... Planets . ... The planets were found using the HARPS instrument on the 3.6m telescope at ESOтАЩs La Silla Observatory. ... A planet in orbit around a star causes the star to regularly move towards and away from observers on Earth. ... One newly discovered planet, HD 85512 b, is best hope found so far for a habitable exoplanet. ... The HARPS team so far have found that about 40% of stars similar to own Sun have at least one planet smaller than Saturn (which is 95 times more massive than Earth). ...

... Bojan Nikolic web pages (r. 329) . ... This page describes the software and some pointers for using beam cuts through the Moon or Sun for determining the approximate correlation length-scales of errors of a telescope surface. ... At the moment the software can generate a synthetic beam shape at any frequency with a surface errors which are a sum of distributions with Gaussian-spectrum fluctuations. ... Analysis of surface error distributions through Moon (or Sun) beam cuts . ...

... HST Overview . Overview . ... The interferometer consists of a polarizing beam splitter followed by two Koesters prisms. ... The Koesters prisms are constructed of two halves of fused silica joined together along a coated surface which acts as a dielectric beam splitter. ... This division and phase shift gives the Koesters prism its interferometric properties: the beam reflected from one side of the prism interferes constructively or destructively with the beam transmitted from the other side. ...

... The main direction is discrete complex analysis, additional directions are rational classification of embeddings and classification of circular surfaces. I. Discrete complex analysis. ... One of our past results was application of discrete complex analysis to description of all polygons which can be tiled by squares (with Prasolov, 2010). ... The first planned result is convergence of discrete harmonic functions on general lattices to a harmonic function when the lattice becomes finer and finer. ...

OSLO LT V5.4 Optical Software For Layout And Optimization . Articles | ... Has anyone out there tried to raytrace a telescope design? ... OSLO LT keeps track of the optical path length each ray travels, so it knows the phase relationship of the light as it travels through the telescope. ...

... We are developing the following problems: a) combine optical and microwave technic to the indication of non-linear surface waves and wave breaking field; b) modelling of microwave propagation in a multiphase air-water interface; c) obtain quantitative dependencies of microwave radiation on geometry and statistics of wave breaking field in ocean surface; d) monitoring of ocean surface states using optical amd microwave airspace data sets. ... Important issue is spray and underwater bubbles. ...

Intensity of atmospheric motions in the mabl retrieved from ocean surface radar imagery M. Mityagina E-mail: mityag@iki.rssi.ru Abstract. The paper is dedicated to the theory and practice of analysis of radar images of sea surface, obtained under unstable atmospheres. In this case, the sea surface reveals wind field variations in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) caused by atmospheric convec-tive processes, accompanied by air motions with mainly vertical direction. ...

... Early on, our interest in chirping analysis functions was motivated by a different kind of chirping phenomenon: chirping due to perspective. ... Our interest in radar, however, drew us toward processes that are more accurately analyzed by linear-FM chirplets. ... We have also constructed other chirplet transforms, such as a three-parameter
