    [Auszug] In 1982, 3C273 became the first quasar to have its infrared to radio spectrum fully determined5. At that time there had been no evidence of any significant variability of the l,100-|xm (ref. 2) or 2.2-jxm (ref. 3) fluxes over a period of several years. This spectrum is shown in Fig. la, and shall ...

    Notes:
    [Auszug] BL Lac objects are characterized by strong, flat-spectrum radio emission, steep optical/infrared spectra, an absence of (or very weak) emission lines, high polarization and large-amplitude variability on short timescales at all wavelenghts from radio through to X-rays. The redshift (z) ...

    Notes:
    [Auszug] The observations were made with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) on Mauna Kea over the period 10-13 September 1982. Although the conditions were stable during the run, the atmospheric water vapour was insufficiently low to allow 350-fxm observations to be productive. In principle the ...

    [Auszug] We began observing OJ287 in February 1983 as part of a larger programme studying the infrared to millimetre variability properties of a sample of Blazars5'6. Observations have been made at J (1.25 m), — (1.65 m), (2.20 m) and L (3.45 m) on 16 different nights over the period February 1983 to April ...

    Notes:
    [Auszug] Between 2 and 6 February 1983 we measured the spectrum of 3C273 in 10 wavebands between 1.2 ?? and 1.1 mm (J, H, K, L, M, 10, 20, 400, 800, 1,100 ??) with the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) and found that its flux density at all wavelengths had increased. On 26 February, 1.3- and 2.0-mm ...

    [Auszug] A number of indicators have been used to determine the relative importance of the thermal dust and non-thermal synchrotron processes1, including: (1) infrared spectral shape (dusty objects tend to have steeper spectra); (2) infrared spectral features produced by dust grains (including 10 jjim ...

    Notes:
    Abstract We describe the design and construction of bolometric detectors for SCUBA - the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array for the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope in Hawaii. The instrument contains 131 individual detectors, in two arrays, optimized for the submillimetre atmospheric transmission windows. The detectors are cooled by dilution refrigeration to a temperature of 100 mK, so that the receiver performance will be limited by photon noise from the sky and telescope background in all wavebands. A future paper will describe the performance of the detectors with reference to typical data obtained during the laboratory commissioning period.
