... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... IPACMAN V2.5 Test Plan (or more) . ... Anyway, results given hereafter are related to one plaform only (the one mentioned on the top). ... specific testcases The following testcases correspond to the minimum set of tests to be run on every new IPACMAN release (alpha, beta, final, .. ... 1/ START IPACMAN . ... Expected result . ... Verify IP: select an IP on disk and run Reports>verify IP . ... IP Diff: select two IPs on disk, and run Reports>IP Diff and check manually the results: verify the . ...

... In FOS polarimetry mode the incoming beam was split into orthogonal polarization components by a Wollaston prism behind the entrance aperture. ... As with non-polarimetric observations, no concurrent WAVECAL exposure was routinely taken with polarimetry data, so the limiting accuracies of the default pipeline polarimetry wavelength calibration are the same as for the non-polarimetry case described earlier ( See "Wavelength Calibration" on page 32-49. ...

. To redirect the standard input for a command use the < (less than) character followed by the name of the input file. For example: mail tony < memo . This redirects the standard input to the mail command so that it comes from the file memo . The effect of this is to mail the contents of this file to the user tony .

... VSIPL and OpenMP are two open standards for portable high performance computing. ... Image processing is one of the main areas where VSIPL and OpenMP can have a large impact. Currently, a large fraction of image processing applications are written in the Interpreted Data Language (IDL) environment. The aim of this work is to demonstrate that the performance benefits of these new standards can be brought to image processing community in a high level manner that is transparent to users. ...

... Archives . ... His foremost knowledge and historic account on statistical models related to errors may benefit astronomers. Although I didn?t study history of astronomy and statistics, I?m very much aware of how astronomy innovated statistical thinking, particularly the area of large sample theory. ... On the history and use of some standard statistical models . ... The particular reason for this paper into the slog is the following sentences: . ... Chandra Blog . ML Theory . ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

... One characteristic of the ATCA dishes is that they are big by 3-mm standards. Indeed van Hoerner (1967) has considered the limits to the size of an antenna before various effects become significant. ... As the ATCA dishes are twice this, it is not surprise that the ATCA antenna gain and primary beam response varies as a result of thermal distortions. ... A gain/elevation correction will solve this - to first order at least. ... This might be an important effect for widefield imaging and mosaicing. ...
