The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... The black line shows the spectrum from the Jungfrau atlas, while the redline shows the average spectral profile measured from a single spectral scan. ... Right: The residual line center positions averaged over all twenty spectral scans, showing the horizontal stripes due to spectral variations in the fringe pattern that are uncorrected due to the lack of flat fielding. ... The line center positions determined for each spectral line also show random fluctuations of approimately the same magnitude. ...

... Reference ID: ACTS . Driver ID: NIST_ACTS . ... This driver supports the NIST Automated Computer Time Service (ACTS). It periodically dials a prespecified telephone number, receives the NIST timecode data and calculates the local clock correction. ... In mode 0 the driver operates continuously at intervals determined by the fudge time1 parameter, as described above. ... Unlike other drivers, each ACTS call generates one clock correction and that correction is processed immediately. ...
