Can anybody explain why the Hubble would be unable to see the equipment left behind by the lunar landings in the late 60's early 70's? I have heard that some...

After the Europeans chose to site the VLT up north near Antofagasta at Cerro Paranal, away from their "base" at La Serena, I thought it was established that...

I am interested in sky surveys that use short focal lengh optics (often 35mm camera lenses) for wide fields, typically for (bright) variable star surveys or...

The Sloan/SDSS filter passbands are approximately disjoint. This offers (in theory) the opportunity of imaging in several of the bands simultaneously, via...

PanSTARRS writes that For many applications, the rate at which objects can be detected scales as the entendue of the telescope, which is defined as the product...

In the past decade or so, many wide-field shallow sky surveys have been built. I have a list of a dozen that use (or used) commercial camera lenses with CCDs...

A decade ago, there was hand-wringing in the astronomical community about the "demise of small telescopes at NOAO" and much discussion, e.g. at the The Lowell...

I read the ReSTAR report (and the minutes of the meetings) carefully, because I am interested in the role of "smaller" telescopes. I found the report (and...

Hi, I'm trying to write the intro to my thesis at the moment and could really do with accessing Trumpler's 1930 paper: R.J. Trumpler, 1930. Preliminary...

Astronomy Hub - The International Astronomy and Space Forum Community -- http://astro.jconserv.net We are featuring and covering the Deep Impact event in our...

I need to know the gravitational potential of our Galaxy for some numeric simulations. I'm trying to build it with a bulge + disk + dark halo mass distribution...

I'm doing N-body simulations and have huge 3D tables of the particles position for every time step. I could find several nice astronomical packages which...

I am also having the same issue. The issue is, the citations of the two articles are merged. The details of them are given below: 1. Image denoising based on...

This is an announcement for the 1st Crisis in Cosmology Conference (CCC-I) which will be held in Portugal in the period 23-25 June 2005. All information can be...

Can anyone give me an idea of what the Galactic field population of red clump stars might look like on a V, V-I colour-magnitude diagram of a field of view in...

I am trying to get some comments on my Ph.D research here at the University of Texas at Austin. The title of my dissertation is "A General Solution to the...

It is my understanding that the atmosphere of Mars is so thin that the winds that always go hundreds of miles per hour would only feel like a light breeze. ...

I have a full windows simulation of the Earth to Mars trajectory on my website, with free downloads. No experience in orbital mechanics is necessary. Bar X...

Sorry if this is a bit on the frivolous side for this group, but it's something I've wanted to accomplish for years. When the sun is at just the right...
