Not exact matches

Around 1918 Weyl attempted to modify general relativity so that it would not require absolute measurements of scale or distance — so that it would abide by an entirely relative system, again akin to that of Mach.

The measurement is the distance to SS Cygni, a star system consisting of a white dwarf plus a companion.

This innovative solution not only reduces system implementation costs by using WiFi six dollar chipsets (used, for instance, by very famous Cisco APs) to collect and filter measurements, but also the novel filtering technique applied requires just a few samples to estimate the distance range.

For two years, once a week, a distance measurement was taken of four Pleiades star systems, and five stars.

According to new measurements (Staffan Soderhjelm, 1999) found in the new Sixth Catalog of Visual Orbits of Binary Stars, Stars A and B are separated by an «average distance» of about 48.5 AUs (semi-major axis of 3.8» with a HIPPARCOS distance estimate of 41.6 ly), or more than the average of orbital distance of Pluto in the Solar System.

Previously classed as spectral type M4.5 e (with emission lines), the object was observed to be four times brighter than would be expected for a dim red dwarf of that type based on a revised parallax measurement of its distance from the Solar System (Ken Croswell, Science@Now, September 6, 2011).

If a star / planet system lenses a background source, we can get a very accurate measurement of the lensing star and lensing planet's masses, distance, and physical separation from each other.

This state - of - the - art sensor is the «eyes» of the XE's autonomous emergency braking system, providing highly accurate measurements of speed and distance of objects ahead, and can initiate full braking to avoid or mitigate a collision.

In the meantime, the legislation must fund research to develop soil carbon measurement systems that are efficiently operable over large distances.

Similar to the Leroy (1999) system, it adds total surface area (of heat sources and heat sinks) to the distance measurement as an additional metric for determining station site rating.
