... All the images except two are in the Si-5 filter, which has a central wavelength of 11.68 microns and a width of 1.01 microns. This filter shows only dust emission, and excludes the emission lines that PNs have in the 10 micron region of the spectrum. ... The emission from NGC 6210 in the 11.7 micron filter is even fainter than that for PN G058.3-10.9, barely within the sensitivity limit of the Gemini telescope. ... The Si-5 filter image looks completely different than the N-band image. ...

What will happen when the fragments hit Jupiter? ... All the fragments will enter Jupiter's atmosphere at an angle of 42 degrees from the vertical and impact near a latitude of 44 degrees south, but on the back side of the planet as seen from Earth (about 10 degrees in longitude behind the edge of Jupiter, as seen from Earth). ... Any body moving through an atmosphere is slowed by atmospheric drag, by having to push the molecules of that atmosphere out of the way. ...

... User Guide ] Task: early Purpose: Flag data which has early/normal problems. Categories: calibration, uv analysis EARLY is a Miriad task which flags visibility data that it suspects contains early/normal problems. ... If the scatter exceeds some number of sigmas, then the data are assumed to be affected by the early/normal problem, and the entire record is flagged. ... If the signal is noise dominated, no early/normal problems can be detected, and the data will not be flagged. ...

The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

... Archives . ... Such eminent astronomer said already least absolute deviation over chi-square , if I match simple mean residual and mean square residual to relevant methodologies, in order. ... Anyway, if one is sure that the data/parameters of interest are sampled from normal distribution, Eddington?s statement is better to be reverted because of sufficiency . ... Instead of sample standard deviation, use absolute mean deviation (simple mean residual, Eddington?s words) to quantify uncertainty. ...

... The parameters of powspec are computed from the parameters of efftplot , such that for each energy band, only one time-averaged PDS is computed. Then for each energy band, efftplot reads the PDS into the FITS file produced by powspec , and plots it with the PGPLOT library. ... The PDS is calculated in data segments of Nbins bins. ... 1 : PDS is normalized such that the (white) noise level expected corresponds to a power value of 2. ... 2 : as =2, but the expected white noise level is subtracted. ...

Unexpected gamma-ray emission from dwarf galaxy may point to new understanding of dark matter . ... That s why dwarf galaxies are important in the hunt for the dark matter particle. Dwarfs are thought to lack other gamma-ray-producing sources, so a gamma-ray flux from a dwarf galaxy would make a very strong case for dark matter. ...

Next: The Model Up: No Title Previous: Radiopulsars as Sources of . In this section, we study the evolution of stellar populations on a time-scale of 10 Myr for a starburst љ occurring under conditions similar to those in the Galactic Center (see Lipunov et al. (1995d)[ 126 ]). We estimate the expected number of X-ray transient љ sources (NS + MS star), super accreting BH, and BH + supergiant binaries, all as functions of time elapsed after the burst. ...

We cannot observe the way the distant universe accelerates cosmic rays or produces energetic photons, but acceleration processes also occur on our Sun , though on a much more moderate scale. ... That is why such events are often missed by cosmic ray detectors near the equator, where the lowest energies are excluded by the Earth's magnetic field. The best detectors for observing solar particles are therefore those sensitive to the lowest energies of the cosmic radiation. ...
