... We present new images of the far ultraviolet (FUV) Jovian aurorae obtained with the Faint Object Camera (FOC) after the correction of the telescope spherical aberration which restored the nominal capabilities of the instruments. ... Two years of imaging with the Faint Object Camera from 1992 to 1994, made a breakthrough in our vision of the FUV aurorae, even at the degraded resolution resulting from the telescope aberration (subarcsec, with variations depending on the extent of the feature). ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

Limiting Resolution . The terms MTF cutoff frequency, limiting resolution, and resolving power have all been used interchangeably to define the smallest target that can be resolved with an imaging system. Although the term 'limiting resolution' is often used to describe the smallest target length that can be imaged. ... For example, high frequency targets can be reproduced from their low frequency fundamentals and phase errors can produce 'phantom' images that resemble high frequencies. ...

This WWW form allows the user to obtain "postage stamp" FITS or jpeg images or contour plots of selected, small fields from the The VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey (VLSS, formerly VLSS). ... The specified region of the closest VLSS field is returned as a FITS or jpeg format image or a contour plot. ... The VLSS postage stamp server can return a FITS file with the MIME type of image/x-fits; your browser needs to be told a suitable display program for FITS files. ...

Full Stokes 327-MHz Continuum Observations of the GALFACTS Pilot Region Wasim Ra ja, Avinash Deshpande, Tapasi Ghosh, Chris Salter & Andrew R. Taylor Background and Scientific Justification Several existing surveys have mapped the polarized intensity of the extended Galactic emission at various frequencies using single dish as well as synthesis imaging. ... The underlying distribution of the polarized emission and the magneto-ionic medium would be apparent in the images resolved across Faraday depth. ...

... The technology needed to implement a Distributed Astronomical Data Archive (DADA) is available today (e.g., Fullton 1993). Query interface standards are needed, however, before the DADA information will be discoverable. ... These parameters would be used to index each dataset in each catalog. ... The technology is available today to perform cross-catalog queries, to fetch the data at the click of a mouse, quickly to add new observation catalogs, and to distribute the load across multiple machines. ...

... Summary. ... Subject of my Ph.D. thesis is the analysis and interpretation of the overall gas dynamics in the starburst galaxy NGC 1808, in comparison with other spiral galaxies in a similar evolutionary stage. ... c) nuclear outflow of neutral gas into the halo of the galaxy, . ... We have mapped the 21-cm absorption in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 1808 using the VLA AnB-hybrid array with a resolution of approx. 5.2 arcsec (which corresponds to 275 pc). ...

... January 24, 1997 . Supernova 1987a Fireball Resolved . Credit: C. S. J. Pun ( GSFC ) & R. Kirshner ( CfA ), WFPC2, HST , NASA . ... Supernova 1987a remains the closest supernova since the invention of the telescope . The explosion catapulted a tremendous amount of gas , light , and neutrinos into interstellar space. ... More recent HST observations shown in the inset, however, have uncovered something actually predicted : the expanding fireball from the exploding star. ... About APOD > . ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...
