The correlators will distribute tapes to mission elements based on the Observation Summary File produced by the RSOG ( Observation Summary File ) to ensure each element has enough tapes to support SVLBI observations. ...

All stars derive their energy through the thermonuclear fusion of light elements in to heavy elements. High temperatures are required so that the mutual electrostatic repulsion of the protons in each fusing atomic nucleus is overcome. ... Elements with more protons in their nuclei require higher temperatures. ... This sequence is now shown in the animation below. ... First Step of the Proton-Proton Chain Narration .

... 739C As one part of a program to detect complete samples of active extragalactic objects, the 3.36x10^-3 sr field centered on alpha=12h04min, delta=+11deg30' (1950.0) was mapped with the Very Large Array at 1411MHz. Sixty-seven maps cover this field so that no point is more than 15arcmin from the nearest map center. ... The rms map noise is 0.030 + 0.001 mJy, and the resulting source list is complete to a map peak flux density S_p = 0.2 mJy within 25 arcmin of the field center. ...

... They were determined as a result of orbit improving on the base of all kinds of optical observations available in the catalog of observations of the Minor Planet Center on March 16, 2014 (radar observations have not been used at this stage). ... As the MPC orbits do not all were improved simultaneously with EMP orbits, only 383866 sets of elements were used for data comparison (for selected sets of elements process of improvement had started with the use of the same observations). ...

... Content Model: %Body.Content . ... Note that the ID, LANG and CLASS attributes can be used with virtually all of the elements permitted in the document body. ... CLASS . ... The CLASS attribute is most commonly used to attach a different style to some element, but it is recommended that where practical class names should be picked on the basis of the element's semantics, as this will permit other uses, such as restricting search through documents by matching on element class names. ...

... SciSim release covered by this note . ... Data-Analysis-with-SAS in a simple and standardised way, and should allow calibration experts to re-assess the reliability of the different elements of XMM-Newton simulations. ... Also, a release of all calibration files to be used in the reduction, through the SAS, of SciSim generated data, is coordinated with this release. ... Furthermore, two SAS tasks (odffix and epicproc) had to be updated to make possible a proper SAS data reduction of simulated data. ...

... Early on Saturday, May 31 (UT) the new Moon will once again slide across the Sun's fiery disk, and once again an annular solar eclipse will be the result -- since the Moon's apparent diameter will be a little too small to completely cover the Sun. ... The Earth and Moon from Mars . ... Half-shadowed by the Earth, the Moon takes on a remarkable appearance against a field of stars in this intriguing telephoto picture recorded during a partial phase of last week's lunar eclipse. ...

... NICS will be the only infrared instrument for the first light of the TNG; as a consequence, we decided to incorporate a sufficient degree of operation flexibility by providing the instrument with six different observing modes, three aimed at imaging and three at spectroscopy: . ... It will be possible to use the narrow band filters as order sorters; this will allow to perform high resolution long-slit spectroscopy in the wavelength ranges covered by the available narrow band filters. ...

... The algebra U (g) bears a natural filtration by the degree with respect to the generators. ... Let Z S (g) = S (g)g be the center of S (g) with respect to the Poisson bracket, and let µ g = g be a regular semisimple element. ... If µ is a regular element contained in the Cartan subalgebra h g, then h Aµ , and if µ = f is the principal nilpotent element then the subalgebra Af contains the principal nilpotent subalgebra zg (f ). ...
