ion Revisited: We have seen the use of homogeneous matrices before for the purpose of performing affine transformations (that is, for moving objects around in space). We are using the same mechanism here, but the meaning is quite different. Here the objects are not being moved, rather we are simply translating the names of points and vectors from one coordinate system to another. The geometric ...

Past Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) work on the Rapidorr 444 required a quantitative check of its accuracy. Factory tracer tests were used to validate the developed CFD model. Since the model was a function of its input, these parameters, particularly juice and mud densities were re-calculated over an entire season and average values used. In addition a new three-dimensional model of the Rap...

We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of the optical counterparts V 801 Ara and V 926 Sco of the low-mass X-ray binaries 1636-536 and 1735-444. To assist in the interpretation of the spectroscopic observations we derive new ephemerides for the photometric variations of both sources. Superior conjunction of the line emission region occurs at photometric phase ∼0.7 in both sources, which indicat...
