The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Abstract Find a unit quaternion corresponding to a specified rotation matrix. ... If r rotates vectors by an angle of R radians about a unit vector a, where R is in [0, pi], then if h = R/2, q = ( cos(h), sin(h)a , sin(h)a , sin(h)a ). ... The CSPICE routine q2m_c is an one-sided inverse of this routine: given any rotation matrix r, the calls m2q_c ( r, q ); q2m_c ( q, r ); leave r unchanged, except for round-off error. ... Version -CSPICE Version 1.1.0, 21-OCT-1998 (NJB) Made input matrix const. ...

... In combining the data, it is assumed that the low resolution image better represents the short spacing data, whereas the high resolution best represents the fine structure. ... Key: out The output image. ... Key: factor The flux calibration factor. ... In practise, the calibration may not be perfect, and an extra calibration factor will be required to align the flux scales. "factor" gives the factor to scale the low resolution image to put it on the same flux scale as the high resolution image. ...

... We describe a new library (AST) which provides a flexible high-level programming interface for handling world coordinate systems in astronomy and for producing graphical output. ... Relationships between coordinate systems are represented within AST by objects called Mappings. ... While Mappings represent the relationships between coordinate systems, the coordinate systems themselves are represented by objects called Frames. ... Like all objects, a Frame also provides methods. ...

... SGML . The text/html content type . In this section, we begin the specification of HTML 4.0, starting with the contract between authors, documents, users, and user agents. ... These recommendations are not normative and conformance with this specification does not depend on their realization. ... An HTML document is an SGML document that meets the constraints of this specification. ... A user is a person who interacts with a user agent to view, hear, or otherwise use a rendered HTML document. ...

It is a matter of common knowledge that in processes of genesis and evolution of many solar phenomena participate magnetic fields of sunspots. ... As a basis for formation of the database we take data on magnetic fields, collected by set of observatories during many years of observations. ...

... Content Model: Optional list header (LH), followed by one or more terms (DT) and definitions (DD). A definition list is a list of terms and corresponding definitions. Definition lists are typically formatted with the term on the left with the definition following on the right or on the next line. ... The definition list element can take the COMPACT attribute, which suggests that a compact rendering be used, and is appropriate if the list elements are small and/or the entire list is large. ...

TYPES Trees are represented by two types: entree (enumerated tree) and bitree (bit tree). ... Also, it's possible to match patterns: tree <* treequery treequery >* tree The last two operations return TRUE if the node matches the treequery pattern. ... Example of how to add a node: select entree_next(tid) from dmoz where tid <* '1.2.3.*.0' order by tid desc limit 1; INDICES Type tree supports two types of indices: B-Tree - accelerates operations: <,>,<=,>= and =. ...

... A hundred years later, a handful of Tunguska-sized asteroids have been spotted by telescopes, but most remain unseen.

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

... The RFI group has also worked closely with the Astronomy and Electronics Departments to specify the filters needed for different observations within this band. An internal mini-workshop was held in May 1996, with the additional participation of Riccardo Giovanelli from Cornell University. Both on-line and off-line RFI-excision techniques were discussed in respect of Aeronomy and Astronomy observations. ...

Each Apache configuration directive is described using a common format that looks like this: . ... This indicates the format of the directive as it would appear in a configuration file. This syntax is extremely directive-specific, and is described in detail in the directive's definition. ... If the directive has a default value ( i.e. , if you omit it from your configuration entirely, the Apache Web server will behave as though you set it to a particular value), it is described here. ...
