...FFT.
the FFT is written in C for efficiency and dynamically linked into Java at run time

...year.
We are grateful to Justin Shuttleworth who implemented the original design of Grid as the ideas presented in this version provided a strong foundation for the current design of Grid's graphical user interface

...Web.,
We do not discount the possibility of a version of Grid being made commercially available but none-the-less we will always provide a free version for download.

...(CIA).

ISO is an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA member states (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.

...state.
A state is the atomic unit of CAM activities. An ISO pointing and all CAM parameters are fixed within a state.

...NEWSTAR
It stands for Nobeyama Engineering Workstation Systematic Tool for Astronomical Reduction. It should not be confused with NFRA's software known by the same acronym.

...products.
A complete description of the Hipparcos and Tycho Mission and data reduction may be found in (Perryman 1989), some more detailed papers on Tycho and Hipparcos in two series of papers from various authors in (A&A 258, 1992 and A&A 304, 1995)

...TYC
The TYC contains a field telling the user whether there are single observations available in TEPA/A or TEPA/B

...routines.
one of these tools is using a description file for the columns of a catalogue in order to produce an IDL-interface routine

...keywords,
Keyword searching is currently not available from the main abstract service search page because of the lack of a uniform and consistent keywording system for the current references.

...HET
The HET is operated by McDonald Observatory on behalf of the University of Texas at Austin, the Pennsylvania State University, Stanford University, Ludwig-Maximilians Universitat München, and Georg-August Universitat Göttingen.

...tool
EWGIE, developed by Kevin Hughes at kevinh@commerce.net. (http://www.eit.com/ewgie/)

...model
note the addition of the term 858#858 to the classical formula, in order to allow for positive and negative differential distortions with respect to the mean radial distance 859#859 where the equivalent focal length is nominal (i.e., 364mm)

...pixel
The bottom left corner pixel has coordinates (0,0)

...RoadRunner
RoadRunner was named after a bird of that species who for a time lived near the 1.5 meter and was always a source of inspiration before a night's observing to one of the authors.
