The Department has organized and put into practice more then 50 expeditions for observation of Solar ecllipces, aurorae polaris, comets, meteor streams, controlled space experiments, and also for investigations of geophysical characteristics. ...

Armagh Observatory, 21 December 2001: . ... The Armagh Observatory's contribution, led by astronomers Simon Jeffery and Gerry Doyle , is to develop new computational tools to study the atmosphere of the Sun and other stars. ... Computers will communicate with one another using the grid, and computing power will become a commodity just like electricity. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

The detector background ( B det ) or dark count in units of counts/second/pixel and the read noise ( R) in counts of the CCD. ... As a consequence, in order to obtain correct estimated count rates for red targets, observers are advised to use the synphot package in IRAF /STSDAS (or Pyraf), or the pysynphot package in Pyraf. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...
