... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

It is supported by 15 EU member states, including new member states, and thus integrates the entire European optical interferometry community. ...

... Radio astronomy . ... This is impractical so, instead, we synthesise such a telescope by building an array of antennas. ... To obtain very high resolution, we use a technique known as Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) where we combine signals from the ATNF antennas together with other antennas in Australia, to form the Australian VLBI array, which can synthesise a telescope up to 3000 km in diameter. The resolution of this array exceeds even that of the Hubble Space Telescope. ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... Introduction to COAST . ... The quest for high angular resolution at optical wavelengths has prompted the development of a variety of techniques to overcome atmospheric seeing at astronomical sites. ... The Cambridge Optical Aperture Synthesis Telescope ( COAST ) was planned as a coherent array of four telescopes operating in the red and near infra-red, using Michelson interferometry on baselines of up to 100m to give images with a resolution down to 1 milliarcsecond. ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

Next: Data reduction Up: Spectral observations and data Previous: Observations with the KPNO . Follow-up spectroscopy with this telescope was conducted as a back-up for a main program which needed photometric conditions. So, the observations presented here were obtained in non-photometric conditions and the absolute flux calibration of the data is unreliable.

... The stars examined here were primarily culled from two lists of X--ray sources in Orion. ... The second region is two degrees in extent east--west and ten degrees north--south with Orionis being near the northern edge. ... In the end, two main regions were chosen for monitoring: stars near Orionis and stars northwest of the belt of Orion. ... The PSPC identified 22 sources within 15 of Orionis in addition to the sources listed in Table 1 , giving a total of 85 X--ray sources in the Orionis region. ...
