... Since the reddening found for the stars in Table 13 was small, no reddening correction was attempted. ... These diamonds indicate the positions of very low mass, 3 Myr old, objects from the work of Burrows et al. ... This optical V versus R - I scheme is a very powerful method of detecting very low mass (VLM) objects. ... Because of this, young brown dwarfs are intrinsically no more difficult to observe in the optical than low mass stars at the age of Orionis. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

In 1950 Jan Oort noticed that . no comet has been observed with an orbit that indicates that it came from interstellar space, . ... From this he proposed that comets reside in a vast cloud at the outer reaches of the solar system. ... Unfortunately, since the individual comets are so small and at such large distances, we have no direct evidence about the Oort Cloud. ... Its orbit is intermediate between the Kuiper Belt and what was previously thought to be the inner part of the Oort Cloud. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

... 2015 . ... Observations using the Arecibo S-band (2380 MHz, 12.6 cm) planetary radar system started in 1976 and its power and sensitivity were greatly improved with the telescope upgrade and Gregorian-dome installation in the mid-1990s. Below, we show the number of near-Earth asteroids attempted and detected since the radar program resumed in 1998. ... The number of NHATS objects detected with Arecibo similarly jumped in 2012, and 2015 was again a record year, where we detected 23 of these objects. ...

... 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 . ...
