Next: Calling Parameters Up: CAL_rawXY2mm Previous: CAL_rawXY2mm Contents . CCF LinCoord holds the positions of distinct reference points of the CCD's (at reference temperature) and the directions in which the counting of rawX and rawY increases. The size of each pixel is stored in CCF MiscData , and also a thermal expansion coefficient. Using these inputs, together with ( rawX,rawY ), the location of each pixel can be given in focal plane coordinates as a function of temperature. ...

... Using the uvby -photometry and proper motion data for about 5500 F stars within 80 pc from the Sun, we have studied velocity ellipsoid parameters and obtained the following results. 1) The sizw of all wllipsoid semiaxes increase systematically for groups of stars with the decrease of both temperature (at constant metallicity) and metallicity (at constant temperature). ... As a result, each of the three parameters - temperature, metallicity and velocity dispersion - is an age indicator. ...

... To determine a lower limit to the sensitivity of current observations to measurements of NS surface temperatures, we have used data from the Einstein Slew Survey (Elvis et al. 1990) to establish temperature limits for 275 pulsars which received nonzero exposure during the survey. ... Filled squares correspond to pulsars actually detected in the survey data; the smaller symbols correspond to upper limits to the count rates. ...

The hotbed effect (hothouse effect) in the planets atmosphere is the inside atmosphere layers heating (of the Earth, Venus etc.), due to the transparent planet atmosphere for the main part of solar radiation (in optical range).

As a result of human activities the CO2 content is increasing (and the other gases, absorbing in infrared range). ...
