Next: Fitting the Blaze Up: Instrument Response Correction Previous: Instrument Response Correction . ... This flux has to be corrected for two effects in order to get absolute fluxes: first, for the echelle blaze effect, and second, for the chromatic response of the instrument. ... The solution adopted in the reduction, using the standard star љ , is to correct for both the blaze effect and the instrument response simultaneously. ...

... We have been upgrading the software front-end to WASP (Wideband Autocorrelating SPectrometer, operating from 800 to 4000 MHz) from Lynx-OS to Real-Time Linux and will discuss Real-Time software aspects. We are using a standard parallel ``PIO'' card to receive data from the spectrometer and standard GPIB interfaces that drive a frequency synthesizer for bandpass calibration. WASP and its front-end computer are fully mobile and can be taken to any suitable radio telescope. ...

Emission Line Diagnostics in a ``No UV Bump'' Quasar PHL909 Smita Mathur, Belinda Wilkes, Martin Elvis and Jonathan McDowell Abstract PHL909 is a quasar with unusually low ultraviolet luminosity (blue bump strength C UV=IR = \Gamma0:20 compared to an average value of 0:4 (McDowell et al. ... The intrinsic continuum of PHL909 ( i.e. as seen by the BELR ) may thus be similar to the `standard' continuum, with a big blue bump, reddened along the line of sight. ...
