Rotational
velocity measurements made with the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope (VLT) showed that the disk galaxy is spinning more than twice as fast as the Milky Way.

The research team, led by professor Kazuyo Tsuzuki, had the subjects sleep in two bedrooms set to the same temperature using ACs set at different airflow
velocities, then
made a comparison of the depth of sleep and body temperature control using electroencephalogram (EEG)
measurements as well as subjective reporting by the subjects.
The Keck / DEIMOS combination is the only one in the world capable of
making these
velocity measurements for large numbers of Andromeda stars.»
Even though the radial
velocity method can only give some rough
measurements of an exoplanet's properties, like minimum mass and orbital period, it nevertheless allows astronomers to
make some educated guesses regarding the planet's overall structure.
Such monolithic interferometers will
make it possible to build relatively inexpensive instruments that are easy to operate and capable of precision radial
velocity measurements.
To determine how much ice and snowfall enters a specific ice shelf and how much
makes it to an iceberg, where it may split off, the research team used a regional climate model for snow accumulation and combined the results with ice
velocity data from satellites, ice shelf thickness
measurements from NASA's Operation IceBridge — a continuing aerial survey of Earth's poles — and a new map of Antarctica's bedrock.
Dr. Grimes said: «The future will see more use
made of sensor technology in smartphones, expanding the range of devices that will not only offer heart rate sensing, but heart rate variability, rhythm detection, and other important
measurements like pulse wave
velocity, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate.
