We report on the AAT-AAOmega LRG Pilot observing run to establish the feasibility of a large spectroscopic survey using the new AAOmega instrument. We have selected Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) using single epoch SDSS riz-photometry to i < 20.5 and z < 20.2. We have observed in 3 fields including the COSMOS field and the COMBO-17 S11 field, obtaining a sample of ∼600 redshift z & 0.5 LRGs. Expo...

Stochastic field distortions caused by atmospheric turbulence are a fundamental limitation to the astrometric accuracy of ground-based imaging. This distortion is measurable at locations stars with accurate positions provided Gaia DR2 catalog; we develop use Gaussian process regression (GPR) interpolate arbitrary in each exposure. We introduce an extension standard GPR techniques that exploits ...

The aim of this research was evaluate the seedling behavior of among Pistacia species can be used as rootstock in pistachio. Differences in stem diameter were observed among the species. The thickest stems were developed by P. atlantica (5.67 mm), P. vera cv. ‘Qazvini’ (25.47mm) and ‘Badami-e-Riz-e-Zarand’ (5.13 mm) whereas the thinnest stems were measured in P. atlantica subsp. kurdica (3.48 m...

in order to study morphological variation within seeds and seedlings of a pistachio population of ‘badami-riz-e-zarand’, 20 quantitative traits were measured in sixty-seven nut and seedlings originated from them. results showed that there was positive and significant correlation between traits of nuts (seeds) and kernels, not between seedling height and crown diameter. according to measured par...
