Optical layout for KOSMOS and COSMOS. ...

... Under certain conditions, like those in the nucleus of a QSO, all atoms can be made to emit light at particular wavelengths. ... If that source is approaching the observer, the wave is squashed up onto itself making the wavelength shorter. ... This is redshift. ... You can see how the section of the QSO spectrum which we observe changes with redshift. ... We then see how far we had to slide the observed spectrum along the scale to make it match and that is the objects redshift. ... The 2QZ team . ...

... Многоапертурный детектор атмосферных мерцаний (MASS) разработан для продолжительного мониторинга параметров оптической турбулентности в свободной атмосфере на существующих обсерваториях и при выборе мест для новых обсерваторий. ... The Multi-Aperture Scintillation Sensor (MASS) is intended for continuous monitoring of free atmosphere parameters at different observatories and potential observational sites. ... Mainly, the site is designed for Sternberg Astronomical institute MASS group itself. ...

Microsymposium 40, abstract 56, 2004 (A4 format) AUTOMATIC COMPILING OF HYPSOMETRIC MAP OF A PART OF THE 1 VENUSIAN SURFACE. ... The main principles applied in compiling the map such as the scale of the heights, types of prints and using of pictures of surface shall be apply in the compiling of the Hypsometric Map of Hemispheres of Venus in future. We consider that contours are the necessary features for hypsometric maps because allow to make measurement more accurate. ... Moscow., ...

THE KAIDUN METEORITE: WHERE DID IT COME FROM? ... The formation of the subalkaline and alkaline clasts of the Kaidun meteorite, apparently also requires deep differentiation of material in a fairly large parent body. ... These differences in structure of two genetically linked clasts, due to the different encounter speeds of the clasts with the parent body of Kaidun, obviously indicate that these two events were separated in time. ...
