The science operations activities directly serve the astronomy community, primarily in the form of HST ( and eventually JWST ) observations and grants, but also include distributing data from other NASA missions ( e. g., Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, Galaxy Evolution Explorer ) and ground-based sky surveys.

In addition to archiving and storing HST science data, STScI holds data from 13 other missions including the International Ultraviolet Explorer ( IUE ), the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer ( EUVE ), the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer ( FUSE ), and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer ( GALEX ).

data from previous releases, plus the first results from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey ( BOSS ) spectrograph, including over 800, 000 new spectra.

Spectroscopic examination of the energy states in the outflow of matter from the companion star suggest that it is about 224 AU behind the primary, giving a combined separation of about 574 AU.

Spectroscopic analysis is commonly carried out in solutions but solids and gases may also be studied.

Spectroscopic indicators are the D < sub > 2 </ sub > O-exchangeable SH signal in the < sup > 1 </ sup > H NMR spectrum (< sup > 33 </ sup > S is NMR active but signals for divalent sulfur are very broad and of little utility ).

* Kodak Spectroscopic Plate Type 649-F is specified with a resolving power of 2000 lines / mm.

It is derived in part by the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera ( HRSC ) and the Rosetta Optical, Spectroscopic and Infrared Remote Imaging System ( OSIRIS ).

Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager ( RHESSI, or more rarely Explorer 81 or originally High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager or HESSI ) is the sixth mission in the line of NASA Small Explorer missions ( also known as SMEX ).

Spectroscopic observations with ground-based telescopes have shown that I Zwicky 18 is almost exclusively composed of hydrogen and helium, the main ingredients created in the Big Bang.

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer ( MUSE ) is a second generation instrument in development for the Very Large Telescope ( VLT ) of the European Southern Observatory ( ESO ).

Spectroscopic observations show that its spectral type is G7 or G8, which means its temperature is about 5, 000 K. Its mass is thought to be roughly the same as the Sun's, although its estimated age of 7. 7 billion years is rather older than the Sun's 4. 6 billion years, and it is thought to be beginning to evolve away from the main sequence, having consumed almost all the hydrogen in its core in nuclear fusion reactions.

Spectroscopic binaries can be found by observing doppler shifts in the spectrum of the star and its close companion.

* High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager Mission Profile by NASA's Solar System Exploration

CGRO recorded only about 77 events in 10 years ; however, more recently the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager ( RHESSI ) spacecraft, as reported by David Smith of UC Santa Cruz, has been observing TGFs at a much higher rate, indicating that these occur about 50 times per day globally ( still a very small fraction of the total lightning on the planet ).

Spectroscopic studies revealed absorption lines in the Jovian spectrum due to diatomic sulfur ( S < sub > 2 </ sub >) and carbon disulfide ( CS < sub > 2 </ sub >), the first detection of either in Jupiter, and only the second detection of S < sub > 2 </ sub > in any astronomical object.

* Spectroscopic analysis during heating resulted in shining bands unknown previously in the visible spectrum.

Spectroscopic observers found that ammonia and carbon disulfide persisted in the atmosphere for at least fourteen months after the collisions, with a considerable amount of ammonia being present in the stratosphere as opposed to its normal location in the troposphere.

Spectroscopic measurements of the strength and width of these lines allow the composition and physical properties of a substance to be determined.

Among the Laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission ( which includes the Curiosity rover ), the Cassini – Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory ( GRAIL ) mission to the Moon, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array ( NuSTAR ) X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Spectroscopic observation of nova ejecta nebulae has shown that they are enriched in elements such as helium, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, neon and magnesium.

Spectroscopic measurements revealed common radial velocities, thus showing that the clusters consist of stars bound together as a group.

Spectroscopic studies were central to the development of quantum mechanics and included Max Planck's explanation of blackbody radiation, Albert Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect and Niels Bohr's explanation of atomic structure and spectra.

Spectroscopic studies are designed so that the radiant energy interacts with specific types of matter.

