RTT150 . ... This search system is designed for generating the necessary information on series of pointings (observations of each source consist of sets of exposures with different filters and sometimes with different exposure times) for observed sources. Search results appear at the separate page as a table with the following data: . DATE - real (not evening!) observations date (in YYYY-MM-DD format); . ... Bin - minimal CCD binning mode (may vary during the observations); . ...

The efficiency of interaction of radiation with a particle and hence its optical properties depend on the particle chemical composition, size, shape, structure, etc. ... Particle size expressed in units of the wavelength of incident radiation, together with chemical composition, most strongly affects the optical properties of a scatterer. ... There are many methods to solve the light-scattering problem for a homogeneous spheroid (our survey of the light-scattering methods see here ). ...

Next: Spectroscopic Data Up: Calculation of Extinction Previous: Calculation of Extinction . Near--infrared observations were made on 5--6 February 1996 at CTIO using the CIRIM imager. ... In the infrared, the sky background is high relative to the dynamic range of the detector. ... As the first step in the reduction, all frames had a linearity correction applied (Elston 1994). ... In some cases, the dithering procedure caused stars to overlap with other stars on the final frame. ...

Cosmic ray intensities (left) compared with predictions (right) from IBEX. The similarity between these observations and predictions as evidenced by the similar color regions supports the local galactic magnetic field direction determined from IBEX observations made from particles at vastly lower energies than the cosmic ray observations shown here. The blue area represents regions of lower fluxes of cosmic rays. ...

RadioAstronomy department of SAI was found in 1953 by prof I.S. Shklovsky. The basic direction of our works is development of new methods and devices for astronomical observations in different spectral regions, making observations and its interpretations. Department includes: laboratory RATAN-600, Infrared Group and several another scientific workgroups, that leads any big different projects. ... Go back to RadioAstronomy Dept ] . Andrew A.
