Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... ESO Data . ... The pipeline by default interpolates across the bad columns in the REDL CCD when it creates the master bias, but does not so when it processes the science data. This inconsistency can create boxy emission-like features as seen in the figure below. ...

This file gives some hints on setting up the ABPP for pulsar observations and taking data. ... ABPP will always choose the largest bandwidth possible given the RF and the DM of the pulsar. ... The simplest way to control the WAPP datataking program is via tha datataking GUI shown below. ... As soon as the PC echos back to the gui in the ABPP LOG, that it is, in fact, taking data, you will see this reflected in the gui by the pink "SETTING UP MACHINE" being replaced by a green "DATATAKING ACTIVE". ...

Trail encounter . ... Expected meteor rates . ... The Leonids are the debris of Comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle. ... The Earth's passage right through the centre of trails is associated with the most spectacular meteor displays (studies show that, as well as how close to the centre of the trail you are, the strength of the display also depends on how far along a trail's length you are). ... The encounter with the 1932 trail will lead to enhanced meteor activity: a nice outburst, but below storm level. ...

... A star party is a gathering of amateur astronomers who set up their telescopes and observe the dynamic night sky. ... Star parties are best scheduled during first quarter and waxing gibbous Moon.

... Actual stars are expected to be more complicated than these simulations. ... The spot may be entirely visible most of the time (one would observe a prolonged flux minimum low), and then part of it may disappear over the horizon briefly and then return (slow rise and then fall back to constant level). ... With the set of observations taken here, I have information available from several comparison stars and color information. ... The period found must be consistent with the data from any given night....

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much , much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...

... INSTRUMENT: SurveyCam FILTERS: Stromgren uvby, 2" square COMMENTS: remote observations are expected BRIEF SCIENCE JUSTIFICATION: Last decade numerous faint structures at the periphery of regular galaxies, as arcs, tails, or streams, have been discovered (see e.g. Martinez-Delgado et al., ... The broad-band photometry is used for observing the faint structures, but it does not allow to break the age-metallicity degeneracy efficiently. ...
