... The first column gives the star identification number, followed by X, Y positions in mm. The zero point of these offsets is star number 1 which lies at 21:24:20.52 +36:30:25.6 (equator and equinox 2000). Next are relative proper motions (muX and muY) and their errors (ex and ey) in 10**4 arcsec/yr, followed by calculated V magnitudes. The final column gives the calculated membership probabilities in percent. ...

... The SDSS 2.5-m primary mirror is supported in a manner similar to the Apache Point Observatory 3.5-m telescope primary. ... The axial support is provided by 48 air pistons. The pistons have the same diameter thereby applying equal forces with the same air pressure. ... Each group supports a 120њ sector of the mirror. ... Figure 1: CAD drawing showing the 2.5-m primary mirror and the locations of actuators (green circles) These actuators apply forces (10*cos2 N) to correct astigmatism. ...

... To derive the motion of a penny dropped inside an airliner moving at 600 miles/hr (about 1000 km/hr)--should we calculate it with respect to the interior of the airliner, or with respect to the ground? ... And if a similar penny is let go inside an orbiting spaceship--should its motion be calculated relative to the interior of the spaceship, or relative to the Earth outside? ... Each such choice is known as a frame of reference . Some possible frames are -- the interior of the airliner, . ...

Code Specifics Cholla is a new three-dimensional hydrodynamics code that harnesses the power of GPUs to accelerate astrophysical simulations. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Yesterday, on October 16, 2015, the upper culmination of the Sun at the venue of the Olympiad was at 11:29:43 local time. ... According to an ancient legend of Middle Volga there was a constellation called W hite Leopard ( ­ Pardus Album) in the sky in the very past, in which the number of stars were exactly equal to the number of letters in the Greek alphabet, and the stars had magnitudes PaA ­ +0.10m, PaA ­ +0.20m, PaA ­ +0.30m, PaA ­ +0.40m, and so on with adding 0.10m till PaA. ...
