Most meteors are produced by comets, which shed trails of dust while passing through the inner solar system on their elliptical orbits around the Sun, In this case, the comet is a Halley-type short-period comet, 109P/Swift-Tuttle which was discovered in July 1862 and has an orbital period of 133 years. ...

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ... The period found must be consistent with the data from any given night....

Duty astronomers at the Compact Array are rostered from ATNF staff and students to provide support to observers at Narrabri for periods of one week at a time. The duty astronomers are required to assist observers prepare observing schedules, help set up the Compact Array at the start of an observing run, diagnose and attempt to solve problems that arise in the course of the observations and help observers with the initial analysis of their data. ... www.atnf.csiro.au/observers/tidbinbilla . ...

... From the peculiar shape of the light curve in the visible spectral region (a long phase interval of light constancy was observed by Hensberge et al. in 1981 ), HD 56022 had been expected to show unambiguously the nonequatorial symmetry of its surface brightness distribution. However, analysis of the light curve has yielded a possible equatorial position of a spot. ... A solution seems only possible, if the light constancy over the long phase interval in the visible is not observed in the UV. ...

... 371Gregory Taylor . ... We persent a catalog of 1274 discrete sources detected during a 5 yr, 6 cm, radio-patrol survey of the galactic plane for variavle sources. ... Seventy-five percent of the sources are weaker than 75 mJy, and as a consequence reliable sources and 27 possible variables were detected, of which 64 % exhibited shirt-term variability. ... A comparison with previous centimeter variability studies suggests the possible existence of two distinnct variability components. ...

... 2006 March 6 . Unexpected Comet Pojmanski Now Visible . ... Explanation: Have you ever seen a comet? ... Comet Pojmanski , officially designated C/2006 A1 and discovered only in January, now sports a turquoise tail several times longer than the full moon. Comet Pojmanski 's ion tail is due to gas particles expelled by the comet being pushed away from the Sun by the solar wind , the same wind that ionizes gas in the tail causing its blue tint. ...

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much , much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...
