The statistics of the photometric accuracy based on MASS data and the evaluation of high-altitude wind

The effect of stellar scintillation on the accuracy of photometric measurements is analyzed. We obtain a convenient form of estimaton of this effect in the long exposure regime, when the turbulence shift produced by the wind is much larger than the aperture of the telescope. A simple method is proposed to determine index $S_3$ introduced by perture of the Kenyon et al. (2006), directly from the measurements with the Multi Aperture Scintillation Sensor (MASS) without information on vertical profile of the wind. The statistics $S_3$ resulting from our campaign of 2005 -- 2007 at Maidanak observatory is presented. It is shown that these data can be used to estimate high-altitude winds at pressure level 70 -- 100 mbar. Comparison with the wind speed retrieved from the NCEP/NCAR global models shows a good agreement. Some prospects for retrieval of the wind speed profile from the MASS measurements are outlined.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, accepted for publication in Astronomy Letter

Weight functions of light shield and the signal at the input of optical sensor at the intersection of the bullets of light shield

In this article, the definition of weight functions of a light shield at the intersection of the bullet in different field areas of shield registration is considered. The signal definition at the input of an optical sensor at the intersection of the bullet of a light shield is viewed. The research results can be used in considering the facts that can influence on the error estimation of the coordinate determination when a bullet hits the target

Strategic orientations for systemic modernization of the Russian Federation’s social development

Analysis of main economic indicators characterizing domestic economy’s level of development and structure for past two decades confirms the assumptions about the reasons of immediacy of domestic economy’s systemic modernization proble

Regional manifestations of changes in atmospheric circulation in the Central Black Earth region : by the example of Belgorod region

The aim of this work is the estimation of the reasons of occurrence of the area of dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena and the analysis of the circulation processes, leading to the establishment of extreme weather conditions in the region. Using the calendar of the consistent changes of elementary circulation mechanisms and daily observations of the weather in the south of Central Black Earth region (by the example of Belgorod region).yesBelgorod State National Research Universit

The results of introduction of East Asian origin flowering plants in the southwest of Central Russian upland

The article is devoted to the study of the results of introduction of East Asian origin flowering plants, growing in the dendrological collection of Belgorod Botanical Garden. The most important ecological and biological characteristics of the plants were studied. The estimation of the growth and development nature of introduced species, according to their resistance to the complex of unfavorable factors, was carried ou

Modern geochemical situation in the area of mining facilities of Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (by the example of Mikhailovsky GOK)

They provided the results of geochemical situation analysis in the KMA region over the past 10 years on the basis of literature data and the materials of author's studies on the example of the Mikhailovsky ore mining and processing enterprise are presented. The statistical analysis of pollutant distribution dependencies is performed within the ore mining and processing enterprise impact zones, the areas of element dispersion were estimated, the indices of industrial and agro-industrial background have been calculated using the example of a model territor
