... Using sl_array . Array information . ... Inline::SLang . Doug's Home Page . ... Since the support for arrays in S-Lang and Perl do not match, the conversion of array values between the two languages is not entirely seemless, as shown in the examples below. ... The third option is to use a Perl Array_Type object to store the data; the Array_Type class is part of Inline::SLang and is as inefficient as using an array reference but does retain knowledge about the array size and type. ...

... When the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by the planet Uranus in January 1986, astronomers were treated to their first close-up glimpse of the satellites that orbit the seventh planet. ... But by far the most intriguing of those 15 satellites was a jigsaw-puzzle world called Miranda . ... How dark was it at Miranda? One of the Voyager scientists put it this way: Taking pictures in the Uranus system is like trying to do photography in a ballpark at night when the only light comes from a single candle. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...

... A further spin off of this project is that more reliable pointing information for all exposures is provided. In 1995 the ST-ECF introduced, along with the CADC, the re-calibration on-the-fly (OTF) of archived HST exposures. ... By correlating the HST Mission Schedule and the time-tagged engineering telemetry data stream downloaded from HST it is possible to reconstruct with great accuracy the pointing sequence of any given scientific observation. ... taken within the same HST visit . ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

... We are developing arrays of antenna-coupled TES direct detectors of 1.0 – 0.2 mm waveband region with the final purpose to create a prototype of supersensitive arrays which can be used in imaging radiometers for future space missions. It is well known that the use of transition edge sensor (TES) bolometers at very low transition temperatures (~ 0.3 - 0.1 й) is one of the most promising ways to achieve appropriate sensitivity of radiometers for submillimeter astronomy. ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...
