... This chapter describes the PEPSYS package for general photometric reductions. The function of photometric reductions is to measure and remove, so far as possible, the instrumental signature from the data. ... The package contains two main parts: a planning program and a reduction program. The planning program interacts with the user to find out the goals of the observing program, and then produces a schedule of the observations needed to meet those goals efficiently. ...

... Program Information . ... By design, the greater part of the observations have been done at one of two ORIENT angles in both of the two observing epochs, but by necessity, in order to accommodate the observations within the same general time frame and to also allow other GO observations to schedule, a smaller number of observations were done at a second ORIENT angle since that allowed for scheduling over a larger number of days within the larger UDF period. ... 9978 . ... 9979 . ... 9980 . ... 9981 ...

... VLBI Schedule . ... Two different antenna are used for observing at ASKAP - AK07 has an L-band feed permanently installed while AK32 has an X-band feed installed. ... There are 3 main processes run for ASKAP observing. askap_drv is the main telescope control. It itself consists of a terminal based control process and a GUI. askap_drv must be running. VLBI scheduling is run from a process called "vlbi_drv", while the actual recording is via a command line process called px14_record. ...

Spacecraft ephemeris , or more generally, location of an observer, given as a function of time. ... The ephemeris data for spacecraft and target bodies are normally combined in a single file called the SPICE SPK file. ... Attitude data is contained in the SPICE CK file. ... Several miscellaneous kernel files - spacecraft clock (SPICE SCLK file) and leapseconds (SPICE LSK file) - are also part of SPICE; these are used in converting time tags between various time measurement systems. ...

... The general scientific activity of the stuff is not a static phenomena, but mainly it lies in the direction, reflected in the famouse book by Ya.B.Zeldovich and I.D.Novikov "Relativistic Astrophysics". ... They can be separated into three main branches: "discology" (prof. N.I.Shakura, N. Ketsaris and grad.student G.V.

... omdetect (omdetect-5.14.2) [?? Meta Index / Home Page / Algorithm Omdetect will find sources on an image using both a peak-finding and connected-pixel algorithm. The former will mainly detect ``point'' sources and the latter ``extended'' sources. The peak-finding algorithm is used first to try to locate all point sources, in order of decreasing brightness. This algorithm mainly overcomes problems with modular-8 patterns around bright sources and scattered light features. ...
