... After the wavelength mapping and night sky subtraction, each 2D frame was corrected for atmospheric extinction and was flux calibrated. ... Finally, the 1D averaged spectrum was extracted from a 08 region along the slit, where > 2 ( is the dispersion of a noise statistics around this line) (see Fig. ... For the simultaneous derivation of C (H ) and EW (abs), and to correct for extinction, we used a procedure described in detail in Izotov, Thuan & Lipovetsky ([ 1994 ]). ...

Next: Caverns in Binary Systems Up: Ejectors in Massive Binary Previous: The Number of Ejectors . In the very first years after the discovery of radiopulsars, it became clear that for some reason they avoid forming binary systems. ... Illarionov and Sunyaev (1975)[ 76 ] noted the fact that coherent radiowaves with a wavelength longer than 75 cm, which make it possible to observe most of the radiopulsars, are absorbed effectively in the stellar wind of a normal star. ...

This assumes two 60 second arc exposures and two 55 second readouts. ... Otherwise, the arc exposure will likely consist of a 30 second integration followed by a quick 28 second readout, half the normal time. ... The flat-field exposure can be read out with a quick 28 second readout, half the normal time. ...

... The data-reduction path given in Chris Salter's IDL Cheat Sheet invovles a number of steps that are repeated for each observation. Onoffred is a wrapper program for the various AO IDL routines that are called, enabling an experienced observer to do file-loading, on-off data reduction, baseline fitting, smoothing and polarization averaging in a single step. ... The robust and user-defined profile windows can be hidden from the postscript output using the /hidelines switch. ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...

As Earth catches up to Mars in their respective orbits around the Sun, Mars will keep rising earlier in the night. On 2005 October 30, Earth will have caught up to Mars and the planets will be the nearest to each other in their orbits -- this time around. On October 30, Mars will be nearly opposite to the Sun, rise at sunset, set at sunrise, and appear highest and brightest around midnight. ...
