... About meteorites . ... Meteoritic data . Impact Crater Smerdyachee . ... Based on Smerdyachee's depth, near circularity, and its mounded wall, and analysis by N.A. Fillin of nearby Roshal, Russia, the Estonian scientists Yu.V. Krestlane and K.H. Mella proposed in 1987 that Smerdyachee Lake is a meteorite crater. ... In 2002, the Laboratory of Meteoritics of the Vernadsky Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences explored this mysterious lake. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

... Different sections of an image may have different exposure. ... The obvious remedy for this is to divide the input image by the exposure map before smoothing. ... If you wish to create a background map in counts per pixel from an XMM exposure in which the exposure time varies significantly between CCDs, then you will need to remultiply the the output image by the exposure map; if however you wish to create a mosaic from several different cameras or pointings, you may wish not to do so. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

... Different statistical tests are used to compute the probability of a given hypotheses being correct. ... For single quantities, a confidence interval is estimated for the desired significance level. ... When the underlying distribution is normal, the ``Student's'' t and the distributions are used to estimate the confidence intervals for the mean and standard deviation, respectively. ... For this purpose the test variable . ... Special tables give the confidence interval for this test variable. ...

... We have made series of computer runs of the orbital evolution of asteroids for the 3/1 and 5/2 resonances with Jupiter using both the symplectic integrator RMVS3 [1] and the Bulirsh­Stoer method [2] (BULSTO). ... Besides the values of r hc presented in the Table at N = 144, for the 3/1 resonance at N = 24 we obtained r hc equal to 4.0, 1.7, 0.33, 0.4, and 0.7 at '' = 10 \Gamma8 , 10 \Gamma9 , d s = 3, 10, and 30 days, respectively. So in some cases a symplectic method can give large errors. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .
