... Resolved Stellar Populations Globular Clusters . Galaxies are made of stars, gas and the illusive dark matter. ... Star clusters are the simplest form of the stellar population. ... Old globular clusters are easily observed at great distances and can be used as probes of the early stages of star formation history in galaxies where individual stars cannot be resolved. My research interests are centered on the studies of resolved stellar populations and (old) star clusters in nearby galaxies. ...

We model the spectral chanages of late oxygen-rich Miras observed in different pulsation phases. From a combination of variable near-IR spectra and UKIRT spectrophotometry of the 9.7 \mu m silicate dust emission feature in different phases we study the influence of the changing atmospherical circumstances on the conditions in the circumstellar dust shell. ... A comparision with the modelling results for another long period Mira U Ori is also provided. ...

For example '1 2' 3 becomes "1 2 3" . is identical to the arguments received by the shell, the resulting list of words completely match what was given to the shell. ...

makeasn -- Group images in "associations" makeasn *cal.fits . ... The output are calnicb type "associations" tables. These tables contain the names of the images in each group, and the relative offset of the images in pixels. These files can be used to co-add iamges either with calnicb or with asncombine. ... In addtion, the observing time as well as the relative orientation of the imgages can be used as a criterion for an images to be included in a group. ...

Chapter 11. Specifying OpenGL Environment Variable Settings . ... Several antialiasing methods are available and you can select between them by setting the __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable appropriately. ... To see the available values for __GL_FSAA_MODE along with their descriptions, run: nvidia-settings --query=fsaa --verbose . The __GL_FSAA_MODE environment variable uses the same integer values that are used to configure FSAA through nvidia-settings and the NV-CONTROL X extension. ...

... Return to the Kernel page . ... This article is part of the LWN Porting Drivers to 2.6 series . The 2.6 kernel makes extensive use of per-CPU data - arrays containing one object for each processor on the system. Per-CPU variables are not suitable for every task, but, in situations where they can be used, they do offer a couple of advantages: . Per-CPU variables have fewer locking requirements since they are (normally) only accessed by a single processor. ... DEFINE_PER_CPU(type, name); . ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . ... ESO - Public Surveys . ... the recommended values to use for DIT, . ... Detector on-chip integration (DIT): seconds. to your chosen value - a separate page gives recommended values to use for DIT - for modes 1 and 2 below you may wish to start with the maximum recommended values as these will minimize the effect of read noise (a total object exposure of Y secs with DIT=X secs will produce Y/X lots of read noise) and give you a lower limit on the time needed. ...

... They are concerned with Attitude Control System of the spacecraft, satellite visibility from tracking stations, limits on the satellite autonomous operations during the orbit, and needs for auxiliary operations with the spacecraft. ... Among the operational constraints the most important one is the number of programmed slews per orbit, which determines the maximum number of radio sources to be observed during one orbit. ... System temperature (K) . ... Progress of the RadioAstron Project in Pictures...

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. ...
