The reduction of a given magnitude m to bt is given by: . bt = a.m + b + c.(logr25 - <logr25>) . ... e.(logd25 - <logd25>) . f.(de1950 - <de1950>) . where a, b, c, d, e, f, <logr25>, <t>, <logd25> and <de1950> are constant values given in the table here below for each reference taken into account. The mean bt magnitude is calculated as a weighted mean where the weight (last column) is derived from each source of magnitude as the inverse square of the mean standard deviation. ...

... This is followed by astrometric columns - ie columns for the Right Ascension, declination, position error, galactic longitude and galactic latitude. There then follows columns for the computed significance (signal-to-noise) of each source for each of the filters present. Columns for the instrumental magnitudes and colours for each filter, follow. ... Columns for the standard magnitudes and errors, for each filter, follow. ... Standard colours and errors then follow. ...

... Alfa_ang is a GUI for the rotang routine. The purpose of this routine is to calculate the optimum rotation angle for ALFA given the RA and Dec of a source and the date and time of the observation. The routine also returns the azimuth and zenith angle of the telescope at the requested time, thus it can be used to find the correct rotation angle and azimuth for the Fixed Azimuth Drift Scan observing mode used by the AGES drift precursor observation. ... To run alfa_ang at Arecibo: . ...

The Arcetri Infrared Instrumental Group is involved in design, building and testing the Spectrograph (SPG) of the instrument. The cold spectroraph of AMBER (indicated by the acronym SPG in AMBER documentation), besides operating the spectral dispersion of incoming beams, includes the following functions: . Formation of an image of the fiber outputs at cryogenic temperature and filtering of thermal radiation from this image by means of suitable spatial filters . ...

... Restrictions ) are used. If specified form of output is EMP then astrometric equatorial coordinates are printed in the form usual for Ephemerides of Minor Planets, with formal precision of 0.01 minute of time in R.A. and 0.1 minute of arc in declination. ... It should be noted that the near-opposition ephemerides are not calculated for bodies/ points with numbers from –12 to 0 (in case they are included into task for computation of such ephemerides only their names are displayed in the results). ...
