For example, modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) has no relativistic extension, and so makes no firm lensing predictions, but galaxy-galaxy lensing data can be used to empirically constrain the deflection law of a MONDian point-mass. ...

The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

On January 23, 1998 the space probe NEAR was on its way to its closest approach to Earth. Shortly before this, a so-called sunglint event was scheduled: by re-orienting its solar panels in order to reflect sunlight onto Earth's surface, the probe would shine for a few minutes brighter than any star in the sky. ... However, we were able to record a series of images of the space probe shortly before the sunglint event, and we have assembled them into a movie. ...

... IRAF Reduction Script . ... I have developed a protocol for reducing ARC Echelle data within IRAF, based on the pre-built IRAF scripts modified for the parameters of the Echelle. ... Object spectra . ... Not all users take biases with the Echelle, so a minor bit of editing is needed to adapt the script to biasless data sets. ... The result of operating on Echelle data with this script is fully calibrated, normalized 2-D output spectra from which scattered inter-order light has been subtracted. ...

... His early works dealt with statistical methods especially in atmospheric, geomagnetic and ionospheric tides. In 1928, Bartels became professor in Eberswalde; in 1936, he became director of the Potsdam Geophysical Institute and full professor at Berlin university. ... With these statistical methods, he was able to disprove many widely accepted geophysical models on the one hand and develop some very useful and easy to apply geophysical indices on the other. ...
