TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

... Астронет | ... Переменные Звезды | ... Микролинзирование . ... На протяжении последних нескольких лет в рамках проекта MACHO проводятся наблюдения микролинзирования звезд Большого Магелланова Облака - спутника нашей Галактики. Эффект микролинзирования заключается в гравитационной фокусировке света звезды массивным объектом, находящимся на луче зрения между звездой и наблюдателем. ... Согласно некоторым гипотезам, линзами могут являться реликтовые черные дыры или "нейтралинные звезды". ...

... fit_opt] [mean_opt] . This command determines the characteristics (position, width, height) of each selected stellar object through a non--linear best fit to the data. ... Besides the best fit, FIT/ROMAFOT also computes the quality of the fit by the test and the semi--interquartile interval for each individual object. ... This happens when the command is requested to fit a window with several objects and when one or more of these falls into the category ``NO CONVERGENCY''. ...
