    European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere ESO

    European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere ESO Description The ESO (European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere) is a globally recognised intergovernmental body that builds and operates Earth-based astronomy research facilities and involves the majo- rity of the European States. Currently, the ESO has 14 Member States: Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Den- mark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United King- dom. It was established in 1962 and its headquarters are in Garching, Germany. The German offices are responsible for managing and carrying out most of the administrative, scientific and tech- nological tasks of the Organisation. Garching has laboratories which are used to develop technologies applied to the 94 sophisticated scientific observation instruments used in the telescopes, as well as integration rooms for them. It is also home to the ESO scientific archive which contains all astronomical observation data obtained at the observa- tories, which can be accessed on the Internet. e (ESO) ESO observation programme: instrumental equipment n Hemispher her The ESO selected Chile to build the first observatory, primarily due to the exceptional atmospheric conditions for astronomy and the possibility of accessing the sky in the Southern Hemisphere. The telescopes are set up in three he Sout locations: La Silla, Cerro Paranal and El Llano de Chajnantor. Although the ESO identifies its operational facilities in h in t Chile as a single observatory for functional purposes, they should be considered separately for description purpo- esearc ses. onomical R tr La Silla or As La Silla, located 600 km north of Santiago de Chile at an altitude of 2,400 m, was the site chosen by the ESO to set up its first facilities.

An international telecommunications system provides the vehicle for in- creased international global communication, understanding, and coop- eration.2 Telecommunications now plays such an integral role in rela- tionships among nations that alterations in the telecommunications structure result in world-wide economic changes.3 Modern telecommu- nication systems provide for the order, shipment, and delivery of goods in international trade; facilitate the international financial flows neces- sary for investment and management of foreign assets; and allow the efficient production of goods manufactured and assembled in more than one country.4 The United States depends heavily on a working interna- * J.D.

Box 2085, E-4 6071 Valencia, Spain 3 Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), Instituto Nacional de Técnica aeorespacial (INTA), Ctra. de Ajalvir Km. 14, Torrejón de Ardoz, Madrid, Spain Abstract. Two years after launch (04.21.97), LEGRI is operating on Minisat-01 in a LEO orbit. The LEGRI detector plane is formed by two type of gamma-ray solid state detectors: HgI2 and CdZnTe. Detectors are embedded in a box containing the FEE and DFE electronics. This box provides an effective detector passive shielding. Detector plane is multiplexed by a Coded Aperture System ◦ ◦ located at 54 cm and a Ta Collimator with a FCFOV of 22 and 2 angular resolution. The aim of this paper is to summarize the detector behaviour in three different time scales: before launch, during the in-orbit check-out period (IOC), and after two years of routine operation in space. Main results can be summarized as follows: A large fraction of the HgI2 detectors presented during LEGRI IOC very high count ratios from their first switch-on (May 1997). Therefore, they induced saturation in the on-board mass memory. After some unsuccessful attempts to reduce the count ratios by setting up different thresholds during LEGRI IOC, all of them were switched off except nine detectors in column 4, with a higher degree of stability.

    Satellite TV Conferencing Setup PROCEDURE

    PROCEDURE Satellite TV Conferencing Setup PRIMARY Satellite TV Connections KNOWLEDGE AREA Prerequisites: The operator should know the following information before beginning: Satellite channel of the conference broadcast Phone number of conference contact in case of technical difficulties before or during the broadcast Overview: This document is for use in preparing for a satellite TV system video conference to be viewed at the college or for any other authorized and approved use of the system. The document may also be used in cases were the satellite receiver connections have become loose or inadvertently disconnected and need to be reconnected. There is a hardcopy “DSR 922 Operator’s Guide” located in the room with the satellite receiver box that provides additional detailed information about the box. Also, check the General Instrument web site for any additional information that may be posted there.

INTRODUCTION 1. In this Order, we add four satellites currently operated by New Skies Satellites, N.V. (New Skies) to the "Permitted Space Station List."1 The Permitted Space Station List denotes all satellites with which U.S. earth stations with "routinely" authorized technical parameters are permitted to communicate without additional Commission action, provided that those communications fall within the same technical parameters and conditions established in the earth stations' licenses. As a result of this action, "routine" earth stations will be able to communicate with any or all of these four New Skies satellites. This should stimulate competition in the United States, provide consumers more alternatives in choosing communications providers and services, reduce prices, and facilitate technological innovation. II. BACKGROUND 2. The Commission's DISCO II Order adopted a framework under which the Commission would consider requests for non-U.S. satellite systems to serve the United States.2 To implement this framework, the Commission, among other things, established a procedure by which a service provider in the United States could request immediate access to a foreign in-orbit satellite that would serve the U.S. market.3 In the DISCO II First Reconsideration Order, the Commission streamlined this process by doing two things. First, it allowed the operators of in-orbit non-U.S.

    Unified View of Stellar Winds in Massive X-Ray Binaries

    Unified View of Stellar Winds in Massive X-ray Binaries Team Leader: S. Mart´ınez Nu´ nez,˜ University of Alicante, Spain. Abstract We propose to bring together specialists for winds from massive stars and observers of High-Mass X-ray Binary (HMXB) systems for two meetings at ISSI in order to review the state-of-the-art in observations and modeling and to develop a unified view on the physics of the stellar winds in these systems. The aim of the meetings is to define a general strategy on what can be learned from each other and also to explicitly advance towards a unified picture of massive star outflows in single stars and X-ray binaries. 1 Scientific rationale, goals and timeliness of the project The birth, life, and death of massive stars (Minitial > 10 M ) are deeply interwoven with the evolution ⊙ of star clusters and galaxies. Massive stars generate most of the ultraviolet radiation of galaxies – the whole Universe was re-ionized with the help of the first (super)massive stars – and power their infrared luminosities. Massive star winds and final explosions as supernovae provide a significant input of me- chanical and radiative energy into the interstellar medium, and play a crucial role in the evolution of star clusters and galaxies (Kudritzki 2002). Thus, massive stars are among the most important cosmic en- gines: they trigger the star formation and, together with low-mass stars, enrich the interstellar medium with the heavy elements but on short time scales, ultimately leading to formation of Earth-like plan- ets and development of life.
