... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

... We received the SASS output for the HRI observation of 3C 120 (a highly variable radio galaxy with a prominent jet leaving the core at PA ) and smoothed the data with a Gaussian of FWHM = 3 '' ( Figure 13.1 ). ... The results are shown in Figure 13.2 . ... The FWHM of the original data ( Figure 13.1 ) is 11.8 (PA ); after dewobbling ( Figure 13.2 ) the width of the 50% contour is 7.6 . ... Figure 13.1 : The original data, smoothed with a Gaussian of FWHM = 3 . ...

... Forum: Network Buffers And Memory Management . Re : Question on network interfaces ( Vijay Gupta ) . Keywords: network interface . ... If you want to scan the interface list from kernel space you can do something like: { struct device *dev; for (dev = dev_base; dev != NULL; dev = dev->next) { /* your code here */ /* example */ if (dev->family == AF_INET) { /* this is an inet device */ } if (dev->type == ARPHRD_ETHER) { /* this is ethernet */ } } } ./ Pedro. ...

... How to Identify that Light in the Sky . ... If so, and if you live near a city, the answer is typically an airplane, since planes are so numerous and so few stars and satellites are bright enough to be seen over the din of artificial city lights . If not, and if you live far from a city, that bright light is likely a planet such as Venus or Mars -- the former of which is constrained to appear near the horizon just before dawn or after dusk. ... Publications with keywords: sky - light - airplane . ...

... What is there beyond the edge of the universe? ... This is often illustrated by newspaper headlines: "Scientist sees face of God, confirms Big Bang model" (a reference to results from the Cosmic Background Explorer satellite), "Is the cosmos younger than some of the stars it contains? ... The Lone Universe . ... We cannot reproduce it; we cannot take another one and see what happens to it; we cannot compare it to anything else, as astronomers routinely do with planets, stars, and galaxies. ...

... Figure 8: Can you detect the motion of the near-Earth asteroid 2000PH against the background stars during its close approach to Earth around 27 July 2004? ... Down) observed and imaged the unusual near-Earth asteroid 2000PH during its close approach to the Earth around 27 July 2004. The observations were carried out remotely using the new 2m aperture Faulkes telescope situated on the 10,000-foot summit of Haleakala, on the island of Maui in Hawaii. ...

Next: Radial velocity of the Up: Optical spectrum of IRAS04296 Previous: Observations and spectra reduction . ... However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...
