We construct p-adic L-functions as Mellin transforms of certain distributions attached to Euler products. The method of modular distributions makes it possible to construct in many cases such L-functions from the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. ...

Hideyuki Saio Simon Jeffery are exploring models for the evolution of stars formed by the merger of two white dwarfs. The attached movie provides a simulation of the major events involved in the merger process. ... An initial binary system consists of two white dwarfs of masses M 1 and M 2 (given) with an orbital period ( P ). ... We adopt a simple expression for the white dwarf radius as a function of mass (in solar units): . ... The merged star evolution is simulated by a quadratic expansion . ...

... 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 . ...

... This document and the attached postscript figure document an analysis that I did to determine the optimum midpoint and required ranges for both the rotator and azimuth for the 2.5 M telescope. ... I simulate a series of drift scans on the sky for tracks that cover the northern survey area. These tracks cover the range in survey latitude of -60 to +60 degrees, spaced by 10 degrees. ... Along each track the azimuth, elevation, and position angle of the CCD is computed at 1 minute intervals. ...

The automatic flag raising system on a horizontal flagpole attached to the vertical outside wall of a tall building has become stuck. ... One side of the flagpole is attached to the wall of the building by a hinge so that it can rotate vertically. 3 m away, the other end of the flagpole is attached to a strong, lightweight cable. The cable goes up from the flagpole at an angle of 30 until it reaches the building where it is bolted to the wall. ...

Next: Imaging by an Optimizing Method . ... A big advantage of this numerical integrator is its stability: the error in the semi-major axis and the eccentricity depends only on the step size and does not grow with an increasing number of time steps. ... As the integration time increases, the numerical results become more contaminated by various errors. ... A new symplectic integrator produces no secular truncation errors in the actions of a Hamiltonian system. ...

If you are going to be hooking Sun consoles to your console server, you may run into a problem: The sun will halt whenever the cable is unplugged. It will also halt when the the console server is powered off and on. To prevent this we modified the wiring of our serial cables at the end that attaches to the suns. ... The server can still be halted by generating a software line break, which is can be done by sending an escape sequence to the console server. ... 5 CTS --+ 5 CTS 6 DSR --+ 6 DSR | ...

... Despite the use of counterweights, I have had ongoing problems with preventing unwanted motion in altitude, particularly during star parties when everyone seems to want to lean on the telescope while observing. ... After some difficulties at a windy star party a few years ago at the Boston Museum of Science, I designed a simple and very effective altitude brake and slow motion control which can be assembled very quickly and at minimal cost. ...

Russian SHAREABLE DATA CENTER Institute of Solar-Terrestial Physics SB RAS . ... A most promising problem is to investigate the interaction of two VHF powerful radiowave beams in the ionosphere, whose difference frequency is equal to the plasma frequency in some ionospheric area (that is, the difference frequency is taken in the range 1-8 MHz). ... Two-frequency interaction effects are based on radiowave non-linear mixing, which is rather complicated when describing and modelling the experiment. ...
