... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

... In 1930, Trumpler noticed that linear diameters (LD) of open clusters increase with distance (D) from the Sun. ... Since that time, the interstellar absorption has become one of the best studied factor in astrophysics, and we may hope that current OCL distance scales are free from this LD-D correlation. To verify if this is the case we have chosen several modern OCL distance scales and test them with the same clusters and the same angular diameters that Trumpler had used back in 1930. ...

... I will touch upon the following points: fast evolution of the sizes of quiescent (elliptical) galaxies between z = 2 and z = 1; prolonged star formation histories of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group; apparent lack of external sources of cold gas accretion for the nearby spiral galaxies; old stellar ages and magnesium overabundance of the large-scale disks of nearby lenticular galaxies. ... This discovery has challenged the recognized scenarios of elliptical galaxy evolution. ...

. Comment on J1842+7946 . Comparing the brightnesses of the two main features seen in our 5 GHz image with higher frequency VLBI images available in the literature (at 8.4 GHz from the USNO database and at 15 GHz by Kellermann et al. (1998)), one can conclude that the NW component has a steeper spectrum since the SE one becomes relatively stronger as the observing frequency increases. VLBApls home page .

Even though the DoD would ultimately select senior Air Force officials, US Navy oceanographers and Air Weather Service officers as shuttle payload specialists, MSEs would be the first personnel from an American military programme to go into space. ... One Air Force officer, Maj. ... Jacobson was concerned about shuttle launch delays and wanted the MSEs to understand that his mission, i.e., the launch of national security payloads, dwarfed their mission, flights in space by Air Force personnel. ...
