The aim of this section of the course is to familiarise you with celestial Coordinates. ... I found some good notes explaining the celestial coordinate system on the web: . ... 1st Dec: 04hr, 00min In addition to the equatorial coordinates described in the notes above, astronomers also use (at least) two other coordinate systes: galactic coordinates and ecliptic coordinates. ... Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

The following papers summarize the characterization and technical performance of IBIS : . ... Characterization of Fabry-Perot interferometers and multi-etalon transmission profiles. ... Righini, A., Cavallini, F., Reardon, K. P., 2010, Astronomy and Astrophysics , 515 , A85, . ... The filter wheel is located between the two interferometers. ... The interferometers can be rapidly tuned, simultaneously, so to allow sequential scanning of the spectral lines of interest (see movie in IBIS Intro ). ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

The srcinten task provides PROS users with a tool to compute count rates for point sources in the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI). ... Corrected upper limits are cited at locations where the count rate falls below the source detection threshold. ... Srcinten is a new PROS task that computes and applies the above correction factors to the net counts in a user-specified aperture. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

I read with interest the letter from Stephen White in the June 2001 edition of the ATNF Newsletter, pointing out that the current 3-mm upgrade of the ATCA, while providing powerful new facilities, will not provide the first 3-mm interferometer in the Southern Hemisphere. ... The interferometer and eclipse results, taken together, indicated that the solar brightness distribution at a wavelength of 3-mm was constant over the disc except for a narrow bright ring at the solar limb. ...

... These are just the bare bones--just three basic ideas and rules for handling relations ("equations") involving unknown quantities whose values you are trying to find. In most calculations you try to find a number . ... To get a solution, one must replace the given equation (or equations) with others, containing the same information but cleaner in appearance. ... If you have an equation and modify both its sides in exactly the same way, what you get is also a valid equation. ...

... It may be added, subtracted, divided or multiplied in any way appropriate for ordinary numbers. A mathematical relationship involving known numbers (like 25 or 40) and unknown ones (like x ) is known as an equation . ...
