Spectroastrometry: a new approach to astronomy on small spatial scales
نویسنده
چکیده
The technique of spectroastrometry (measuring the wavelength dependence of the position of an object) provides a means of studying the spatial structure of astronomical sources on scales much smaller than the seeing disk size or the diiraction limit. Despite successful demonstrations in the past, the method does not seem to be widely known. This paper describes techniques used at the Anglo-Australian Telescope to obtain such observations with standard instrumentation, and presents some examples of astronomical results on sources including binary stars and active galactic nuclei. The potential for combining spectroastrometry with interferometry to observe structure on microarcsecond scales is described.

Evaluation of Updating Methods in Building Blocks Dataset
With the increasing use of spatial data in daily life, the production of this data from diverse information sources with different precision and scales has grown widely. Generating new data requires a great deal of time and money. Therefore, one solution is to reduce costs is to update the old data at different scales using new data (produced on a similar scale). One approach to updating data i...

Spatial planning approaches along with complication of societies are being changed. These changes and transformations have reflected themselves in increasing diversification of economic patterns, people, group, organization, and institution’s mobility. While in less developed network societies some of the concepts including “distance” and “movement “are relatively losing their importance , some...

parameters that have to be measured in gel dosimetry. However, the resolution in gel is strongly dependant on gel composition. Selection of optimum method in dose response readout and proper values of parameters can result in noise reduction as well as improvement of contrast, and spatial resolution considerably. Materials and Methods: MAGICA polymer gel dosimeters were manufactured and irradia...
