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. ...

Magellanic Clouds in interaction evolutionary search for good models Adam Rzicka1, Jan Palous1, Christian Theis2 1Astronomical Institute, Prague; 2Institut fЭr Astronomie, Wien Idea investigate the LMC-SMC-Milky Way (MW) interaction by modeling the distribution of HI related to the Magellanic System (BrЭns et al. ... How much does the HI distribution tell about the LMC/SMC motion? ... It's all about proper motion... select a high-quality model (FF 0.5) and look around Tidal models don't work.. ...

... In brief: the frequency-dependent radiative transfer equation is solved for a dust under assumption of spherically-symmetric geometry for its distribution taking into account particle size distribution and quantum heating effects for the very small dust particles. ... Table: Model parameters for IRAS04296+3429. ... parameter . ... hot dust shell) . ... The best fit to the spectral energy distribution of IRAS04296 is shown by heavy solid line (see Table2 for details concerning parameters of the model...

... The described procedure returns the one-dimensional response distribution in PI channels, based on an input energy. The redistribution function of the MOS cameras comprises a main peak (roughly centred on the input photon energy); a lower-energy secondary peak, whose relative magnitude is inversely correlated with the photon energy, and a noise term which extends down to the detection threshold energy. Details of the current calculation are given in the CCF release note, CAL-SRN-272. ...

Lower panel: The ME spot map of the star in orthographic projection, showing the disc of the star as it would be seen by an observer on the Earth at the labelled rotation phases (see the text). ... We carried out high-resolution spectroscopy and BV(I)C photometric monitoring of the two fastest late-type rotators in the nearby Pictoris moving group, HD 199143 (F7V) and CDтИТ64 1208 (K7V). ...

Target Acquisition Reference Information . There are limits to the brightest and bluest stars that can be acquired with mirrors N1 and N2 because of the very high fluxes of these objects. Figure 7.3 on page 91 shows the limits for these two mirrors as set in the Constraints and Restrictions Document (CARD). ... Once you have predicted an acquisition count rate, you then determine the integration time per dwell point during the target acquisition: STEP-TIME. ... STEP-TIME Constraints . ...
