Next: Discussion Up: The Second EGRET Catalog Previous: First Catalog Sources . In the first EGRET catalog, upper limits were given for selected objects not detected during the Phase 1 all-sky survey. These upper limits are determined using the likelihood calculation and depend on the EGRET exposure to a given direction, the contribution of the diffuse gamma radiation, and the proximity and strength of detected sources. ...

... ASTEROID’S MOONS : DISCOVERY BY RADAR . ... Moons of known asteroids have a low position ambiguity, which makes their discovery with powerful ground-based radar much easier than the discovery of new asteroids or other objects of Solar System. ... The other technique is a direct detection of radar echo from an asteroid moon. ... However, the diameter of a ground-based fully-steerable reflector is limited by 120-150 m to make it possible to perform two different functions: focusing and tracking (fig. ...

... Limit of star magnitude. If you want to obtain best results, you should use reference stars not more dimly than limiting star magnitude of your telescope. Limiting star magnitude depends on time of an exposition also.) This value should be set as " maximum of star magnitude " in a dialog box " Extraction from catalogue". To find darkest stars in the frame, make the following: . ... Two star magnitudes (m1, m2 in two photometric systems) will be outputted in the window "Information". ...

... Bojan Nikolic web pages (r. 329) . ... Using high-resolution three-dimensional realisations of turbulent fields, we investigate the limits on achievable performance of atmospheric phase correction using water-vapour radiometers arising from following effects: the incoherent measurement of power from water by the radiometers (in contrast to coherent detection of the astronomical signal); the different tapers of the response patterns of the astronomical and radiometer receivers; and, the ...

We performed a study of 104 RS CVn systems in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) using the all--sky survey data obtained by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE). The present sample includes several new RS CVn detections; 11 more than in the published EUVE catalogs, and 8 more than in the ROSAT Wide Field Camera catalog. ... For the RS CVn systems the losses in the EUV represent a smaller fraction of the coronal radiative losses, as compared to active late--type dwarfs. ...
