In this section we present plots which may be used to rapidly estimate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for point sources with stellar spectra observed through popular WFPC2 filters. ... Dotted lines across the top of each plot indicate the onset of saturation. ... We look at Figure A2.10 and find this value on the horizontal axis. ... This exposure is well below the saturation lines in the plot, so saturation is not a concern. ... 0.45 Figure A2.1: Point Source SNR vs. V+AB for F160BW Filter. ...

My research interests are focussed on the theory and modelling of accretion processes as well as star and planet formation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in the stability properties of accretion discs, the generation of MHD turbulence and associated angular momentum transport, disk - planet interactions and the origin and characteristics of jets and winds from accreting systems . ... These results have been published in Salmeron & Wardle, 2005, M.N.R.A.S., 361: 45-69. ...

... My project was concerned closely with research, which in general went well. However it was difficult to find specific information relating to fossil fuel use and emission in the UK, though easy for the USA. This meant, at times, it was assumed that fossil fuel consumption in the USA and UK were roughly the same. It was also difficult to find on the Internet information about specific cities (e.g. Armagh), but by contacting a lighting engineer this information was obtained. ...

... More recently, I have been concerned with observing masers located in the circumstellar shells generated by red giant stars in their mass-loss phase, and in what we can therefore learn about the late stages of stellar evolution. 100 mJy are now undetectable after ~12 years, aka the DEATH of an OH/IR star or its cyclical evolution back to a Mira variable. ... I find that this momentum flux is sufficient to support the largest observed rates of AGB mass-loss. last updated: 14 January 2015 . ...

Next: Interpolation of binned gain Up: The Interpolation Process Previous: Averaging Antenna Gains with . ... The task gpbreak can be used to insert a `break-point' into the antenna gains table, which indicates to the software which applies the calibration, that interpolation across this point should not be performed. ... Inserting a break-point modifies the antenna gains table, and so it is only meaningfully performed after the antenna gains table has been determined. ... GPBREAK . ...

... We have assumed a constant in time star formation rate and the total number of stars in the Galaxy, , to be such that the total mass of the galaxy is ; assuming the Salpeter mass function   , we get . ... This number agrees with a standard estimation of the galactic star formation rate of order of per year. In each run of calculations, we trace the evolution of binaries with initial parameters randomly distributed according to the chosen initial laws. ...
