FGS Instrument Handbook for Cycle 24 . ... Fine Guidance Sensor Instrument Handbook for Cycle 24 > Chapter 6: Writing a Phase II Proposal > 6.3 Special Requirements . ... In this section, we describe several special requirements which are often needed in an FGS Phase II observing proposal. ... The ORIENT special requirement is useful for orienting HST so that astrometric reference stars fall within the FGS FOV or for aligning a binary star?s position angle relative to an FGS axis. ... POS TARG: . ...

... An OBJECT column gives the name of the object observed (usually a star name). ... In critical cases, it is common practice to measure sky on two or more positions around a target object, and these positions must be identified. ... A general treatment of this problem requires a column called OBJECT, bearing the usual name of the object (as in the star tables); a column labelled STARSKY, to distinguish between star+sky, star alone, or sky alone; and additional columns to identify the sky position. ...

The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...

... The user provides SCHED with source coordinates in one of the J2000, B1950, or DATE coordinate systems. ... This date is specified using PRECDATE . ... This is enough to harm phasing of the VLA at high frequencies and enough to be rather undesirable for positions used on the correlator. ... For example, the B1950 coordinates of the VLA calibrators are either based on absolute measurements made in 1979.9, or are converted from more modern J2000 coordinates using an assumed ``observe'' date of 1979.9....

... The main purpose of this task is the correction for attitude drifts using the dispersion coordinate system. The dispersion coordinates are defined based on the position and on the orientation of the RGA, and have two components: the dispersion angle BETA and the cross dispersion angle XDSP . ... This is called reference attitude and basically means that this is the on-axis sky position to which the telescope points after the attitude drift correction was performed. ...

The Wind spacecraft. ... It was designed to observe the solar wind approaching Earth, from a position near the Lagrangian point L1, and it is part of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) Initiative . ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
