Description
On 20-21 October 2005, the remaining six Chandra/HRC-I observations (as mentioned in ATEL #637) were performed as part of the XMM-Newton/ Chandra monitoring campaign of the 1.7 square degree region around Sgr A* (Wijnands et al. 2005, A&A submitted, astro-ph/0508648). The neutron star X-ray transient SAX J1747.0-2853 was in the field-of-view of one of these observations and we detected the source at a 2-10 keV luminosity (at a distance of 8 kpc) of ~8E35 erg/s (obtained using PIMMS and assuming an absorbed power-law model with a column density of 7E22 cm^-2 and a photon index of 2; uncorrected for vignetting effects).

    This is major release with several infrastructural changes that will make future development of dynesty easier, as well as significant speedups. The release also deprecated some rarely used options. Major refactor of the code that makes it easier to add new samplers. Major speedup of the uniform sampler when sampling in parallel You can now provide

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
