Gallozzi et al., 2020 Concerns about Ground Based Astronomical Observations: Quantifying Satellites’ Constellations Damages in Astronomy 1 Concerns about ground-based astronomical observations: QUANTIFYING SATELLITES’CONSTELLATIONS DAMAGES STEFANO GALLOZZI1,D IEGO PARIS1,M ARCO SCARDIA2, AND DAVID DUBOIS3 [email protected], [email protected], INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Roma (INAF-OARm), v. Frascati 33, 00078 Monte Porzio Catone (RM), IT [email protected], INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (INAF-OABr), Via Brera, 28, 20121 Milano (Mi), IT [email protected], National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), M/S 245-6 and Bay Area Environmental Research Institute, Moffett Field, 94035 CA, USA Compiled March 26, 2020 Abstract: This article is a second analysis step from the descriptive arXiv:2001.10952 ([1]) preprint. This work is aimed to raise awareness to the scientific astronomical community about the negative impact of satellites’ mega-constellations and estimate the loss of scientific contents expected for ground-based astro- nomical observations when all 50,000 satellites (and more) will be placed in LEO orbit. The first analysis regards the impact on professional astronomical images in optical windows. Then the study is expanded to other wavelengths and astronomical ground-based facilities (in radio and higher frequencies) to bet- ter understand which kind of effects are expected. Authors also try to perform a quantitative economic estimation related to the loss of value for public finances committed to the ground -based astronomical facilities harmed by satellites’ constellations. These evaluations are intended for general purposes and can be improved and better estimated; but in this first phase, they could be useful as evidentiary material to quantify the damage in subsequent legal actions against further satellite deployments.

  • 7DVN:HE Hypertext for Pdas 3URJUDPPLQJ 6\VWHPV /DE &ROXPELD 8QLYHUVLW\
    7DVN:HE Hypertext for PDAs 3URJUDPPLQJ 6\VWHPV /DE &ROXPELD 8QLYHUVLW\ Introduction TaskWeb is a hypertext system designed particularly for small devices, especially Personal Digital Assis- tants (PDA’s). Much of the data on a device like 3Com’s popular Palm series and the Windows CE-based units is interrelated. But until now, there has been no mechanism for maintaining direct links connecting these pieces of information. TaskWeb enables the user to create and traverse n-ary links among records managed by the PDA’s conventional applications. TaskWeb makes handhelds more useful by incorporating the power of hypertext. System Description TaskWeb consists of two main components: the TaskWeb database and maintenance system (“TaskWeb Maintenance Utility”), and the TaskWeb linking utility (“TaskWeb Link Manager”). The former main- tains the actual anchors and links, while the latter provides an interface to the user so that they can traverse links seamlessly. Tasks are first created through the maintenance application. Once this is done, anchor creation is accomplished by associating an anchor with a particular link through the linking utility. Multiple anchors can be associated with multiple links, allowing for a many-to-many relationship between links and tasks. Links are inherently n-ary by virtue of this relationship. 7DVN:HE 0DLQWHQDQFH (QGXVHU 8WLOLW\ DSSOLFDWLRQ 7DVN:HE GDWDEDVH 7DVN:HE /LQN 0DQDJHU +DFN0DVWHU 3DOP26 TaskWeb System Architecture The TaskWeb Link Manager is designed to handle links to all internal and third-party applications on the organizer. Apart from creating links, this module makes it easy to traverse between different anchors by running continuously in the background throughout operation of the device.
