... Each ferrule will be used to plug approximately 300 holes. We must be sure the ferrules will not wear excessively during use; 1 mil reduction in diameter of a ferrule is enough to reduce light throughput by approximately 1%. ... Stainless steel ferrules offer lower precision (which will lose us approximately 1/2 to 1% light compared to ceramic), but they are relatively inexpensive, readily available with the hole diameter we require, and immune to cracking. ... Hence the wear was not very deep. ...
... ARTICLE: The Adventurous Search For The Astronomical Unit . ... Kepler himself had suggested to use the rare occasions of Venus transiting (crossing) the solar disk to measure our distance to the planet. ... Due to the orbital inclination of Venus against the ecliptic of 3.5°, a Venus transit is so rare that it happens only at intervals of 121.5 years, 8 years, 105.5 years, 8 years and so on. ...

... 000, 112 (2009) Printed 11 February 2010 A (MN L TEX style file v2.2) Analytical approximations of K -corrections in optical and near-infrared bands I1gor V. Chilingarian1 2 ,2,3 , Anne-Laure Melchior 1,4 and Ivan Yu. ... Received 2010 February 01; in original form 2009 August 14 ABSTRACT To compare photometric properties of galaxies at different redshifts, the fluxes need to be corrected for the changes of effective rest-frame wavelengths of filter bandpasses, called K -corrections. ... Table 1. ...
The Archeops experiment aimed at measuring the cosmic background emitted just after the Big Bang. The study of this radiation is essential to obtain precise information on the evolution of the Universe: density, Hubble constant, age of the Universe.. To achieve this goal, measurements have been done with devices cooled down at 100mK temperature placed at the focus of a warm telescope. ... 28960 visitors . ...
... 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 . ...
... A Chemically Decoupled Nucleus and Structure of the Nuclear Region in the S0 Galaxy NGC 4036¶ O. K. Sil'chenko1 * and V. V. Vlasyuk2 2 Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Universitetskioe pr. ... The unresolved nucleus of NGC 4036 is shown to be chemically decoupled: [Mg/Fe] = +0.3 at the very center, whereas in the immediate vicinity of its nucleus, this ratio abruptly drops to +0.1 and does not change further along the radius. ... However, the major-axis turn within R < 5 should be considered real. ...
