... Standard magnitudes can only be computed for the U, B and V filters and hence the only standard colours that can be calculated are U-B, B-V and U-V. An important point to note, is that these standard colours can be computed using the following instrumental colours - U-B, B-V, U-V, (UVW1-U), (UVW1-B), (UVW1-V), (UVW2-B) and (UVW2-V). Omsrclistcomb computes all possible standard magnitudes for each of the U, B and V filters and displays them in a vector column. ...

... A well known problem with EOP prediction is that a prediction strategy proved to be the best for some testing period and prediction length may not remain as such for other period of time. In this paper we consider possible strategies to combine EOP predictions made using different analysis techniques to obtain a final prediction with the best accuracy corresponding to the least prediction error between input predictions. ... C2 ­ best previous prediction for given length. ...

The solar system probably formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a giant disk of gas, dust and ice in space. ... All forms of life on Earth require liquid water to survive, so the presence of liquid water is a good criterion for deciding whether other planets in the universe could be habitable. Earth is the only habitable planet in the solar system. Venus, closer to the Sun, is too hot to have liquid water. Planets and moons in the outer solar system are too cold for liquid water. ...
