... Once the observations are made, we must remove the instrumental signature, including atmospheric effects, as fully as possible. ... The atmospheric part can be removed quite accurately, but some remaining instrumental effects, due to a mismatch between the instrumental and standard passbands, cannot be completely removed, because some information is missing (especially in the conventional photometric systems). ...

... A floppy disk consists of a flexible membrane covered on one or both sides with similar magnetic substance as a hard disk. ... A floppy drive can usually use several different types of disks; for example, a 3.5 inch drive can use both 720 kB and 1.44 MB disks. Since the drive has to operate a bit differently and the operating system must know how big the disk is, there are many device files for floppy drives, one per combination of drive and disk type. ...

... Because of the low conductivity, the magnetic coupling is weak and depends critically on density, temperature, ionisation rate and charged species. ... Implications When the Hall regime dominates near the midplane and ambipolar diffusion is dominant closer to the surface, a thicker layer of the disc is unstable to MRI perturbations and modes grow faster than under the ambipolar diffusion approximation. ... Right panel: For weak coupling, Hall limit perturbations grow until vA/cs ~ 2.9. ...
