. Next: Initial velocity Up: Space and velocity distributions Previous: Space and velocity distributions . Following Paczynsky (1990), we assume initial space distribution of young neutron stars to be varying exponentially with distance from the Galactic center and from the Galactic plane, that is probability distribution for young neutron star positions can be written in the form . with kpc, and pc.

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Super Rocket Targets . NPO MOLNIYA has been designing rockets-targets for over 30 years using the great experience in crea-ting anti-aircraft guided rockets (AGR) for C-25M. On the basis of B-300 anti-aircraft rockets which expired their service life, there were designed, tested and put into the serial production the following types of the rocket - ... The analogue of this system successfully passed the state tests with the ZVEZDA-4 rocket-target. ...

Geomagnetic disturbances can be monitored by ground-based magnetic observatories recording the three magnetic field components. The global Kp index is obtained as the mean value of the disturbance levels in the two horizontal field components, observed at 13 selected, subauroral stations . ... Geomagnetic activity is the occurrence of K variations. ... But K still remains a local index, describing disturbances in the vicinity of each observatory. ...

... 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. ...

You can also sort on a specific part of a field if necessary. To define which part of a field to sort on you give the position in the field at which to start the sort followed by the position in the field at which to end the sort. The position at which to start the sort is given as the number of fields to skip followed by the number of characters to skip. ... tells sort to skip the first two fields and the first three characters of field 3. ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... Next, the screen displays "Press 0 to align or Mode for Menu." Press "0" if you wish to begin Automatic alignment (or Easy Align, depending on your telescope model), or press Mode if you wish to choose a manual alignment method ("Automatic Alignment" displays, and you can press MODE to go through the menu to find other alignments). ...

... The goal of this course is to introduce some -- very interesting -- basic examples and notions of combinatorial game theory, following the book "How to win your mathematical games", by Berlekamp, Conway and Guy. ... So, for every game there is a winning strategy, and to find one one can use the well-known idea of winning/losing positions. ... Temperature theory. We will see the limits of the association of numbers and games: some positions can not be associated to a single real number! ...
