Currently only the very simplest model is supported, in which the all of pressure, temperature and water vapour column are free parameters, and they are inferred from the four observed water vapour radiometer readings. ... Command line interface to libAIR and water vapour column retrieval . ...

... The 6075 program is unique in its manner of obtaining data, and there is not an analogous set of observations to which to compare. However, there are some ways of seeing if similar effects are seen in similar circumstances. ... Examination of the details of that program showed that the same spectrum (at 2000 , say) was obtained in very different parts of an orbit during different executions of the monitor. ... Whatever is causing the Gilliland effect does not appear to be tied to orbital phasing. ...

Next: When the Observer isn't there: The OMP Feedback System . Up: Control System . ... The EMS implements algorithms as signal flow graphs, uses Matlab for standard algorithms and visualization, and uses ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) and databases for organizing pertinent data. ... Matlab can also interface with the GBT Monitor and Control system using a SOAP java client and XML parser, allowing Matlab to interact directly with the GBT, and pipe data back up into WiT. ...

... Posts tagged ?Schafer? ... The notions of missing data are overall different between two communities. ... Astronomers?I?m not sure how they think but my impression so far is that a missing value in one attribute/variable from a object/observation/informant, all other attributes related to that object become useless because that object is not considered in scientific data analysis or model evaluation process. ...

... Moon . ... What can astronomers tell us about the different colors on the surface of Jupiter's moon Europa? ... We can use the colors of Europa s surface to tell us about the chemical compounds that make up the surface and subsurface of the jovian moon. Even before the first spacecraft made a close visit to Europa, astronomers on Earth used telescopes to study the moon and were able to use a technique called spectroscopy to determine that Europa s surface is composed mostly of water ice. ...

INFLUENCE OF STRONG DISORDER ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY OF MgB2 THIN FILMS Th. ... D-91058, Erlangen, Germany (Received 12 May 2008) Abstract We investigated the influence of disorder on superconductivity of MgB2 films, prepared in a single deposition run onto two different substrates: (100)-MgO and on (128° rot)-LiNbO3 with trigonal crystal structure which does not match to the MgB2 structure. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) . To this aim, the two Landolt/Stetson photometric fields SA95 and SA101 will be observed on a number of epochs and at different airmasses during February and March 2007. ... SA101 . ... OBs for SA101 have to be observed during evenigh twilight (exceptions are expected for the second half of March) . ...

... Two types of epitaxial relations were observed for CeO2 buffer layer, depending on deposition technique and deviation angle of the substrate surface from the (110) NdGaO3 plane. ... Fluorite structure of CeO2 differs substantially from the substrate and film perovskite structure, that can lead to changes in epitaxy of both buffer layer on the substrate and YBCO film on the buffer layer (Kotelyanskii 1996, Mozhaev 1999). ... YBCO thin film deposition on the CeO2 buffer layer shows similar behavior. ...

... the time of observation . ... Observing the Changing Position of the Sun To Establish Cardinal Directions . ... Observations of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky and its pattern of rising and setting in the east and west horizon helped to establish the cardinal directions. ... The final stage of the Sun's return was marked by the observation that the Sun had reached its highest altitude when the full width of your mitted hand could fill the gap between the Sun and the horizon. ...

Next: Radial velocity of the Up: Optical spectrum of IRAS04296 Previous: Observations and spectra reduction . ... However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

The Sun is our nearest star and the source of energy for life on Earth. ... For centuries astronomers wondered whether they were clouds floating in the Sun's atmosphere, but we now know that they really are huge regions of magnetic field, about as intense as the field at the poles of an iron magnet. ... Such abrupt events were named solar flares , and what made them especially interesting was that occasionally, after a prominent flare, a magnetic storm would erupt on Earth. ...
