Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

... The IRAF task rvcorrect is used to compute radial velocity corrections. rvcorrect is in the IRAF astutil package and it calls on task observatory , which is also found in astutil. The following steps are an example of its use for an HST dataset where the HST velocity around the Earth is ignored (maximum residual: +/- ~7.8 km/s): . ... Here is an example of file rvcor . ... Run the rvcorrect task: cl>rvcorrect f=rvcor.in > outputfile The above example produced the following output file. ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

... SFIT is a general-purpose code designed to optimize theoretical stellar spectra to an observed spectrum. ... While the programme expects input from "stdio", it is more natural to save commands in a file (eg "sfit_input") and run the code simply by . ... If the spectra to be fitted have a filename "star_spectrum", then the best fit spectrum will be written out, together with the renormalized input spectrum, to a file called "star_spectrum.fit". ... sets up model spectrum grid (and for 2nd star) . ...

... In this case, because polarimetry is not currently possible with the 3-mm system, only task mfcal is needed to perform bandpass and antenna calibration. ... This section outlines an alternative calibration approach exploiting the dual frequency bands of the ATCA. ... Unlike the approach of Chapter 11 , the approach described here does not split the data into separate single source, single frequency files before calibration. ...

... Many of our new results favour a conal geometry for the arrangement of emission regions and allow accurate estimates of the emission heights and polar cap locations for the emission cones to be obtained. These results indicate that pulsar emission cones may be located at around half-way out the edge of the polar cap and at altitudes of a few hundred to a thousand kilometers above the neutron star surface. ...
