... Changing Programs & Resolving Problems . ... Several factors first came to mind that might explain what was seen. ... However, such changes cannot also explain the changes seen in the stellar spectra, and again this hypothesis was initially rejected. A drift of the spectrum on the diode array could lead to a decrease in observed flux over time. ... As mentioned previously, a significant change should also lead to a drop in the spectrum at one end relative to the other, and that is not seen. ...

Displays the current status of Echelle spectrograph and allows you to change the configuration. ... Select TUI:Save Window Positions to remember the state of this checkbutton. ... The contextual menu on each control can return that control to the current setting of the instrument. ... Note that it saves the state of the controls, not the actual state of the instrument, so you can save any preset you like without commanding the instrument. ... Then change any controls you like and press Apply to apply. ...

. You can display the line by line difference between two files with the diff command. diff file1 file2 . The information given by the command tells you what changes need to be made for file1 and file2 to match. If there is no difference between the files you are returned to the shell prompt . diff indicates which lines need be added ( a ), deleted ( d ) or changed ( c ). Lines in file1 are identified with a ( < ) symbol: lines in file2 with a ( > ) symbol. Examples . Did You Know? .

... Second, the observatory can control the configuration, test data analysis procedures, and provide calibration solutions with the help of instrument models. This paper presents the VLT object-oriented framework for the development of ETCs (Exposure Time Calculators) and data simulators. ... Instrument simulations are being developed for the purpose of predictive calibration, instrument configuration control, and evaluation of data analysis procedures. ...

Next: Mass change Up: Evolutionary Scenarios of Binary Previous: Stellar Winds From Normal . As mentioned earlier, the duration of the binary evolutionary stage (say, I+I) is determined by the faster evolving component , where is the time each component spends at the corresponding evolutionary stage. ... Next, we should calculate the mass change for the slower evolving companion, the orbital semi-major axis and the eccentricity. Mass change . Semi-major axis change . ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better. The definition of when the seasons begin is at the moment of solstice or equinox; that is, winter (in the north) starts on December 22 nd and summer starts on June 22 nd . ... Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
