... The concerns here are similar to those for observing bright targets; saturation and blooming of the bright companion PSF must not impact the faint target. Also, one may need to consider subtracting the PSF of the bright object, and effects which limit the accuracy of that subtraction. If the bright companion will saturate and bloom, it will be necessary to rotate the CCD so that blooming along the CCD columns does not obliterate the faint target. ...

... This is not important for drift observations but poses a problem for any observing mode in which the telescope is moving while taking data, since the ALFA beams then will be rotating on the sky. ... The new mode is called ' sky angle tracking ' and is available for all existing observing modes. ... The next figure shows the distance between the beams in declination as a function of hour angle when the telescope is tracking a source with Dec=+10 from rise to set with a sky angle of 19 degrees. ...

These values are compared to the observed H II region luminosities, yielding an estimate for the mean fraction of H-ionizing photons that escape the local nebulae in this sample. We formally estimate that, overall, 0-51% of the ionizing radiation escapes the local H II regions and is available to ionize the warm, ionized medium in the LMC. ...

... 227Wink This paper containes an investigation of 91 sources which appear to be point sources when observed with the angular resolution of the 100-m telescope at 4.9 GHz, teta_a = 2.6', and which we expected to be HII regions. The basic search list was prepared from the 4.9 GHz survey of the galactic plane by Altenhoff et al. ... In the present paper we list 4.9 GHz flux densities only for sources for sources for which we present new observations. ... source structure indicated . ...

... Credit: EUMETSAT Explanation: When the Moon's shadow reached out and touched the Earth last week, the result was a solar eclipse . Such an eclipse is total only for observers located along a narrow path corresponding to the ground track of the shadow's dark central portion or umbra . For this eclipse, racing along at nearly 2000 kilometers per hour, the Moon's umbra obligingly crossed over land along regions of Africa and Australia . ...
