... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

... Abstract Determine the set of osculating conic orbital elements that corresponds to the state (position, velocity) of a body at some epoch. ... In general, the elements found by this routine can have two kinds of problems: - The elements are not accurate but still represent the input state accurately. ... One recommended "sanity check" on the outputs is to supply them to the CSPICE routine conics_c and compare the resulting state vector with the one supplied to this routine. ...

... 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. ...

... 8, ``Celestial Mechanics'', 2002 Investigation of stability of NEAs orbital resonance motions by numerical methods L. E. Bykova Tomsk State University, Tomsk, Russia The problem of orbital stability of resonance Near­Earth asteroids (NEAs) is considered. Most of NEAs have multiple close approaches to the inner ma­ jor planets. ... The technique of the investigation of NEAs orbital stability has been devel­ oped by author on the basis of the construction of possible motion domains (R) of asteroids. ...

September, 2008 The root of the problem is that people are morons, more particularly, developers are morons, very particularly, xterm developers are morons. ... In fairness, it's not really the xterm that's incompatible, it's the xterm descriptions that ship with modern operating systems that are incompatible with older xterms. ... The developers had to know that people would actually USE the cool new features they put into xterms. ... A modern xterm! ... Line 'em up along with the xterm developers. ...

Next: Equations of condition Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Extinction and transformation . Bias can also be introduced by improper fitting procedures. For example, the reduction program known as SNOPY, used for many years at La Silla and also at La Palma, uses a simple iterative technique in which some subsets of the parameters are solved for, while others are held fixed; then the ones last solved for are held fixed, while the ones previously fixed are redetermined. ...

... In recent years, substantial information concerning the Io torus has been published. ... Explaining the observed steady state rotation of the torus seems to be difficult. The angular velocity of the torus must be in accordance with the celestial mechanics laws, of the same orders as Io's one. ...
