... 2011 December 6 . Jupiter Rotation Movie from Pic du Midi . ... Many interesting features of Jupiter's enigmatic atmosphere , including dark bands and light zones, can be followed in detail. A careful inspection will reveal that central clouds rotate slightly faster than clouds toward the poles. ... Since hydrogen and helium gas are colorless, and those elements compose most of Jupiter's expansive atmosphere , what trace elements create the observed colors of Jupiter's clouds remains unknown. ...

GRANAT is the Russian x-ray sattelite launched to the high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and operated almost for 10 years (1989 -1999) , carrying out four major instruments: French SIGMA coded-mask hard x-ray telescope (30-1000 keV), Soviet ART-P coded-mask telescope (2??-60?? keV), all-sky monitor WATCH (6-150 keV), and a gamma-burst detector PHEBUS . ... Since September 1994, GRANAT is in the survey mode. ... Explore pages devoted to individual GRANAT instruments (including main scientific results): . ...

... ARC 3.5m | Instrument Summary . ... ARCES (Echelle) : the ARC Echelle spectrograph, a high resolution (R~31,500) echelle spectrograph that observes the entire wavelength range from 3200 е to 10000 in a single image on a 2048x2048 CCD. This instrument is permanently mounted at the NA1 port. ... In addition to the facility instruments, several visitor instruments have been used at the 3.5m, and some of these are available to the ARC observing community by contacting the instrument PIs: . ...

... Calibration and analysis of this observation posed very interesting challenges for the authors, in particular dealing with an exciting new instrument whose on-orbit calibration was not yet well defined. ... Five mosaic positions were observed during five consecutive orbits as well as observations for dark and flat calibration. ... Darks and flats had to be created from contemporaneous reference observations and problems within the calibration process had to be resolved. ...
