... Research objects and scientific purposes . Space scientific program includes development and launch of two supersmall spacecrafts "Universitetskiy" and "Kompas-2" intended for monitoring of radiation conditions near the Earth. ... All the studies conducted in the near-Earth space are characterised by strong radiation fields. ... The circular polar orbits, which cover all the near-Earth space, are the most favorable for comprehensive studies of the radiation conditions near the Earth. ...

... Stars . ... To understand what has happened we need to consider an often-overlooked class of object, the white dwarfs. New research shows that some old stars known as white dwarfs might be held up by their rapid spins, and when they slow down, they explode as Type Ia supernovae. ... However, give a white dwarf a very close companion star and you could have an explosion visible across the Universe. ... This, however, is not the only catastrophe that can befall such a white dwarf star. ...

THE 75th NAME-LIST OF VARIABLE STARS. ... The 75th Name-List consists of two tables. ... the literature, taken from positional catalogues, including USNO A1.0/A2.0 and GSC, or determined by the authors); the range of variability (sometimes the column Min gives, in parentheses, the amplitude of light variation; the symbol ( means that the star , in minimum light, becomes fainter, than the magnitude indicated); and the system of magnitudes used ( P are photographic ...

... The Thickness of Stellar Disks in Early-type Galaxies E. M. Chudakova* and O. K. Sil'chenko ** Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia Received August 19, 2013; in final form, October 30, 2013 Abstract--We suggest and justify a new photometric method enabling the derivation of the relative thickness of a galactic disk from the two-dimensional surface-brightness distribution of the galaxy in the plane of the sky. ... The galaxies are non-interacting. ...

... Exposure Time Calculator (ETC) . Survey processing . ... VISTA is a 4-m class wide field survey telescope for the southern hemisphere, equipped with a near infrared camera (1.65 degree diameter field of view at VISTA's nominal pixel size) containing 67 million pixels of mean size 0.34 arcsec and available broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,K s and a narrow band filter at 1.18 micron. A wide field visible camera, if constructed, could also be used on VISTA. ... Tile . ... ESO VISTA Public Surveys . ...

... RADIO SIGNALS TO EXTRATERRESTRIALS . ... Also, in order They will be able easier to conceive our spectral information, the better if it will represent the single-valued function of time. The second argument for such function is a fact of transmitter's energy concentration inside one band, which will lighten to aliens to solve their SETI Problem. ... You see the second type is an adequate to a process of implementation of continuous radio signals. ...

Download Izmccd (~2.7 MB). ... a) a choice of the best mode of measurements of stars and objects ("Properties/Measurement"), . b) a choice of reference stars. ... 1) necessity of presence on an image of a plenty of stars (we recommend to apply this mode, if on the frame of reference stars is more 100) . ... Sx and Sy depend from residuals at all reference stars (reference stars are marked by blue color). ... These residuals are the image of the star a minus function of a profile for each pixel. ...
