... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ... This same performance will be achieved in higher winds when the telescope enclosure is facing away from the wind, or by using wind screens. ... The telescope system (MILT) will be remotely operable with an on-site operator's assistance by an astronomer located at one of the ARC member institutions. ... Mean Wind Speed . ...

... The next step after loading is to apply a number of ``fixes'' that are important for 3-mm data. ... By default atfix applies the ``standard'' gain/elevation model for the antennas. ... As mentioned above, the ATCA uses the chopper wheel method to measure an above atmosphere system temperature. ... On the night of an ATCA reconfiguration, a solution for the antenna positions is derived. ... Task atfix corrects the data for an improved antenna location solution via the dantpos parameter. ...
