A large number
of additional observations are broadly consistent with the observed warming and reflect a flow of heat from the atmosphere into other components of the climate system.
The standard approach has been to
take additional observations for each candidate to rule out possible false positive scenarios, or to detect the planet with a second technique.
But both types of observations are costly in terms of staff time, and
additional observations beyond two or three do not add much in terms of identifying teacher effectiveness.
Using
additional observations from the 10 - meter Keck telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii, and from the 5 - meter Hale Telescope on Palomar Mountain in California, Johnson and his team could also confirm that the observed brightness dips were indeed due to planets.
Wary of a religious backlash, he kept his ideas secret for almost two decades while bolstering them
with additional observations and experiments.
The only possible hitch, he cautions, is that one or more of the supergiants could still turn out to be a pair of stars — something that will
require additional observations to determine.
Vanderburg and his colleagues
made additional observations using a number of ground - based facilities: the 1.2 - meter and MINERVA telescopes at Whipple Observatory, the MMT, MEarth - South, and Keck.
To aid the process of
obtaining additional observations, the MPC produces a list that is generally available of objects that need further observations and are currently visible so that observers with telescope time can make a special effort to observe these objects, thus ensuring that the elements of the orbit are secure.
He'd like to
see additional observations in the X-ray range, as neutron stars generally shine more much powerfully at these wavelengths.
This intriguing fingerprint quickly
triggered additional observations by teams of astronomers worldwide who obtained observing time with additional space observatories including NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR).
In the paper, Koper and colleagues
present additional observations from Yellowstone Lake and three lakes in China, exploring the characteristics of the respective lakes» microseisms.
It initially looked like a typical fast - moving small asteroid, but
additional observations over the next couple of days allowed its orbit to be computed fairly accurately.
The object should be easily observable in the coming months and
once additional observations are provided to the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Mass., the initial orbit calculations will be improved and the most likely result will be a dramatic reduction, or complete elimination, of any risk of Earth impact.
«We next plan to extend our analysis to
do additional observations along different sight - lines, which will allow us to make a three - dimensional probe of the rich complexity of the populations in the bulge,» Clarkson added.
The reconfiguration strategy included high - resolution enhancements at its Southern Great Plains (SGP) site and upgrades at its North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site that will
yield additional observations to support modeling and process studies.
Beginning in 2011, NASA's MESSENGER mission will
provide additional observations that can produce a more definitive understanding of the planet's core (more from NASA's news release and Cornell's press release).
«
While additional observations are needed to confirm this motion and obtain a precise orbit, this is apparently the first black hole system resolved as a visual binary,» they write.
It took five years of
additional observations at Keck Observatory and the year - and - a-half campaign by the APF Telescope to find the two additional planets orbiting HD 7924.
No further bursts were seen in 90 hours
of additional observations, which implies that it was a singular event such as a supernova or coalescence of relativistic objects.
An additional observation you could make is that as things contract, the general support network that had been available to entrepreneurs is likely doing the same.
Some additional observations:
The confirmation that its orbit is retrograde and co-orbital with Jupiter came from
these additional observations.
With
each additional observation, researchers have gradually gained a deeper understanding of the storm's — and Jupiter's — dynamic nature, and the latest are no exception.
In particular,
additional observations might allow the detection and analysis of planetary atmospheres.
Additional observations and archival data from other telescopes confirmed the on - again, off - again cycle of X-ray and radio pulsations.
Additional observations, Dvorak notes, may have helped these nascent astronomers notice the long - term pattern in solar eclipses with similar paths, which tend to recur roughly every 18 years.
Additional observations with the 6.5 - meter Magellan Telescope in Las Campanas Observatory, Chile, and the 8.2 - meter Gemini North Telescope in Mauna Kea, Hawaii, confirmed the results.
Then with
each additional observation, its estimated size and heft got smaller.
The additional observations of Europa supported the theory that an ocean of water currently exists below the surface.
Principal investigator, Dr. Scott Hyman, professor of physics at Sweet Briar College, said the discovery came after analyzing
some additional observations from 2002 provided by researchers at Northwestern University.
