Pickering's Triangle (or Pickering's Triangular Wisp), brightest at the north central edge of the loop, but visible in photographs continuing toward the central area of the loop. NGC 6974 and NGC 6979 are luminous knots in a fainter patch of nebulosity on the northern rim between NGC 6992 and Pickering's Triangle.
The visual portion of the Cygnus Loop is known as the Veil Nebula, also called the Cirrus Nebula or the Filamentary Nebula. Several components have separate names and identifiers, [2] [3] including the "Western Veil" or "Witch's Broom", the "Eastern Veil", and Pickering's Triangle.

An example of light exhibiting sub-Poissonian statistics is squeezed light. Recently researchers have shown that sub-Poissonian light can be induced in a quantum dot exhibiting resonance fluorescence. [5] A technique used to measure the sub-Poissonian structure of light is a homodyne intensity correlation scheme. [6]
The following table compares general and technical information for a selection of common and uncommon Texas Instruments graphing calculators. Many of the calculators in this list have region-specific models that are not individually listed here, such as the TI-84 Plus CE-T, a TI-84 Plus CE designed for non-French European markets.
In March, a mother was horrified to find a pedophile symbol on a toy she bought for her daughter. Although the symbol was not intentionally placed on the toy by the company who manufactured the ...
It is ubiquitous in nature and statistics due to the central limit theorem: every variable that can be modelled as a sum of many small independent, identically distributed variables with finite mean and variance is approximately normal. The normal-exponential-gamma distribution; The normal-inverse Gaussian distribution
The Pickering scale is a scale of rating astronomical seeing, the blurring of images caused by atmospheric turbulence. [1] [2] The scale was developed by William H. Pickering (1858–1938) of Harvard College Observatory, using a 5" (13 cm) refractor. [3] [4] Seeing of 1 to 3 is considered very poor, 4 to 5 is poor, 6 to 7 is good, and 8 to 10 ...
