Measurements of Tidal Tail Populations Designed to Optimize Their Use as Potential Probes

چکیده

The launching of up to four astrometric missions in the next decade will enable us to make measurements of stars in tidal streamers from Galactic satellites of sufficient accuracy to place strong constraints on the mass distribution in the Milky Way. In this paper we simulate observations of debris populations in order to assess the required properties of any data set chosen to implement this experiment. We apply our results to find the desired target properties of stars (e.g., accuracy of velocity and proper motion measurements) associated with the dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Milky Way.

Concepts in Imaging and Microscopy Imaging Membrane Potential With Voltage-Sensitive Dyes

Membrane potential can be measured optically using a variety of molecular probes. These measurements can be useful in studying function at the level of an individual cell, for determining how groups of neurons generate a behavior, and for studying the correlated behavior of populations of neurons. Examples of the three kinds of measurements are presented. The signals obtained from these measure...

تاثیر جزر ومد بر رفتار بلند مدت مورفولوژی در حوضچه‌های وسیع جزر و مدی

Tidal basins are described by major features such as tidal flat, tidal channel, intertidal area, and tidal prism, which have been formulated by some empirical relations based on field observations. Although empirical relations explain some morphological patterns, those are not applicable to all conditions. Due to the lack of observations for different areas and under different geophysical condi...

Assessment of the Potential of Harnessing Tidal Energy in the Khowr-e Musa Estuary in the Persian Gulf

Today, the widespread use of fossil fuels is caused many problems in the world, which include: Ozone depletion, the increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, growing recognition of climate change impacts and decreasing fossil fuel resources. These issues have led to an increased interest in the mass generation of electricity from renewable sources such tidal energy. The Khowr-e Musa Estuary, l...
