... 2004 August 27 . The Sedna Scenario . Illustration Credit: R. Hurt ( SSC-Caltech ), JPL-Caltech , NASA . ... Exploring the problem with computer simulations, astronomers Alessandro Morbidelli and Harold Levison suggest that while Sedna was not formed in its current location, it was also not moved there by encounters with other solar system objects. Instead, they find it more likely that Sedna resides in its present orbit because of an encounter with another star . ... About APOD | ...

... The algorithm has been successfully applied to both real and simulated astronomical data (Jefferies , 1993; Jefferies 1993) and its ability to accurately preserve photometry in the observed image has been demonstrated. ... In order to investigate the algorithm's performance without the influence of detector and photon noise we took the ``truth'' data set and convolved it with the given PSF to generate a noiseless image. ... The restored object and the two restored PSF's are shown in Fig. ...

... For example, as pointed out by Perlman et al. (1996b), the lack of a Ca II H & K break strength criterion in the 1 Jy, S4 and S5 samples of BL Lacs, has caused numerous objects to be misclassified as radio galaxies instead of BL Lacs (see also March? Browne 1995, 1996). ... While one may argue that some of these objects fall in the expanded region of the (H & K break strength, equivalent width) diagram that March? et al. (1996) allot to the BL Lacs, several, for example 1 Jy 1308+326, do not. ...
