It also has Phoenix, a high-resolution infrared spectrograph build by NOAO of the United States, although this instrument is no longer offered.

NOAO seems to have made no effort to clarify this situation, open-source developers concerned with license issues have made no effort to correct this on their own, and so efforts to package the software for drop-in installation in GNU / Linux systems have lapsed.

A full IRAF working environment usually requires two other applications: an extended xterm window with a graphics windows ( called xgterm and distributed in a separate X11-IRAF package by NOAO ) and an image display program referred to as an " image server ".

The NOAO headquarters are located in Tucson, Arizona and are co-located with the headquarters of the National Solar Observatory.

The NOAO is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy ( AURA ), under a cooperative agreement with the NSF.

It will share operational infrastructure with Gemini, SOAR, and NOAO, both on the mountain and in La Serena.

NOAO is working with both projects in planning for potential future involvement of the broad US community through operational support funding by the NSF.

SMARTS contracts with NOAO to maintain the telescopes it controls at CTIO, and NOAO retains the right to 25 % of the observing time, and Chilean scientists retain 10 %.

Over the years, AURA expanded its focus to include Solar Astronomy and the Gemini 8-meter telescopes, going on to partner with other consortia such as WIYN ( Wisconsin Indiana Yale & NOAO ) and SOAR ( Southern Astrophysical Research ).

From 2004 to 2010, approximately 8 % of MMT observing time was made accessible to the entire astronomical community via the US National Science Foundation's Telescope System Instrumentation Program ( TSIP ), administered by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ).

NOAO continues to work on behalf of the community to effectively shape the System and gain steady, state-of-the-art research capabilities of all apertures for open, merit based science.

A clear success story is the public access to non-federal large aperture telescopes through the NSF funded and NOAO managed Telescope System Instrumentation Program ( TSIP ).

The Small and Medium Research Telescope System ( SMARTS ) is a consortium formed in 2001 after NOAO announced it would no longer support anything smaller than two meters at CTIO.

In 1982 NOAO was formed to consolidate the management of three optical observatories — Kitt Peak ; the National Solar Observatory facilities at Kitt Peak and Sacramento Peak, New Mexico ; and the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile.

NASA accepts proposals from researchers based in the United States, while the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ) accept proposals from researchers around the world.

IRAF ( an acronym for Image Reduction and Analysis Facility ) is a collection of software written at the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ) geared towards the reduction of astronomical images in pixel array form.

There are many packages available by NOAO and external developers often focusing on a particular branch of research or facility.

In March 2012, NOAO released v2. 16 of IRAF, citing one of the " new capabilities " as " Removal of all license restrictions-IRAF is now free ".

An adaptive secondary mirror is being developed by NOAO for Gemini ; this would provide reasonable adaptive-optics corrections ( equivalent to natural seeing at the 20th-percentile level 80 % of the time ) to all instruments on the telescope to which it is attached.

* NICI ( Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager ), built by the University of Hawaii and NOAO.

The National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ) is the United States national observatory for ground based nighttime ultraviolet-optical-infrared ( OUVIR ) astronomy.

However, professional astronomers from any country in the world may apply to use the telescopes operated by NOAO under the NSF's " open skies " policy.

The combination of truly open access and the merit based science proposal process makes NOAO unique in the world.

NOAO operates world class research telescopes in both the northern and southern hemispheres.

NOAO is a founding partner in the LSST project.

During this phase, NOAO is responsible for design & development of the LSST telescope system and site facilities.

CTIO is one of two observatories managed by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ), the other being Kitt Peak National Observatory ( KPNO ) near Tucson, Arizona.

NOAO is operated by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy ( AURA ), which owns the property around the two peaks in Chile and at the headquarters in La Serena.

The doctrine has never worked ; ;

In the allocation pattern worked out for these frequencies, the provision of long-range service has to some extent been subordinated to the other two objectives -- assignment of multiple facilities, and assignment of stations in as many communities as possible.

Trackdown ( Torrid-Mighty Lady ) has worked a mile in 2:33.3.

Step Aside ( Direct Rhythm-Wily Widow ) has worked in 2:32 on the half-mile track and shows promise.

Sam Caton's Butterwyn ( Scotch Victor-Butler Wyn ), a light bay filly, knows nothing but trot and has worked on the half-mile in 2:30-:36.

Flick Nipe's and Neil Engle's Miss Phone ( Galophone-Prissy Miss ) is a fine-looking filly with good disposition and good gait, and she has worked up to date in 2:46.

Gradually he withdrew from the shop altogether, and for the past thirty years, he has worked independently as a painter, except for his continued hunting and fishing expeditions.

The mechanism of action of these drugs has not been completely worked out, but certain of them appear to act by reducing the oxidised form of iodine before it can iodinate thyroglobulin ( Astwood, 1954 ).
