Next: Photometry Up: Regions and Source Parameters Previous: *imcnts* - Find counts . This task (developed for use with optical images, but also useful with x-ray data) will quickly compute location, size, ellipticity, and position angle of sources. ... User can generate contour plots of any portion of the image and count rates in slices through the image. The program is advertised as ``quick [optical] photometry''. input file: rp110590_im1.imh . output file: logfile . ... Photometry . ...

... Consequently, it is inappropriate to expand and in ordinary spherical harmonics. The proper expansion expresses both and simultaneously in terms of a particular order of generalized spherical harmonics. ... Generalized spherical harmonics start at , and for each , . ... Generalized spherical harmonics obey a sum rule analogous to a familiar one for ordinary spherical harmonics, but it includes an explicit phase factor which depends on the orientation of the two lines of sight. ...

Returns IRAS band numbers ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns IRAS detector numbers. ( ircc_const.c ) . ... Returns IRAS the number of detectors. ( ircc_const.c ) . ...

Valid parameter groups are currently: meth, cont, data, slv, syn, gen, macro, all define <macro_name> : define a macro . The macro is defined by additional commands on the same and subsequent input lines up to the next "end" statement. For example: define my_fit; slv_teff1 25.0 1.0; solve; end run >macro_name< : run a previously defined macro . ...

It is a matter of common knowledge that in processes of genesis and evolution of many solar phenomena participate magnetic fields of sunspots. ... As a basis for formation of the database we take data on magnetic fields, collected by set of observatories during many years of observations. ... Section "Magnetic field data" contains data of magnetic field observation for separate sunspots, presented in standard text format (ASCII). ... Description of structure of these files is presented here . ...

... This generalization gives rise to the four-dimensional time-frequency-scale-chirprate (TFSC) parameter space. ... We then consider the use of multiple analyzing wavelets/windows, first to generalize Thomson's method of spectral estimation to the TF plane, and then to further generalize this result to the chirplet transform. ... We generalize autocorrelation and cross-correlation by using the signal itself (or another signal) as a ``mother chirplet''. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...
