Full Moonrise . ... Credit Copyright: Robert Arn Explanation: Rising as the Sun sets, tonight's Full Moon could be hard to miss. Remarkably, its exact full phase (May 6 03:36 UT) will occur less than two minutes after it reaches perigee, the closest point to Earth in the Moon's orbit, making it the largest Full Moon of 2012. The Full Perigee Moon will appear to be some 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a Full Moon near apogee , the most distant point in the elliptical lunar orbit. ...

... Cameras NIC1, and NIC2, each contain 3 polarizers, whose principal axes of transmission are separated by 120 degrees. ... As with the imaging filters, sensitivity information for the two sets of polarizers may be obtained from the Exposure Time Calculator. It gives the same information as was described in Chapter 4: namely a sensitivity curve, plotted as flux against time for a constant S/N ratio and an exposure exclusion curve for both point and extended sources. ...

... This section contains folded lightcurves and periodograms of all stars for which rotation periods were found. The light curves are broken up into three sections. The first section contains the highest quality light curves, those with FAP less than one percent. ... The third section contains the lowest quality lightcurves -- those with FAPs of between five and 20%. ... The fits to the light curves are 7th order polynomial fits to two cycles of the data. ...

Rising on March 19, its exact full phase occurred within an hour of perigee, the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. As a result it appeared some 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter than a Full Moon near apogee, the most distant point in the elliptical lunar orbit. ...

... I thought SMP meant "symetric multi-processing," a technology where two or more processors share equal access to memory, device I/O, and interrupts. Ideally one would expect a 100 percent improvement in processing performance for each additional processor, but in reality only 80-90 percent is achieved. ... This technology allows multiple processors to run user programs, but one processor reserves interrupt and I/O handling for itself. ... Only one definition for Linux... by Michael K. Johnson . ...

... The fitting package in STSDAS (Space Telescope Science Data Analysis System) relies on two basic techniques (one linear and one non-linear) for fitting functions to data. ... Results show that both methods may generate biased coefficients (at the ~few percent level), and over or under-estimate error bars (at the ~10 percent level), in particular from low signal-to-noise data. ... Function coefficient errors are computed directly from the covariance matrix. ... Abscissa is signal-to-noise. ...

... Recent studies indicate that stars are most likely forming within the binary and multiple systems. ... During several years we are conducting the observations of such multiple stellar systems at the BTA telescope in order to find their companions and study the properties therein. ... This star is interesting in that it may be a dynamically unstable multiple star, meaning that over time, such systems will split into individual stars. ... A bright component is a very tight spectroscopic binary star. ...

ASKAP PSF Simulator . Observing/Imaging Parameters . ... Array Configuration: . ... We use a 1MHz channel at 1.4 GHz, and assume a system temperature of 50K. This measurement set is then imaged using the relevant preconditioning. ... Running this in ASKAPsoft uses the same gridding algorithms as the ASKAP pipeline will - the simulated observation uses the AWProject gridder (taking into account the primary beam), but the imaging uses WProject, so that no primary beam correction is made. ...
