The weight and positions for the objects on the rotary floor were obtained from ecastro on nov03 and used to plot the weight distribution on the rotary floor. ... The figure shows the weight distribution by turret position. ... Fig 1 top: Each object on the floor is plotted with its weight vs its turret position. Fig 1 middle: The weight is averaged by turret position quadrant to show the imbalance in weight distribution. ... The turret position is that of the receiver or read off of the drawing. ...

... The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. ... Information on the NTP architecture, protocol and algorithms can be found in the Further Information and Bibliography page. The Building and Installing the Distribution page presents an overview of the procedures for compiling the distribution and installing it on a typical client or server. ...

... After a brief leave in Bangalore to work on astronomy (and holiday in Nepal), Dave will be continuing in management positions within the ATNF. ... We have also hosted an observing project visit from a contingent of ATNF and CTIP vacation scholars, who observed h Carina with the new 12-mm system (see article elsewhere in this issue), observed new HIPASS galaxies, and studied interference from microwave ovens. ... Currently we are testing this system with a single antenna. ...

... This task needs as input, in addition to the spectrum and detector map, the position of the source in question. ... The task gets this information from one of two sources: from the centre of the source region in the input spectrum (if the parameter withsourcepos false ), or explicitly from the user ( withsourcepos true ). If the latter, the user can choose to specify the position in one of four coordinate systems: EQPOS, POS, TEL and DET. ... Conversion to DET coordinates . ...

. Next: Initial velocity Up: Space and velocity distributions Previous: Space and velocity distributions . Following Paczynsky (1990), we assume initial space distribution of young neutron stars to be varying exponentially with distance from the Galactic center and from the Galactic plane, that is probability distribution for young neutron star positions can be written in the form . with kpc, and pc.

. On the plot the days are shown along X axis and Universal time along Y axis. The regions in the first satellite positions are shown by the regions symbols and colour. The time intervals of the conjugation between considered couple of the satellites during day are shown as a 'wide boxes'. The corresponding numerical file contains the coordinates of both satellites during magnetic conjugations. Dr. Victoria Prokhorenko . Modified 17 June 1999

... Hanisch provided me with the ``right'' answers for the stars in the simulated cluster, so it's easy to determine the error of each magnitude determination: find the star in the truth file that falls nearest to the position of each star in my photometric output, and compute the difference between their magnitudes. The question of how to encapsulate these magnitude differences in an overall figure of merit for the reduction procedure deserves some thought. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

AMPLE (Adaptable Minor Planet Ephemerides) is integrated software package to deal with a number of problems concerning minor planets with the aid of IBM-type personal computer. ... compiling a list of all numbered minor planets which can be seen at certain moment within specified sky region and visualization of their mutual positions; . ... As AMPLE is able to reproduce virtually any table of "the Ephemerides of Minor Planets" , it may be considered as computer version of the EMP. ...

There are two different names for the connectors we use: "6-wire 6-position RJ11" appears to be most common, but "RJ12" is, or was, also used. ... These are fine for most serial connections, but beware of special cases in which the outer pair (hardware flow control) is in...

... The MIDAS system is available, free of charge, to all non--profit research institutes, whereas other organisations or companies may be charged a nominal fee to cover distribution. Institutes interested in using MIDAS must sign a User Agreement before they receive MIDAS. The necessa
