Data Reduction and Error Analysis for Accurate Single Crystal Diffraction Intensities

TL;DR: In this article, a least squares analysis of peak profile widths is used to fit intersecting straight lines to the background profile near the peak limits, and a time-dependent scaling according to standard reference reflection intensities is based on least squares fitted scaling polynomials and may be weighted by anisotropic, intensity-dependent or scatteringangle-dependent factors.

Optical Observations of GRO J1655?40 in Quiescence. I. A Precise Mass for the Black Hole Primary

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported photometric and spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary GRO J1655-40 in complete quiescence, which yielded an inclination of i = 6950? 008 and a mass ratio of Q = M1/M2 = 2.34? 0.08.

The bio-optical state of ocean waters and remote sensing 1

TL;DR: The diffilse attenuation cocfficicnt for irradiance, KT, is a physical measure of the bio-optical state of ocean waters, which can be remotely sensed by spacecraft sensors.

Updated Galileo probe mass spectrometer measurements of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur on Jupiter

TL;DR: Folkner et al. as discussed by the authors measured the mixing ratios of H2O, H2S, and NH3 in the deep well-mixed atmosphere of Jupiter and showed that the mixing ratio of NH3 increased with depth, finally reaching we ll-fixed equilibration levels at pressures far greater than the lifting condensation levels.
