is most probably of non-thermal origin. ... Figure 1. ... We reveal with SPI a hard tail up to 220 keV for 4U 1812-12 (Figure 1) and even up to 350 keV for GS 1826-24 (Figure 2), representing the hardest emission ever detected for a Neutron Star LMXRB. ...

On July 22/23, before the splitting of the cometary nucleus, several emission lines, such as C2 , C3 , CN, NH, CH, NH2 , CO+ , H2 O+ were clearly identified in the spectra. ... 2, 2000. ...

... 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. ...

PENTICTON SOLAR RADIO FLUX VALUES (from SGD Explanation of Data Reports) Daily Solar Flux Values - Penticton -- Daily measurements of the integrated emission from the solar disc at 2800MHz (10.7cm wavelength) have been made by the National Research Council of Canada since 1947. ... The data are tabulated in two forms: the "observed flux" (S), and the "adjusted flux" (Sa). ... The "observed flux" values are useful in ionospheric physics and other terrestrial consequences of solar activity. ...
