Next: Discussion Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Galactic potential . It proves to be teachful to have a look at the calculated distribution (Fig. ... The galactic z -distribution of stars and peculiar velocities slightly smear out this narrow boundary. ... The final picture (Fig. ) of the old neutron star density distribution is obviously the sum of filled equipotential lobes with different weighted with the probability shown in the Fig. ...

The approaches mentioned in the section title belong to one family which is called in Newton's book [ 56 ] the short waves or high energy approximation (HEA). It means the scattering by soft particles (or potentials) in the case of the wavelengths short in comparison with the particle size (or correspondingly the case of scattering of high energy particles by the potentials). ...

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. 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). ...

Next: Background Definition Up: Echelle Spectra Previous: Order Definition . ... Their removal is a rather delicate step, because in high-contrast images (such as well-exposed echelle spectra) there is always a danger of damaging the scientific contents of the frame. Particle hits can be removed from scientific exposures by splitting the exposure and comparing spectra of the same target obtained under the same instrumental configuration. ... Note that the background has been subtracted already. ...

Differentiating ( 31 ) with respect to and , we find the gradient of is given by . and upon differentiating once more we find the Hessian (curvature) matrix of has the form . ... and its Hessian matrix reads . ... From ( 16 ) and ( 17 ), we find the components of the gradient vector of the cross entropy are given by . ...

... As a consequence, the spectral height and size of the resolution element (resel) have changed. ... The ETC will be updated for phase II of Cycle 21, in the meantime the correction factors given in the Known Issues page of the ETC should be used. ... Since the ETC uses a resolution element that is 5 times smaller (6 pix), it will overestimate the time required to achieve a certain S/N per 30 pixel resolution element, while underestimating the S/N per 30 pixel resolution element for a given time. ...

The initial parameters are coded in the file names: The number after Speed is the pattern speed of the initial quadrupole field and frac is the fraction of disk particles .
