... There are a number of "fixes" that are important for short wavelength ATCA data, especially at the 3mm band. ... By default atfix applies the ``standard'' gain/elevation model for the antennas. ... As mentioned in Section 11.1.2 , the ATCA uses a paddle to measure an above atmosphere system temperature. ... On the night of an ATCA reconfiguration, a solution for the antenna positions is derived. ... Task atfix corrects the data for an improved antenna location solution via the dantpos parameter. ...

... 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. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

... This table shows how each STEP-PATT pattern measures the background for a science exposure. Listed are the STEP-PATT number, the number of spectrum bins for which substepping occurs, the number of background bins measured, the diodes used to measure the background, the fraction of the total time spent measuring flux on the science diodes, the gratings for which the STEP-PATT is appropriate, and the shortest exposure that can be used for that pattern. ... Table 8.3: - STEP-PATT Specifications . ...

... The standard lbn cal diode was compared to the standard diode. Using the standard diode value and the insertion loss the lbn cal value was computed every 25 MHz from 1200 MHz to 1600 Mhz. ... After the measurement, the insertion loss from the standard diode to the output of the coupler was measured over the frequency range 1200 to 1400 Mhz. ... The major uncertainty in the measurement is in the standard diode ENR and the insertion loss of the waveguide transition. ... freq [Mhz] . ...

Values r and t are the functions of time , but value c is the function of time in less extent and value d almost does not depend on time Step-by-step We produce comparison by comparison standard in several steps: Comparison standard (Leica TDA 5005) and retroreflector are calibrate on national state standard of length; Transfer comparison ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ... The telescope system (MILT) will be remotely operable with an on-site operator's assistance by an astronomer located at one of the ARC member institutions. ... Mean Wind Speed . ...

In this case put the LST when the target was observed in the TargetLST box as before, and put the LST of the standard star observation in the StdObs LST box...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...
