The conference "Astronomy - 2005: Current State and Prospects" is to be held in Moscow, Russia, on June 1-6, 2005, in the frame of the Scientific Program of the 8th General Meeting of the Eurasian Astronomical Society. The main goal of the Symposium is to analyze the current state and possible prospect of astronomical science and work out a strategy of its development. ...

... IAU XXVIII General Assembly: Special Session #13 . ... Missions . ... IAU Sp. ... The search for, discovery of, and characterization of planets around other stars has led to a complete revitalization of stellar astrophysics. ... Just as important, those searches for weak signals from the planet-hosting star have produced a rich dataset of observations of the stars themselves. ... The time-series observations from these missions and projects can be examined in many ways to gain insight into stars. ...

Next: SettingStoring, and Up: CCD Reductions Previous: Nature of CCD . The CCD package provides a set of basic commands that perform the various calibration steps. ... When the context CCD is enabled, a keyword structure is created which contains the parameters for the calibration steps and to control these. ... Finally, keywords are created to contain the names of important frame descriptors, like the standard MIDAS descriptor for the exposure ( O_TIME ). ...

... Files in red?history) . ... Auroral Currents . 25H. Birkeland Currents . ... As noted earlier Kristian Birkeland, reporting in 1903 on his expeditions to the auroral zone, proposed that magnetic disturbances accompanying the aurora were caused by large electric currents flowing down the length of auroral formations. ... In later years these currents became known as the auroral electrojets , and considerable debate ranged over their cause and the way their circuit might be completed. ...

Next: Modes of Operation Up: CCD Scientific Performance Previous: Field of View . Thermal excitation of charge carriers from the valence to the conduction band creates a dark current signal which may vary with position in the array, and also has temporal shot noise variation. ... In a device devoid of localized defects which give rise to individual dark current spikes , most dark current arises from electrons generated at interface states at the surface. ...

We obtained sufficient data to reconstruct the first infrared image from an aperture synthesis array. ... The North telescope of the COAST array was moved to a new foundation, further to the North, making the longest baseline 67 metres. ... A fifth telescope was sited on the Southwest arm of the COAST array. ...
