For broad band filters the sky background will limit the detection of faint targets. ... If these higher sky levels would severely impact the science data, observers should consider specifying the special requirement LOW-SKY on the Phase II proposal. ... Note that LOW-SKY cannot be used for CVZ targets, as they imply mutually exclusive pointing constraints. Scattering of bright Earth light in the OTA can produce non-uniformities in the background which may hamper analysis of faint target images. ...

The preliminary version of documentation of the format for the interchange of calibrated optical/IR data being developed by Tom Pauls of NRL and John Young of COAST was presented and a number of issues discussed. The proposed format is in the general form of a relational database with different components stored in FITS binary tables. ... Should there be a single data table type that includes all data types, or multiple table types, one per data type? What data types are needed? ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... The enumeration of singularities of differend kind is a classical subject of enumerative geometry. ... This problem was studied for last 30 years in the framework of intersection theory. ... The motivation for this formula came from topology, namely, from cobordism theory --- the field that looks rather far from algebraic geometry and intersection theory, perhaps, this was the reason why this formula were not observed before. ...

Super Rocket Targets . NPO MOLNIYA has been designing rockets-targets for over 30 years using the great experience in crea-ting anti-aircraft guided rockets (AGR) for C-25M. On the basis of B-300 anti-aircraft rockets which expired their service life, there were designed, tested and put into the serial production the following types of the rocket - ... The analogue of this system successfully passed the state tests with the ZVEZDA-4 rocket-target. ...

... We present the algorithm and implementation details for the robust, realtime bandpass removal and calibration routine developed for the HI Parkes All Sky Survey project. ... Traditionally, the bandpass that is present in single-dish 21 cm spectra is removed by observing in a ``signal-reference'' mode. ... The robust bandpass removal algorithm implemented for the HIPASS Project successfully produces calibrated HI emission line spectra for most of the survey data. ...

... Introduction: In the present work the morphometric parameters for 87 large martian craters [1](with diameters from 411 up to 110 kms) have been determined: depth of a crater, the relation of depth of a crater to diameter (/D), height of a rim ­ h, with the help of profiles constructed on the basis of supervision of space vehicle MGS [2].The comparison with similar morphometric parameters of large lunar craters also is fulfiled. ... 2000) Morphological Calague Of the Craters Of Mars. ...
