111Vainu Bappu Observatory — The Vainu Bappu Observatory, or VBO for short, is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by Indian Institute of Astrophysics. It is located in the Javadi Hills near the town of Kavalur in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, 175 km south east… …
112Saccharimeter — A saccharimeter is an instrument for measuring the concentration of sugar solutions.This is commonly achieved using a measurement of refractive index (refractometer) or the angle of rotation of polarization of optically active sugars… …
113Clover (detector) — For other uses, see Clover (disambiguation). A clover detector is a gamma ray detector used in many physics laboratories. It consists of 4 coaxial N type high purity germanium (Ge) crystals each machined to shape and mounted in a common cryostat… …
114Hinode — Infobox Space telescope name = Hinode caption = Artist s impression of the Hinode spacecraft (then known as Solar B) in orbit organization = JAXA / NASA / PPARC alt names = Solar B nssdc id = location = orbit type = sun synchronous orbit height …
115Vector magnetograph — A vector magnetograph is a type of imaging telescope that can estimate the 3 D vector of the magnetic field on a distant body with a resolved line spectrum. Magnetographs are useful for studying the Sun because the surface magnetic field is… …
116Methods of detecting extrasolar planets — Any planet is an extremely faint light source compared to its parent star. In addition to the intrinsic difficulty of detecting such a faint light source, the light from the parent star causes a glare that washes it out. For those reasons, only a …
117Exploration of Jupiter — Jupiter as seen by the space probe Cassini. This is the most detailed global color portrait of Jupiter ever assembled …
118PROMPT Telescopes — PROMPT, an acronym for Panchromatic Robotic Optical Monitoring and Polarimetry Telescopes, is currently being built by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill at Cerro Tololo Inter American Observatory (CTIO) in Chile. PROMPT s primary… …
119Spider CMB — Spider is a balloon borne polarimeter designed to study the polarization of the microwave sky at frequencies from 96 GHz to 300 GHz (wavelengths of 3mm to 1mm) and over angular scales ranging from 30 degrees to 0.5 degrees. The first flight is… …
120Stellar magnetic field — A stellar magnetic field is a magnetic field generated by the motion of conductive plasma inside a main sequence (hydrogen burning) star. This motion is created through convection, which is a form of energy transport involving the physical… …
