    Extractions: It has become clear in recent times that the use of machine learning and probabilistic modelling tools is becoming more and more necessary to deal with the large amounts of data which are now available, and with the complex latent variable questions which are being asked. Furthermore interactions of astronomers and those from the machine learning community can bring insights into new techniques which are useful both in astronomy but also in the wider arena. Edinburgh University is funding a new initiative to push forward research on joint work between machine learning people, computer scientists and astronomers. We are pursuing a number of issues and problems where there is a significant overlap of interest. One of the early primers, just to illustrate that things can be achieved involved developing techniques for finding satellite tracks within large sky survey datasets.

    Extractions: Binoculars are an excellent optical aid to viewing the splendours of the night sky. Many households already own a pair and whilst these are fine for daylight terrestial use, they can quickly become tiring when raised up for star gazing, soon leading to aching arms and a shaky image. The solution is a Parallelogram Binocular Mount which takes the weight and provides a very steady image. When using an astronomical telescope, even at relatively low magnifications (x50), it is remarkably difficult to point it at a particular star, planet or Messier object owing to its very small field of view. This Unity Finder or Reflex Sight enables the telescope to be quickly and easily pointed at any visible object in the heavens. [ Home ] [Binocular Mount] [Unity Finder]

    Extractions: Minimum Requirements: All observation reports must contain at least the following information: Your name. The local date of the observation. The time (and time-zone) to the nearest minute for the start and end of the observations and of any particular measurements. Your location where the observation was made, in latitude (to the nearest tenth of a degree) and longitude (to the nearest tenth of a degree) and the source of that information (such as a map, for example). The weather conditions (e.g. clear, partly cloudy, etc.) The observation method [naked eye, binoculars (specify objective diameter and power), telescope (specify objective diameter and power)] To get latitude and longitude data, consult maps at the library or the web site: 70 pts Being There: You actually looked at sky objects in an organized way.

    Extractions: Asteriods Observations of Asteroids with the JCMT Astronomers in the JCMT Group (Redman, Feldman, and Matthews) have made and published (1998, Astronomical Journal, vol.116, pp.1478-1490) an analysis of their 1993-95 JCMT measurements of the thermal continuum emission from the large asteroids 1 Ceres, 4 Vesta, 6 Hebe, 7 Iris, 16 Psyche, 18 Melpomene, and 216 Kleopatra. They have combined their observations with previously published data (where available) to construct spectral energy distributions (SEDs) covering the wavelength range where thermal emission (as opposed to reflected sunlight) dominates the spectrum. The SEDs can be understood qualitatively in terms of the metal fractions, surface densities, and rotation periods of the asteroids. Possibly the most interesting result of this work has been the discovery that the normalized SEDs of the two M-type asteroids (Psyche and Kleopatra) plunge strongly from infrared to millimetre wavelengths. These observations are consistent with the presence of large fractions of free metals in their surface materials, which would make them reflective rather than emissive at longer wavelengths. This is the first mineralogical distinction that can be drawn from the shape of an asteroid's thermal SED. It offers the possibility that remote prospecting for metals on the surfaces of asteroids can be done passively at submillimetre wavelengths as well as actively by high-power microwave radar. The cover of the September 1998 issue of the Astronomical Journal featured the following figure, taken from the paper by Redman, Feldman, and Matthews. It shows the SED of 216 Kleopatra, represented by the effective thermal emissivity of Kleopatra's surface as a function of wavelength.

    Extractions: An interesting question in astronomy is whether more galaxies appear to rotate clockwise rather than counter clockwise.  A positive answer to this question might imply important properties about the structure of the universe. However, since there are millions of galaxies, it would be essential to automate the process of detecting rotation direction.    The idea to this question is from Professor Karl Nelson (see his memo of 10/19/2000).  Sample galaxy images follow (more are available from here M101 NOAO low.jpg NGC 1.jpg NGC1530 Camelopardalis NOAO low.jpg ...

    Extractions: With this fine equipment you are able to watch the whole spectrum of frequencies between 51 MHz and 860 MHz! You can use this rig for listening to the broadcasting and TV stations working on this bands, too, if you are connecting an additional IF amp, FM detector and speaker amplifier. Some background infos: Scientists tell us today that the amount of precipitate (e.g. rain) on our earth is equal to the sun noise, to the activities of the sun. The sun bursts are creating RF on several frequncies. The solar spots are connected with very strong magnetic fields. There are times with nearly no sun spots and there are times with many sun spots. The sun bursts are generated between such sun spots where one spot is the magnetic south pole and the other spot is the magnetic north pole. Flare explosions are celerating protons and elctrons and they are putting them wide into the space, away of the sun's surface. And high energy electrons are moving along the magnetic field lines between the sun spots and they

    Extractions: Spring 1997 Undergraduate Fellowships T he Hawai'i Space Grant Consortium awarded undergraduate fellowships in the Spring of 1997 to students at the University of Hawai`i at Manoa and Community Colleges. At Manoa, the awards were given for space-related research and provided a stipend of $1750 per semester to each recipient. At the Community Colleges, Fellows received stipends that depended on the scope of the projects. University of Hawai'i at Manoa: Gay Leong , a senior in Mechanical Engineering will work with Dr. Mehrdad Nejhad of the Department of Mechanical Engineering on "Fabrication and Testing of an Active Strut for Space Structures." Gay's work will include the testing of voltage-displacement responses of miniature active struts designed by former Space Grant Fellows. Mike Kobayakawa , also a senior in Mechanical Engineering, will work on "Optical Sensor Based Intelligent Control for Space Robotic Systems." Mike's objective is to determine the factors influencing the accuracy, reliability, and utility of laser triangulation devices which he will then integrate with an intelligent control system designed by a former Space Grant Fellow. Mike's mentor is Dr. Junku Yuh of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. David Matsuda , a junior in Anthropology will be using Landsat imagery to study the best preserved dryland agricultural field system in Kohala, Hawaii and to relate agricultural expansion to environmental and social factors. David's research project, called "Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Archaeology of Kohala, Hawai'i Island" is being conducted under mentor Dr. Michael Graves of the Department of Anthropology.
