... The particular variables it is concerned with are tick , which is the number of microseconds added to the system time during a clock interrupt, tickadj , which sets the slew rate and resolution used by the adjtime system call, and dosynctodr , which indicates to the kernels on some machines whether they should internally adjust the system clock to keep it in line with time-of-day clock or not. ... Set the kernel variable tickadj to an internally computed "optimal" value. -t tick . ...

RELATIVE SUNSPOT NUMBERS Description of Data from SGD Explanation of Data Reports: Relative Sunspot Numbers -- The relative sunspot number is an index of the activity of the entire visible disk of the Sun. ... The provisional daily Zurich relative sunspot numbers, Rz, were based upon observations made at Zurich and its two branch stations in Arosa and Locarno and communicated by M. Waldmeier of the Swiss Federal Observatory. ... This indicates the uncertainty above and below the predicted number. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

... Due to discontinuities in the line detections as well as in the calibration process, the dispersion relations computed by the row-by-row process could show row-to-row discontinuous variations. The command CALIBRATE/TWICE , provided that a sufficient number of calibration lines is available, can stabilize the solutions by performing a two-pass wavelength calibration which retains for the second pass only the lines that were consistently identified during the first pass. ...

... The absolute magnitude of the RCBs in the LMC and the small number of Galactic RCBs implies that they are very rare stars. Together with statistics for related stars, the total number of hydrogen-deficient stars in the Galaxy is estimated to be about 1000. Whilst the luminosity of RCBs is similar to that of other low-mass stars as they evolve rapidly from the asymptotic RED GIANT branch to become WHITE DWARFS , their frequency is much lower. ...

... These are just the bare bones--just three basic ideas and rules for handling relations ("equations") involving unknown quantities whose values you are trying to find. In most calculations you try to find a number . ... To get a solution, one must replace the given equation (or equations) with others, containing the same information but cleaner in appearance. ... If you have an equation and modify both its sides in exactly the same way, what you get is also a valid equation. ...

The preliminary version of documentation of the format for the interchange of calibrated optical/IR data being developed by Tom Pauls of NRL and John Young of COAST was presented and a number of issues discussed. The proposed format is in the general form of a relational database with different components stored in FITS binary tables. ... Should there be a single data table type that includes all data types, or multiple table types, one per data type? What data types are needed? ...
