... WFPC2 has a polarizer filter which can be used for wide-field polarimetric imaging from about 200 through 700 nm. This filter is a quad , meaning that it consists of four panes, each with the polarization angle oriented in a different direction, in steps of 45o. The panes are aligned with the edges of the pyramid, thus each pane corresponds to a chip. ... Accurate calibration of WFPC2 polarimetric data is rather complex, due to the design of both the polarizer filter and the instrument itself. ...

... 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. ...

... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...
