... Before you calibrate, you must prepare your data. This consists of loading, flagging, perhaps converting to ``channel-0'' datasets, and then splitting. ... Tracking accuracy: the tracking accuracy of the ATCA antenna is usually adequate at low frequencies, but at higher frequencies (where the primary beam is smaller), tracking errors become more deleterious. ... In addition, poor tuning of the antenna drive systems can sometimes cause poor tracking, particularly after a source change. ...

... AMPLE (Adaptable Minor Planet Ephemerides) is integrated software package to deal with a number of problems concerning minor planets with the aid of IBM-type personal computer. ... compiling a list of all numbered minor planets which can be seen at certain moment within specified sky region and visualization of their mutual positions; . ... As AMPLE is able to reproduce virtually any table of "the Ephemerides of Minor Planets" , it may be considered as computer version of the EMP. ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ... In the command: echo "regions fix all -position -size" | ...

... December 21, 1997 . ... Advantages are briefly discussed of gaining in spectral resolution, which is accompanied by losses in signal level, as compared with the attempts to improve the accuracy of measurement of line parameters by means of rising the S/N ratio alone with increasing the exposure time. To partially solve the problem of observations of faint objects at the BTA a new design echelle spectrometer is proposed. high resolution spectroscopy . ...

Orbital elements of binary components in a hierachical system can be fit to either the visibility data directly or to the separation and position angle data. ... Then use Data|Astrometry to read a previously prepared file ("zetuma.psn") containing the positional data. ... Semi-major axis = 8.4214471 . Semi-minor axis = 4.7663976 . ... We can now use the Thiele-Innes method to estimate the orbital elements from this apparent ellipse and the data, as implemented with the Util|Orbit button. ...

... The technology needed to implement a Distributed Astronomical Data Archive (DADA) is available today (e.g., Fullton 1993). Query interface standards are needed, however, before the DADA information will be discoverable. ... These parameters would be used to index each dataset in each catalog. ... The technology is available today to perform cross-catalog queries, to fetch the data at the click of a mouse, quickly to add new observation catalogs, and to distribute the load across multiple machines. ...
