... 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 . ...

Jeff mock supplied 6 different types of filters to use with the high resolution mode of the mock spectrometer. ... Plots were made of the time domain voltage response as well as the frequency domain power response. A decimation of 10 was used for the filter decimation. this gave a filter length of 80 coeff. The plots compare the filter shapes for these filter types (.ps) ( .pdf ) . ... Each color is a different filter type . middle: spectral density reponse for each filter . ...

... Information about a variety of different calendars for different cultures (e.g., Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Chinese, Hindu etc.) ... In addition, the Chinese had two different ways of interpreting and observing celestial events. One way the Chinese used astronomy was known as lifa; it was a discipline that aimed to understand the regularities and the predictable events in the celestial system through careful, observations, measurements and records. ... back to Teachers' Newsletter Main Page ...

... R.S. Furuya, R. Cesaroni, C. Codella, L. Testi, R. Bachiller, M. Tafalla . We present the results of high angular resolution observations at millimeter wavelengths of the high-mass star forming region G24.78+0.08, where a cluster of four young stellar objects is detected. ... One of the sources is detected only in the continuum at 2 and 2.6~mm and we suggest it may represent a good candidate of a high-mass protostar. Mantained by: Leonardo Testi . ...

... 205Anglada+ 0) and NH3(1,1) observations towards 172 different star forming regions (99 observed in both molecules) associated with H2O maser emission. We make a comparative study between the physical parameters obtained from the CS and NH3 spectra, and their relationship with the H2O maser emission. ... We find that both the CS and the NH3 lines are significantly wider in regions with H2O masers than in other regions. ...

... It provides long range planning information to the scheduling team; it provides bright object, timing, and orientation information to the observation planning team; and it provides graphical description of the observations and their constraints. ... The GUI graphically displays the constraints that are computed by Spike and stored in the description files and in the database. ... BOAS processes all bright objects that have entered the database since the last time BOAS was run. ...

... Future seminars . ... On Control of vortex interaction " . D.L. Vainchtein (IKI RAN; Dept. of Mechanical and Environmental Engineering, University of California Santa Barbara, USA) . ... In the present talk I look at two different methods of controlling the interaction of two 2D vortices. ... The setback of this method is that it destroys original flow structures and is very energy consuming, as it must overcome the original dynamics. ... We call this method "adiabatic control". ...

About Zones of Resonant Returns of Asteroid Apophis . ... Asteroid Apophis is one of extremely dangerous NEOs. ... Using analytical and numerical tools, we investigate the loss of precision after the Earth approach in 2029 and the possible approach in 2036. ... Possible trajectories of collisions with the Earth have been found analytically and numerically in this chaotic region.

... In order to compare the number of different evolutionary stages obtained and X-ray luminosity of the chosen X-ray sources with the observed galactic values we use the sum of C/O+O/C , where C and O are the calculated and observed values of a given binary type, respectively. If we make comparison for a number of different binary species (for example, we compare the number of CV, number of X-ray pulsars,   total X-ray luminosity of LMXB, etc.), we write this criterion in the form: . ...
