HST Call for Proposals and HST Primer for Cycle 24 . ... Hubble Space Telescope Call for Proposals for Cycle 24 > Chapter 8: Filling Out the APT Proposal Form > 8.15 Targets . ... Your proposal can include observations of fixed targets (i.e., all targets outside the solar system whose positions can be defined by specific celestial coordinates), generic targets (i.e., targets defined by certain general properties, rather than by specific coordinates), and solar-system targets (i.e., moving targets). ...

Next: Command Line Editing Up: Command Syntax Previous: Command Syntax . By default, the last 15 commands entered on the terminal are kept in an internal buffer (the no. of commands saved can be changed via SET/BUFFER ). To recall (and execute) any of these commands, simply type the associated command number. This is the number ``xyz'' appearing in the prompt Midas xyz > when that command was entered. ... For example, if the last two commands in your command buffer are: . ...

... Compact Binaries . ... Unlike the Sun, most stars in our Galaxy orbit another star: these systems are called binary stars. Generally it takes many years for the two stars to orbit around each other. ... These binaries are interesting for many reasons. One is that they are predicted to emit lots of gravitational waves. ... Over time as gravitational waves are emitted, the time taken for the two stars to orbit one another changes by a small but measurable amount. ...

General Forum Message . Forums: . ... The Telescope's F/number . ... The f/number (focal ratio) of any telescope tells two things about the telescope and that is it's intended purpose and it's photographic performance. The brightness of a star depends on the telescope's aperture not the telescope's f/number. ... The f/number of any objective lens or a mirror of a telescope has nothing to do with the visual brightness of an image, the bigger the aperture the better. ... www.astronomy.net . ...

When using a large number of Virtual Hosts, Apache may run out of available file descriptors (sometimes called file handles if each Virtual Host specifies different log files. ... Unix operating systems limit the number of file descriptors that may be used by a process; the limit is typically 64, and may usually be increased up to a large hard-limit. ... If you system falls into 1 or 2 (above), then increase the file descriptor limit before starting Apache, using a script like #!/bin/sh . ...

... If you have centered the object on the chip the pattern will put the object in each of the 4 quadrants of the chip. ... They are the offset in arcseconds for the x and y inst plane offset, the exposure time in seconds, and the number of exposures at each position. ... A point about offsets should be made here. The dither program uses absolute instrument plane offsets, so you should use object plane offsets to center up on the chip so that the script starts from where you centered up. ...
