    Near-Earth asteroids: Observer alert network and database analysis

    Get PDF
    The Planetary Science Institute (PSI) was funded by SERCulpr to develop a communication network to alert observers of newly discovered near-earth asteroids (NEA's). This network is intended to encourage observers to obtain physical observations of NEA's, which are needed in order to characterize and assess the resource potential of these bodies. This network was declared operational in October 1990 via an announcement to the asteroid observing community. The PSI is also supported to develop the Near-Earth Asteroid Database (NEAD), a comprehensive database of physical and dynamical data on NEA's. In the past year, the database was updated on newly discovered NEA's during 1990, and new data on radar observations and dynamical classifications were added

    Near-Earth asteroids: Observer alert network and physical observations

    This project strives to obtain physical observations on newly discovered Near-Earth Objects (NEO's) in order to provide fundamental data needed to assess the resources available in the population. The goal is acquiring data on all objects brighter than magnitude V= 17.0. To accomplish this, an electronic mail alert and observer information service that informs observers around the world as to the status of physical observations on currently observable NEO's was established. Such data is also acquired ourselves through a cooperative program with European colleagues that uses telescopes on La Palma to obtain spectra of NEO's and through observations made from a local telescope on Tumamoc Hill. This latter telescope has the advantage that large amounts of observing time are available, so that whenever a new NEO's discovered, we can be assured of getting time to observe it

    Archaeological and Historical Evidence for an 18th-Century "Blip" in the Distribution of the Northern Fur Seal at Kodiak Island, Alaska

    Get PDF
    Recovery of fur seal Callorhinus ursinus remains from archaeological sites on Kodiak Island, Alaska, shows a low harvest prior to late prehistoric and early historic time. Then there is a pronounced increase in the frequency of fur seal bones in refuse layers. Russian records do not show any significant take of fur seals from Kodiak, but by the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the next century there are reports that this animal, formerly abundant in the area, had become rare. This may indicate that conditions had reverted to their earlier prehistoric state.Key words: Alaska, fur seals, archaeology, osteo-archaeologyMots clés: Alaska, otaries à fourrure, archéologie, ostéo-archéologi

    A Study of the Use of the Word Law in Paul\u27s Epistle to the Romans

    There are Orthodox Jews today, as in their early history, who still place their hope of righteousness in various laws, rituals, and ceremonies. This became quite evident as the writer took his basic training during the winter of 1959 at the u. s. Army\u27s basic school for Chaplains. The problem was further intensified by the fact that the writer has found this problem to be a part of many individuals\u27 experiences. There are many of his associates of the Protestant faith who place their hope of righteousness in particular aspects of the law. Some feel that works merit salvation. The Orthodox Jew at Chaplain\u27s school could not eat with the other men. He had his own private kitchen and every Sunday night he brought in from town supplies for the week. His frantic rushing every Friday night to reach his weekend destination before sundown seemed almost maddening. The problem, a study of Paul\u27s use of the word law in Romans, is divided into two parts. The first part is to try to discover as accurately as possible what Paul was talking about when he used the word law. The second part is to try to indicate what Paul taught about law
