چکیده

In this paper, the Spinors of the physical 3-D Euclidean spaces of Geometric Algebras over a finite dimensional vector space are defined. Action of Spinors on Euclidean spaces is discussed. The technique for the calculation of ephemeris using Spinors is illustrated. In this process sequences of Spinors in their half angle form as well as their matrix form are used and compared. It is shown that when large number of rotations is involved, Spinor matrix methods are advantageous over the Spinor half angle method.

Orbital and spin variability of the Intermediate Polar BG CMi

Results of a CCD study of the variability of the cataclysmic variable BG CMi obtained at the Korean 1.8m telescope in 2002-2005 are presented. The ”multi-comparison star” method had been applied for better accuracy estimates. The linear ephemeris based on 19 mean maxima for 2002–2005 is HJD 2453105.31448(6) + 0.01057257716(198)(E − 764707). The period differs from that predicted by the quadrati...

Robust Real - Time Wide - Area

The present invention provides a method and a device for providing superior differential GPS positioning data. The system includes a group of GPS receiving ground stations covering a wide area of the Earth’s surface. Unlike other differential GPS systems wherein the known position of each ground station is used to geometrically compute an ephemeris for each GPS satellite, the present system uti...

An improved orbital ephemeris for Cygnus X - 1

By accumulating all available radial velocity data and combining it with our own spectroscopy we present a new and improved ephemeris for Cygnus X-1 (V1357 Cygni/HDE226868). We initially calculate an orbital period of 5.599847 ± 0.000018 days and then, by including the more recent radial velocities of LaSala et al. (1998) and Sowers et al. (1998) we refine this to 5.599829 ± 0.000016 days. Usin...

We have analyzed nearly eight years of MACHO optical photometry of the supersoft X-ray binary RX J0513.9−6951 and derived a revised orbital period and ephemeris. Previously published velocities are reinterpreted using the new ephemeris. We show that the spectroscopic characteristics of the system depend strongly on whether the system is in a high or low optical state. We also discuss the proper...

A Real-Time Robust Method to Detect BeiDou GEO/IGSO Orbital Maneuvers

The frequent maneuvering of BeiDou Geostationary Orbit (GEO) and Inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (IGSO) satellites affects the availability of real-time orbit, and decreases the accuracy and performance of positioning, navigation and time (PNT) services. BeiDou satellite maneuver information cannot be obtained by common users. BeiDou broadcast ephemeris is the only indicator of the health status ...
