Our results are based on ~3250 numerical integrations ensembles randomly constructed planetary systems, each lasting 100 Myr. find for a remarkably wide range conditions distributions dynamically active systems relax towards common final equilibrium distribution, well described by fitting formula dn ~ e exp[-1/2...
We present a precise photometric calibration of the first 1.5 years science imaging from Pan-STARRS1 survey (PS1), an ongoing optical entire sky north declination −30° in five bands. Building on techniques employed by Padmanabhan et al. Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we use repeat PS1 observations stars to perform relative each its bands, simultaneously solving for system throughput, atmospheric transparency, and large-scale detector flat field. Both internal consistency tests comparison...

Millisecond duration bright radio pulses at 1.4-GHz with high dispersion measures (DM) were reported by Lorimer et al., Keane and Thornton al. Their all-sky rate is $\approx 10^4$/day above $\sim$1 Jy. Related events are "Perytons" -- similar pulsed, dispersed sources, but most certainly local. Suggested models of fast bursts (FRBs) can originate in the Earth's atmosphere, stellar coronae, other galaxies, even cosmological distances. Using physically motivated assumptions combined observed...
