... The planning and reduction programs are distributed with array sizes set large enough to let most observers work without difficulty. However, you might need to reduce a very large data set, or to deal with a very large number of passbands (9 is the nominal limit). ... The main problem is holding the matrix of normal equations during the iterations; on the other hand, star catalogs can be made quite large without paying much of a price in terms of performance. ...

... August was noteworthy by having the least number of hours of bright sunshine for at least 128 years, that is, since sunshine records began at the Observatory in 1880. ... The month was also exceptionally wet, with rainfall totaling 151.4mm (5.96 inches), nearly twice the average figure (around 81 mm) for August and the seventh wettest August at Armagh since rainfall records began at the Observatory in 1838. In order to find a wetter August we have to go back 52 years, to August 1956. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

Next: The Model Up: No Title Previous: Radiopulsars as Sources of . In this section, we study the evolution of stellar populations on a time-scale of 10 Myr for a starburst љ occurring under conditions similar to those in the Galactic Center (see Lipunov et al. (1995d)[ 126 ]). We estimate the expected number of X-ray transient љ sources (NS + MS star), super accreting BH, and BH + supergiant binaries, all as functions of time elapsed after the burst. ...

When using a large number of Virtual Hosts, Apache may run out of available file descriptors (sometimes called file handles if each Virtual Host specifies different log files. ... Unix operating systems limit the number of file descriptors that may be used by a process; the limit is typically 64, and may usually be increased up to a large hard-limit. ... If you system falls into 1 or 2 (above), then increase the file descriptor limit before starting Apache, using a script like #!/bin/sh . ...
