O. Gruber B. J. Hargrave J. McAffer P. Rapicault T. Watson From its inception Eclipse was mainly designed to be a tooling platform, but with Version 3.0, Eclipse is now evolving toward a Rich Client Platform (RCP). This change, driven by the open-source community, brought a whole set of new requirements and challenges for the Eclipse platform, such as dynamic plug-in management, services, secur...

Context. Determinations of stellar mass and radius with realistic uncertainties at the level of 1% provide important constraints on models of stellar structure and evolution. Aims. We present a high-precision light curve of the A0 IV star ψ Centauri, from the star tracker on board the  satellite and the Solar Mass Ejection Imager camera on the Coriolis spacecraft. The data show that ψ Cen i...

In this paper, we propose a novel Eclipse query which is more practical than the existing 1-NN query and skyline query. In addition, we present a few properties of Eclipse query and the general idea for computing Eclipse.

We report here on a series of medium resolution spectro-photometric observations of the enigmatic long period eclipsing binary epsilon Aurigae, during its eclipse interval 20092011, using near-infrared spectra obtained with SpeX on IRTF, mid-infrared spectra obtained with BASS on AOES and IRTF, MIRSI on IRTF and MIRAC4 on MMT, along with mid-infrared photometry using MIRSI on IRTF and MIRAC4 on...

With the rapid adoption of Eclipse as both development tool and application platform, teaching Eclipse plug-in development in universities is showing its necessity and advantage, especially on the undergraduate level. This paper introduces our practice in teaching Eclipse plug-in development for undergraduate students in Technische Universität München, Germany. Following a set of carefully desi...

The total solar eclipse that occurred over the Arctic region on 20 March 2015 was seen as a partial eclipse over much of Europe. Observations of this eclipse were used to investigate the high time resolution (1 min) decay and recovery of the Earth's ionospheric E-region above the ionospheric monitoring station in Chilton, UK. At the altitude of this region (100 km), the maximum phase of the ecl...

We report here the results of studies documenting the contamination of a cigarette-appearing smoking article labeled Eclipse with glass fibers, fragments, and particles. Eclipse, a product of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company (RJR), was commercialized in June of 1996. Eclipse is unlike conventional cigarettes in that, like its predecessor Premier, it is designed to heat and not burn tobacco. T...

Entwicklungsmethoden und -werkzeuge für eingebettete Systeme und Enterprise Applikationen nähern sich zusehends an. Insbesondere die modellgetriebene Entwicklung hilft beim Umgang mit zunehmend komplexeren, eingebetteten Softwaresystemen. Zur Automatisierung der Entwicklung ist die Werkzeugunterstützung entscheidend. Die OpenSource-Entwicklungsplattform Eclipse stellt mit dem Eclipse Modeling P...

The Personal Software Process (PSP) is a framework for individual software engineers to improve the quality, predictability and productivity of their work. It consists of a family of seven personal processes that progressively introduce data collection and analysis techniques. This paper presents a PSP tool that is integrated into the Eclipse environment. Currently it includes an Eclipse plug-i...
