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. ...

May 2013 Update on APO Imager Proposal J. Huehnerhoff, W. Ketzeback (APO) In March 2013, a proposal for an imager on the APO 3.5m telescope was presented to the users committee. ... From this feedback it was determined that the most important properties of this imager should include good throughput, good spatial resolution, fast readout, and capability to use narrow band filters (both existing and new). ... The CCD allows many binning modes but 2x2 or 3x3 is expected to be used in normal operation. ...
