... It provides long range planning information to the scheduling team; it provides bright object, timing, and orientation information to the observation planning team; and it provides graphical description of the observations and their constraints. ... The GUI graphically displays the constraints that are computed by Spike and stored in the description files and in the database. ... BOAS processes all bright objects that have entered the database since the last time BOAS was run. ...

... 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. ...

SAOtng supports the following scale algorithms internally: . ... Support for other scaling algorithms can be added to SAOtng by writing a program that takes a FITS image as input and generates a scaled (8-bit) FIT image as output. ... Each scale program command line takes $data as stdin and writes the scaled FITS image to stdout. When the scale algorithm is executed, $data will be replaced by a command to retrieve the unscaled data, which then is passed to the scale program. ...
