... The predictive power of current models (the so-called meteor forecasting) has given us the exact timing of the Leonid storms of 2001 and 2002 to the nearest hour and are now used to predict the arrival times of major annual showers such as the Perseids . ... Towards this goal, the Observatory has installed a sky-monitoring system, consisting of one medium angle (MA) and two wide-angle (WA) video cameras linked to software designed to detect motion. ...

In C Strings are defined as arrays of characters. ... char name[50]; C has no string handling facilities built in and so the following are all illegal : . ... In order to allow variable length strings the 0 character is used to indicate the end of a string. ... Write a C program to read through an array of any type. ...

... I fixed the bugs that caused the map_point changes to fail tests. Then I removed the no longer needed dimensional variables from the p structure and got those changes to pass all the tests. ... I put the code under subversion control in a new branch called refactor. ... The code change which processes each drizzle kernel over an entire image rather than a line at a time now passes the unit tests and was checked in. ... I got the keywords argument changes done and got the tests to pass. ...

Galaxies follow tight scaling relations linking their dynamical properties to their baryonic content. The study of these dynamical laws strongly constrains cosmological models of galaxy formation. I will present new results on the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation (BTFR), which links the total baryonic mass of a galaxy to its outer rotation velocity. I will discuss both successes and failures of LCDM models that attempt to reproduce the BTFR using gas outflows from stellar feedback. ...

It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...
