... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

An estimation of the errors in the derived parameters was obtained using the GA-derived parameters as an input for a ``classical'' IDL-CURVEFIT procedure (Peter, 1999; Peter & Judge, 1999). ...

Next: Using PSFs for Up: Better HST Point-Spread Functions: Previous: A New Phase . An example of how phase retrieval can improve computed PSFs is shown in Fig. ... However, there are some discrepancies between the observed PSF and the Tiny Tim PSF; note especially that the shape of the PSF core is not well modeled and the position and brightness of the bright ring are not exactly correct. ... The simplest phase retrieval method is to model the wavefront error using a low order polynomial in . ...

Abstract: Centaurus A is the first system in which direct evidence for a strong shock associated with radio-lobe expansion has been found, and is the nearest and most dramatic example of a jet / environment interaction. ... I will discuss the implications of these results for particle acceleration at the shock, for Centaurus A as a source of TeV radiation and UHECRs, and for shock heating in nearby and more distant galaxies. go back . ...

... Future seminars . ... Within the framework of the " Space weather " program, 25-year sets of observations of solar x-ray radiation, measurements of parameters of plasma and a magnetic field in the solar wind and variations of Dst index are analyzed with the purpose of revealing the factors rendering the greatest influence on development magnetospheric storms. ... The data on the other type of solar activity - coronal mass ejection (СМЕ) - cover only small part of a researched interval. ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

However, molecular emission features are only very rarely observed in the optical spectra of PPNe. ... On the other hand, it is well known that cometary nuclei spectra show prominent Swan band emission. In both spectra of IRAS04296 we have discovered strong emission in the (0;0) and (0;1) bands of the Swan system of the molecule. ... Now consider the case of IRAS04296. ...

... This section discusses the tags for defining scripts in a document. Scripts allow you to include JavaScript code in your HTML documents. ... The SCRIPT tag specifies client-side JavaScript code, which means JavaScript code that runs directly in the browser. ... For example, the browser interprets text within angle brackets as a script element, not as an HTML element. ... You can also use SCRIPT tags in the body of your document to define JavaScript code to be executed in that part of the document. ...
