Next: Standard stars Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Equations of condition . ... It is better to have 5 observations each of 30 standard/extinction stars, than to have 3 observations each of 50 stars; in the latter case, we are spreading the same observational weight over nearly twice as many parameters. ... In sum, though one can hardly have too many observations of standard stars, one should not go beyond the optimum number of stars recommended by the planning program. ...

... Proposing for VLBI Time at Arecibo . ... Documentation (Field System, VLBA4 terminal, Mark 5 system) . ... In 2001, the Arecibo Observatory received its hybrid VLBA-MARK IV (VLBA4) data acquisition system, and currently NAIC commits Arecibo to support VLBI observing up to a maximum of 4% of the 305-m's observing time. ... Tracking Time (h:mm) . ... The inclusion of the 305-m Arecibo radio telescope can dramatically boost the sensitivity of VLBI observations, even with its limited source tracking...

The problem of solar wind data correlation for the observations onboard several spacecraft is very important for three points of view: . ... This problem is studied now in detail by systematic determination of ion flux and ion velocity data correlations by INTERBALL-1 (IKI group), WIND and IMP 8 (both - MIT group). ... Solar wind plasma correlation lengths from IMP 8, WIND and INTERBALL-1. ... Correlation of solar wind observations onboard several spacecraft: INTERBALL-1, IMP 8 and WIND data. ...

... The experience of determination of the link between radio sources and dynamical reference frames is presented. To obtain this connection we used a series of very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of the spacecraft Phobos-2 and angularly nearby quasars. ... The dynamical reference frame is determined by equator and equinox of these ephemerides. ... References . ... The relative orientation of the radio and dynamical reference frames can be described by a sequence of three rotations . ...

... This section gives a brief description of each of the parameters available to SCHED that are specifically for VLA observations or are especially useful for VLA observations. ... Should be provided for non-VLBI observations. ... This used to be required in order to obtain calibration data for the VLBI observations. ... FREQ: and DOPPLER Warning -- these parameters cannot be used for non-VLBI observations at the VLA since they are only used to adjust the baseband converter frequencies. ...

Our group is involved in theoretical and observational research in several topics of star formation. ... The Arcetri group is carrying a coordinated effort to determine the kinematics and physical parameters of clouds where high-mass stars form. Massive stars form in association with solar mass objects from gas clouds of mass anywhere between one hundred and ten thousand times that of the sun. ...

Figure 55 shows the ``Green functions'' for the double compact binary merging rate   evolution assuming no collapse anisotropy. ... Another way that diverse peculiarities in the - distribution induced by the sources evolution could arise is connected with a possible non-monotonic character of the star formation rate in galaxies. ... 22 ] Figure  56 shows two-dimensional cuts through the parameter space. ...