Spectroscopic observations thus showed that nebulae were made of extremely rarefied gas.

Spectroscopic observations show that all planetary nebulae are expanding.

* According to estimates released in October 2007, the Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer ( FUSE ) space telescope, decommissioned that month, will continue orbiting the earth until it burns up in the atmosphere approximately 30 years after its decommissioning.

Spectroscopic image resolution levels of 200 nm or below has been achieved on latest imaging XPS instruments using synchrotron radiation as X-ray source.

Active site coordination chemistry of the cytochrome c peroxidase Asp235Ala variant: Spectroscopic and functional characterization.

Other uses of the term parallax in astronomy, with different meanings are the Photometric parallax method, Spectroscopic parallax, and Dynamical parallax.

Spectroscopic analysis of HD 209458 b, an extrasolar planet in this constellation has provided the first evidence of atmospheric water vapor beyond the solar system, while extrasolar planets orbiting the star HR 8799 also in Pegasus are the first to be directly imaged.

As part of the company's growing homeland security business and strategic focus, Raytheon has teamed with other contractors to develop an Advance Spectroscopic Portal ( ASP ) to allow border officials to view and identify radioactive materials in vehicles and shipping containers more effectively.

Slater describes the dedication of the Laboratory, the hosting of meetings of the International Astronomical Union, the American Physical Society, and a Spectroscopic conference, and ends: " In general the year has been one of settling down to work under satisfactory conditions, after the more difficult transition of the preceding year.

he is questioning, also, every epistemology which stems from Hume's presupposition that experience is merely sense data in abstraction from causal efficacy, and that causal efficacy is something intellectually imputed to the world, not directly perceived.

As long as perception is seen as composed only of isolated sense data, most of the quality and interconnectedness of existence loses its objectivity, becomes an invention of consciousness, and the result is a philosophical scepticism.

The lack of scientific unanimity on the effects of radiation is due in part to insufficient data covering large population groups, from which agreed-on generalizations could be drawn.

The Secretary of the Interior or any duly authorized representative shall be entitled to admission to, and to require reports from the operator of, any metal or nonmetallic mine which is in a State ( excluding any coal or lignite mine ), the products of which regularly enter commerce or the operations of which substantially affect commerce, for the purpose of gathering data and information necessary for the study authorized in the first section of this Act.

There is, then, the possibility that this Af bond is symmetric, although Douglass was unable to determine its symmetry from his x-ray data.

A summary of meteorite data, prepared by Whipple ( 1958 ) on the basis of photographic, visual, and radar evidence, is given in Table 5-1.

Therefore, N is inversely proportional to the radius cubed and in fair agreement with the inverse 7/2 power derived from 1958 Alpha and 1959 Eta data.

The observational data determining the concentration distribution have a range of error which is magnified in the extension into the micrometeorite region.

For four of the six ( the anaconda and the amethystine python cannot be included for lack of data ) there is also a correlation between size at maturity and maximum length, the boa constrictor being the smallest and the Indian python the next in size at the former stage.

There are few data on the boa constrictor, those for the anaconda are unconvincing, and there is nothing at all on the amethystine python.

Discussions of the giants one by one will include, as far as possible, data on these aspects of growth: size at which life is started and at which sexual maturity is reached ; ;

Third, the process of calcification is seen to begin later and to continue much longer for these boys than for the girls, a fact which confirms data for other groups of children.

Tables 1 and 2 present the results of the statistical analysis of the data when compulsivity is used as the descriptive variable.

The data is now interpreted in conjunction with a price chart, usually of a popular stock average.

Another example is his very infrequent use of the large amount of data from surveys designed to discover what and how people actually do feel and think on a broad range of topics: he cites such survey-type findings just three times.

What matters is that while Fromm's reading of the data is not the only one possible, it is precisely the one we would expect from a writer who earnestly believes that every man can and ought to be happy and satisfied.

The point is that in a system such as Fromm's which recognizes unconscious motivations, and which rests on certain ethical absolutes, empirical data can be used to support whatever proposition the writer is urging at the moment.
