The prospective new user may be unfamiliar with computing the sensitivities to be expected from using the Arecibo telescope. Hence, we present here some formulae for calculating the rms noises that can be expected for various forms of observing at Arecibo. Subsections . Spectral-Line Observing . Pulsars .

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

Thursday, March 5, 2015 Tech o con Discussion Attending: Mark, Joe, Alaina, Alysha, Russet, Jack, Bill, Conor, Suzanne - Fritz is working on dcam, so the ICC is down his list. The fix is maybe known, but may take some time. We can commission on the current computer. - QE and IR image of the detector were sent around. Both look good, better in some places than we expected. Cosmetically it looks pretty good. Pushing to get delivered by April 1. - Still aiming for commissioning end of June. 1

... A star party is a gathering of amateur astronomers who set up their telescopes and observe the dynamic night sky. ... Star parties are best scheduled during first quarter and waxing gibbous Moon. During full moon, the moon is so bright it obscures a view of other celestial objects and even the Moon is best viewed when NOT full. ... We will consult local weather forecasters and make a decision by 2:00p on the day of the star party. ... Copyright (c) Amateur Telescope Makers of Boston, Inc. ...

... Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. ... We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. It has been shown that there are several periodic signals with close amplitude around the expected FICN period without any prevailing one that can be reliably associated with the FICN. ...
