Next: The ST-6 Up: CCD Systems and Previous: The Lynxx . The SBIG ST-4 uses the same CCD chip that is used by the Lynxx. The ST-4 uses a CPU box as opposed to a card that must be installed in the computer. This makes the ST-4 more portable than the Lynxx, since it can be run by a laptop computer for imaging, or with just the CPU box for guiding. ... The ST-4 is also capable of moving the telescope. ... Its purpose is to allow the CCD computer to communicate with the telescope's drive. ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... SAO researchers have discovered that supercritical accretion disks eject hot gas with a velocity of a few thousand kilometers per second. The supercritical regime of accretion onto black holes is very important for astrophysics. In the first half-billion years just after our Universe was born, supermassive black holes (quasars) began to appear and grow in centers of young galaxies. ... Gas falling onto a black hole (accretion) is not a frequent phenomenon in our Galaxy. ...
