... 22.Reference Frames . ... To derive the motion of a penny dropped inside an airliner moving at 600 miles/hr (about 1000 km/hr)--should we calculate it with respect to the interior of the airliner, or with respect to the ground? ... And if a similar penny is let go inside an orbiting spaceship--should its motion be calculated relative to the interior of the spaceship, or relative to the Earth outside? ... How do observations differ in the two frames--the airliner cabin and the Earth? ...

... epiclccorr (epiclccorr-1.0.8) [?? ... epiclccorr will treat all these corrections individually, developing and designing specific algorithms to correct the Relative Corrections . GTIs correction will be calculated using the GTI extensions located in the time series file, if any. ... Exposure correction is the time inside each frame where the CCD is taking data correctly (no counting or MIP problems). ... This correction will be calculated using the Live Time and Frame Time values of each mode. ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...

There are various sources of uncertainties when performing photometry with NICMOS that could affect the final accuracy of the measurements. In the following, several systematic uncertainties and special cases are mentioned. ... In summary, the accuracy of the absolute spectral energy distribution of NICMOS primary standards introduces a systematic uncertainty of about 2% - 3% in the absolute calibration of the filters. = 2.0 ?m) in NIC3. ...

The database contains references to the papers, data files and links to the Internet resources related to measurements and calculations of the optical constants in the wavelength interval from X-rays to radio domain. ... References to some useful books and reviews on the subject (e.g. the classical handbooks edited by E.D.Palik) and links to Internet collections of optical constants and personal WWW pages with related software were also placed in the database. You have arrived at our welcome page. ...

... Electric field is a potential heat source for ionospheric particles (Rees, 1989). It is due to the fact that, under the action of an electric field, charged particles drift relative to one another and relative to neutral particles. ... This is called frictional heating. ... However, the effect of frictional/Joule heating of neutrals in the auroral electrojet region can lead to upward neutral wind in a region of high electron densities and strong electric fields (Winser et. al., ...
