XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Meta Index / Home Page The position of a source on the image ( XPOS and YPOS ) are referred to a coordinate origin in which the pixel at the far-left and bottom of the image has coordinates 1.0, 1.0. The coordinates are computed using the first-order moments of the intensity profile, and the algorithm is similar to that used in the sextractor program (please see the sextractor manual for a detailed discussion).

... Coordinate system . It is necessary to specify the coordinate system for the drilling of plug-plates so that the drilling file (currently named plPlugMap), plate drilling, cartridge, rotator wrap and the rotator itself are compatible. ... The TCC rotator angle (object system) is defined to be 0 degrees for this orientation. ... Thus, the rotator angle gives the conventional astronomical position angle on the sky of the y axis (although Russell won't acknowledge this necessarily). ...

The aim of this section of the course is to familiarise you with celestial Coordinates. ... I found some good notes explaining the celestial coordinate system on the web: . ... 1st Dec: 04hr, 00min In addition to the equatorial coordinates described in the notes above, astronomers also use (at least) two other coordinate systes: galactic coordinates and ecliptic coordinates. ... Ecliptic coordinates use the ecliptic (the Earth's path around the sun) as the equator, and are used for solar system work. ...

... Previous: The ACSIS Data Reduction System . ... The AST library supports the attachment of astrometric calibrations to astronomical datasets, the processing of this information, and generation of associated graphical output. ... In this paper we outline some more recent developments and applications, which include a set of efficient data re-gridding algorithms for curvilinear coordinate systems, improved FITS support, user-defined coordinate transformations, and pin-cushion/barrel distortion. ...

This is not as trivial a question as one might think, since it is not enough to know the location with respect to the Earth and/or the Sun in some arbitrary coordinate system. One may have to consider things like differences between the solar equatorial plane and the Earth's orbital plane, the changing direction of Earth's spin axis during the year, and the magnetic dipole orientation. ... Geocentric solar ecliptic . ...

... AstroCC is a coordinate conversion utility for astronomy. It accepts an object designation or the coordinates of an object and calculates coordinates in alternative systems, and at different dates, times, and locations. It also provides lunar and bright planet coordinates to aid in planning observations. ... BJD values may also be retrieved from http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/time/utc2bjd.html which is based on Eastman et al. ... Coordinate data are obtained from SIMBAD. ...

... the radiative transfer equation (RTE) for the randomly-irregular magnetized plasma has been derived on the base of general grounds of the multiple scattering theory . ... Solutions of several absolute tasks of the scattering theory have been obtained (on the optical depth of the ionospheric plasma layer, on the value of radio wave anomalous attenuation, on anomalous refraction, on the backscattered signal intensity for the source being placed within a plasma layer). ...

Drift scan are are normally done in coordinates of date (current coordinates). ... The telescope then remains fixed as the sky drifts by. ... Since the az, za is remaining fixed, the drift is being done in current not J2000 coordinates. ... To see how large this change was, a drift scan in J2000 coordinates (15 asecs/sidereal sec epoch J2000) was computed and then the relative motion of the az, za coordinates were plotted. For each day computed: . ... 2005: .5 amin/hour . 2006: .6 amin/hour . ...
