... User Guide ] In August 1994, the nominal flux density of the ATCA's primary flux calibrator, 1934-638, was revised to give better agreement between the ATCA's flux density scale and the flux scales used in the northern hemisphere (the VLA in particular). ... This introduces a problem when mixing data (either combining or just comparing) calibrated before and after this change. ... However if you use the option `oldflux' in GPCAL and MFCAL when calibrating 1934-638, the old flux scale will be used. ...

... We propose to obtain low-resolution COS-FUV spectra of a sample of nearby star-forming galaxies with existing rest-frame optical spectroscopy. By combining optical and UV observations of these galaxies, we will be able to directly compare previously-determined metallicities from optical emission line diagnostics with those determined from newly-observed photospheric and stellar wind lines in the UV, including the abundance-sensitive 1425A and 1978A photospheric blends. ...

... Energy . ... The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much, much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .
