Program: ROTMOD Purpose: This program calculates the rotation curve for a truncated exponential disk (Casertano, M.N.R.A.S., vol. 203, p735-p747, 1983), or for any other user supplied density law. ... USER= DISK radial surface density distribution supplied by the user [Y], or a truncated exponential surface density distribution. In case the user wants to supply his own density distribution, the following two keywords will be asked: UNITS= Enter units of radius and surface density [KPC,MSUN/PC**2]. ...

... Archives . ... It refers to the spread in the measured energy of an incoming photon, and even astronomers often stumble over what it is and what it contains. ... The R edistribution M atrix F ile (RMF) is, at its most basic, a description of how the detector responds to incoming photons. ... The process of measuring the energy introduces a measurement error, which is encoded as the probability that incoming photons at energy E are read out in detector channels i . ...

FEATURES OF THE HYDROGEN DISTRIBUTION AROUND LUNAR CRATERS PROCLUS AND KEPLER. ... In result of analysis of the data Lawrence and Feldman constructed the hydrogen distribution on the lunar surface [1]. ... However, the authors shown, that EN flux data features may be explained by other element abundance in the lunar soils, namely: Si, Ca, Gadolinium (Gd), Samarium (Sm) and Fe. ... Using of the Feldman's interpretation of the Lunar Prospector data [8], we constructed hydrogen distribution map (Fig.1). ...

... The described algorithm is suitable for measurements of complex images of stars. ... a) the zero-based number of stars in the complex (multicentric) image, . b) set of preliminary coordinates - x i , y i , for all stars, index i is number of a star, . ... i - index of a star in the complex image; . ... These parameters are calculated by a nonlinear method of a least squares.The main output parameters of this algorithm are x i , y i ; where the index i is number of a star in the multicentric image. ...

Next: Power of test Up: Basic principles of Previous: Test statistics . In principle, it is possible to compute a value of the statistic for a single frequency and to test its consistency with a random signal ( ). ... The factor N means that there is an increased probability of accepting a given value of the statistic as consistent with a random signal. ... In the command individual descriptions, we often refer to probability distributions of specific statistics. ...

Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

Searching for GRB -GWB coincidence during LIGO science runs Isabel Leonor University of Oregon LIGO-G050216-00-Z Motivation almost 40 years since GRBs were discovered past 15 years has been time of important clues isotropic and inhomogeneous distribution (BATSE); first optical, x-ray, radio counterparts; redshift measurements; association with core-collapse supernovae yet important ...

... In brief: the frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved for a dust under assumption of spherically-symmetric geometry for its distribution taking into account particle size distribution and quantum heating effects for the very small dust particles. ... Table: Model parameters for IRAS04296+3429. ... parameter . ... hot dust shell) . ... The best fit to the spectral energy distribution of IRAS04296 is shown by heavy solid line (see Table2 for details concerning parameters of the model...

... The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. ... Information on the NTP architecture, protocol and algorithms can be found in the Further Information and Bibliography page. The Building and Installing the Distribution page presents an overview of the procedures for compiling the distribution and installing it on a typical client or server. ...

The movie demonstrates a succession of 7 complete measurement frames of SCA-1 on rotating Interball-1 spacecraft. Diagram, inspired by Salvador Dali's paintings, shows all 64 viewing directions and 15 energy steps as spheres. ... The distribution of spheres along viewing direction is linear unlike logarithmic distribution in reality. ... Complete 3-D distribution is measured for about 10s. Rotation of the spacecraft during one measurement frame is neglected. ...
