The Pilot Small Telescope Network (PSTN) is a state‐of the art system of easily replicable and scalable hardware, software, servers, eXtensible Markup Language (XML) protocols, and network middleware connecting and developing a pilot array of robotic telescopes to one another and the user community. The PSTN is a developmental project that will allow growing access to these telescopes, and make available data to faculty, students and others in an environment of collaboration. The underlying goal of the PSTN is to broaden the quantity and quality of astronomical education and research, particularly with a focus on traditionally underserved populations.

A new algorithm for differential photometry: computing anoptimum artificial comparison star     

Ch. Broeg  M. Fernndez  R. Neuhuser 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2005,326(2):134-142

Our new algorithm for differential photometry solves the problem of identifying proper comparison stars without a prior detailed study of the field of view. The comparison stars' variability is determined in a self‐consistent way, and their weighted average is used as a reference level. The maximum error in differential photometry using objects and reference stars of different spectral types is estimated. The results from these calculations show that the photometric band chosen greatly determines the level of accuracy achieved. Finally, an important application of high‐precision differential photometry are planetary transits. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献   

Few projections astrotomography: radio astronomical approach to 3D reconstruction     

M. I. Agafonov  O. I. Sharova 《Astronomische Nachrichten》2005,326(2):143-149

We develop a radio astronomical approach to 3D‐reconstruction in few projections tomography. It is based on the 2‐CLEAN DSA method which consists of two clean algorithms by using a synthesized beam. In complex cases two extreme solutions are used for the analysis of the image structure. These solutions determine the limits of permissible energy redistribution on the image among the components of small and large scales. Two variants of 3D‐reconstruction proceeding from a set of two‐dimensional projections (3D_2D) and from a set of one‐dimensional ones (3D_1D) are considered. It is shown that the quality of 3D_2D‐reconstruction should be similar to the quality of 2D_1D‐reconstruction if the same number of equally spaced scans is used. But a doubled number of projections is required for 3D_1D‐reconstruction. We have simulated 3D‐reconstruction of an optically thin emitting object. The present technique is a component of astrotomography and it has good prospects for a wide range of remote sensing. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献   

A mixed finite element method for the solution of the magnetostatic problem with highly discontinuous coefficients in 3D     

E. Haber 《Computational Geosciences》2000,4(4):323-336

This paper present a new a mixed finite element method for the simulation of magnetostatic problems with highly discontinuous permeability. The method is derived from the well studied mixed formulation for the div-grad system that is known to be accurate for very large discontinuities. The method robustness is demonstrated on a test model problem.  相似文献

Application of kriging with external drift to estimate hydraulic conductivity from electrical-resistivity data in unconsolidated deposits near Montalto Uffugo, Italy   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

S. Troisi  C. Fallico  S. Straface  E. Migliari 《Hydrogeology Journal》2000,8(4):356-367

In the framework of various studies to characterize the aquifer at the groundwater experimental field near Montalto Uffugo, Italy, the present work estimates the spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity of the unconsolidated deposits that underlie the area, by applying the geostatistical technique of kriging with external drift to electrical-resistivity and hydraulic-conductivity data. The reliability of the estimation method was tested by implementing a model, based on the method of cells, that simulates groundwater flow, with the estimated values of hydraulic conductivity. The results obtained indicate that the estimation method used has an acceptable degree of reliability.  相似文献   

锂同位素及其地质应用研究进展   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

赵葵东  蒋少涌 《高校地质学报》2001,7(4):390-398

锂同位素示踪是近几年发展起来的一门新兴的稳定同位素地球化学方法,锂有两个稳定同位素：^6Li和^7Li。自在界锂同位素的组成变化很大,其δ^6Li值变化幅度超过60‰,现代大洋水的δ^6Li值为－31．0‰,洋中脊玄武岩（BORB）的δ^6Li值为－4．7‰--3.7‰,由于锂同位素存在大的分馏和不同地质体中在截然不同的δ^6Li值,因此锂同位素地质应用前景十分广泛。目前,锂同位素在研究星云形成过程和宇宙事件,洋壳蚀变和海底热液活动,壳－幔物质循环和板块俯冲作用过程,判断卤水起源和演化等方面的研究中成效显著。  相似文献   

地理学的主要任务与研究方法——从整个科学体系的视角看地理科学的发展   总被引：21，自引：9，他引：12  

陈彦光  刘继生 《地理科学》2004,24(3):257-263

所有科学的主要任务都是建立数学模型,如果地理学想要发展成为一门标准科学——而不是走"例外主义"的道路,根据简单的逻辑法则可以判断,地理学的主要任务也是建立数学模型。现代科学研究的方法包括数学理论、实验室实验和计算机模拟,其中数学方法和模拟实验必将是地理学研究的主要方法;至于实验室实验,可用调查取证进行有限度的补充。未来地理研究的数学规范化和定量分析主要借助后现代数学工具(分形几何学和混沌数学等),而模拟实验则需要倚重仿生数学理论和模型。  相似文献
