Parkes Counterweight Issues May 4, 2002 1 Background It became clear, during the course of the study of the windloading on the Parkes reflector (ref: AT/39.3/113) that the counterweight was not optimally fulfilling its function. ... Figure 1: The elevation motor currents as a function of the elevation. ... If the weight is positioned below the current centre of mass (32 cm south of the elevation axis), then the horizon current doubles to 8 A; the peak current (at El0 increases by 0.3%. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

... Should we allow the reference coordinate and pixel size of output image to be defined by input parameters? Current implementation of the re-projection is a little inefficient. Current implementation loads all image data into memeory simultaneously. ... The task currently assumes that exposure images are listed in the same order as their raw photon twin, and the WCS keywords of exposure images are taken from the raw image. ... Limits should be placed on the size of the output image. ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ... The telescope system (MILT) will be remotely operable with an on-site operator's assistance by an astronomer located at one of the ARC member institutions. ... Mean Wind Speed . ...

UPPER PANEL: The gas surface density map in log scale. The red circle in the center represents the central protostar. The development of spiral structure in the protostellar disk is evident. Dense protostellar/protoplanetary clumsp form within the spiral arms and are driven into the protostar by the action of gravitational torques. LOWER PANEL: The mass accretion rate onto the protostar as a function of time. The mass accretion rate is characterized by very short ( . ...

... What is the configuration of the device driver software? ... If the software you use doesn't adequately tell you what's wrong (or automatically configure it correctly) then you need to investigate how your hardware devices and their drivers are configured. ... Another problem is that when you view configuration messages on the screen, it's sometimes not clear whether the reported configuration is that of the device driver, the device hardware, or both. ...
