متن کاملConverting from Classical to Robotic Astronomy: The Lowell Observatory 0.8-m Telescope
The Lowell Observatory 0.8-m (31-in) Telescope was augmented by the addition of a robotic mode of operation in early 2001. This system executes any predetermined sequence of observing instructions without supervision. Described herein is a general description of the system, lessons learned from the conversion, and a few general algorithms for focusing, collecting twilight flat field images, and...
متن کامل[The Bureau of Longitudes and the founding of the La Plata Observatory in Argentina (1882-1890)].
In 1882, the director of the Córdoba Observatory became involved in a debate over international missions that were observing the transit of Venus across the sun, criticizing them for doing "harm to science, leaving substance aside in search of a shadow." The governor of Buenos Aires province and members of France's Bureau of Longitudes fostered these missions, and the instruments they used woul...
متن کاملNew findings on asteroid spin-vector distributions
The number of known spin vectors of main belt and near-Earth asteroids is regularly growing, including new objects, and updating the estimates concerning known cases, with the aid of new observations and of improved observational techniques. A reliable statistical analysis of the spin vectors is now possible. In general the poles (both for MB bodies and for NEAs) are not isotropically distribut...
متن کاملDetermining the 3D Spin Axis from TrackMan Data
When a baseball travels through the air, it experiences various forces that determine the trajectory. The most familiar of these forces is the downward pull of gravity FG. Less familiar are the aerodynamic forces, namely the drag force FD and the Magnus force FM . The drag force, or in everyday language “air resistance,” is due to the fact that the ball has to push the air out of the way. Rathe...
