... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... Open symbols refer to data available in the literature. ... The best-fit lines correspond to the exponential-linear relation discussed in Sect. ... We present a new extensive analysis of the old problem of finding a satisfactory calibra- tion of the relation between the geometric albedo and some measurable polarization properties of the asteroids. To achieve our goals, we use all polarimetric data at our disposal. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

This parameter can be used as an alternative way of specifying the XY phase of the antennas. ... Unless you explicitly turn off solving for XY phase in gpcal , then the only important XY phase value is that for the reference antenna. ... means that gpcal will solve for the XY phase of the reference antenna. ... By default it solves for all XY phases, except for the reference antenna. ...

... 7.1 Introduction to media types . ... 7.3 Recognized media types . 7.3.1 Media groups One of the most important features of style sheets is that they specify how a document is to be presented on different media: on the screen, on paper, with a speech synthesizer, with a braille device, etc. Certain CSS properties are only designed for certain media (e.g., the 'cue-before' property for aural user agents). ... For example, the 'font-size' property is useful both for screen and print media. ...

... More than 300 surface reconstructions are already known for pure Si surface and Si surface with adsorbate. Study of their properties by the methods of surface physics reveal numerous interesting phenomena including various phase transitions accompanied by changes of Fermi-surface topology, development of the charge-density wave, etc . ... The charge-density wave (CDW) develops in materials with a chain-like crystal structure at temperatures below the Peierls transition temperature. ...

... XRB SEDs | ... By using RXTE to determine the spectral state of a system we intend to generate SEDs using data that may have been taken at different times but were taken at similar X-ray states. Due to its all-sky coverage and long operational time, the RXTE/ASM instrument provides unparalled information on the spectral states: an ideal jumping-off point for studying time-dependent properties of X-ray binaries. ... Blue arrows designate X-ray observation times. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...
