BACKGROUND . ... Electron bombarded silicon (EBS) gain makes the CCD interesting for keV electron detection. Ionizing particles absorbed in silicon create electron-hole pairs at the average rate of one per 3.64 eV incident energy. ... The variance in the number of electron-hole pairs created is given by the Fano factor for silicon (.1-.2) times the number of pairs created. When we use a CCD as a detector of ionizing particles, we would like to collect all of the electrons created. ...

The detection by EGRET of 40 active galactic nuclei in high energy gamma rays ahs sparked interest in high energy extragalactic gamma ray astronomy. ... In this thesis I investigate the infrared background, the interactions by which it absorbs gamma rays, and I develop a program that uses monte carlo techniques, as well as suitable approximations to model the effect of these interactions on gamma ray spectra, and discuss the implications for high energy gamma ray astronomy. | ...

... What are the fluxes of the stars? ... Volume sampled is no longer 4/3 pi r cubed due to curved space-time Want to derive population properties brightness, size, etc - as function of distance (therefore, cosmic time) But - biases in sample Biases NUMBER OF STARS VS MASS Eddington Bias: in astronomy, there are always more little faint things than big bright things. ... Suppose there are 10 stars of mass 0.5 and 100 stars of mass 0.4, and you have a 20 percent error on measuring the mass. ...

OptInt PmWiki : Pm Wiki / Wiki Style Examples . Wiki styles | ... PmWiki uses WikiStyles for styling text with color and other attributes. PmWiki 2.0 introduced the ability to control the styling further and to even place styles on blocks. ... In addition, an author can define a style "shortcut" by using the define= property. For example, to define a style of %red% , one can use: . define=mystyle color=red% Here is some %mystyle% red text created using a style shortcut. ...

... omdetect (omdetect-5.14.2) [?? ... The parameter nsigma (default value=2 controls the minimum detection threshold, ie all pixels with a value greater than or equal to background value + nsigma background noise will be considered to be part of a possible source. ... The parameter minsignificance (default value=2) controls what sources are kept in the source-list- all detected sources with a computed significance less than or equal to minsignificance are discarded. ...

Automatic Detection of NEOs in CCD Frames . ... CCD frames obtained with modern telescopes with robotic operation allow carrying out standard observation programs for detection of peculiar objects on stellar backgrounds, as is the case of Near Earth Objects (NEOs). ... In this paper, we present original algorithms for automatically detecting dim NEO images in telescope frames, considering both sidereal and differential tracking [2]. ...

... Your main research interests concern dust. ... One of your main pleasures in life is going to conferences, and asking the question `have you considered dust obscuration?' after every talk by an optical astronomer, and watching their embarrassed evasions. ... Just look at any starburst galaxy: they are the most luminous objects in the local universe, but they are so dusty that the optical astronomers never even noticed them until the infra-red astronomers pointed them out! ...

Ionized Gas in high-redshift galaxy halos . ... An alternative way to detect such galaxies is to analyze the spectra of luminous background objects (quasars and gamma-ray bursts), and look for the tell-tale absorption lines that arise due to foreground galaxies lying along the line-of-sight. ... Aside from their interest as the endpoints of massive star evolution, GRBs are ideal background sources for absorption-line spectroscopy, thanks to their enormous luminosities and smooth power-law continua. ...

Frosted Leaf Orion . ... Credit Copyright: Masahiro Miyasaka Explanation: Sometimes, you can put some night sky in your art. Captured above Japan earlier this month, a picturesque night sky was photographed behind a picturesque frosted leaf. ... The particular background sky on this 48-second wide angle exposure , however, might appear quite interesting and familiar. ... Below and to the right of the meteor appears a longer and brighter streak of an airplane. ... NASA Official: Jay Norris. ...
