Microsymposium 40, abstract 28, 2004 (A4 format) HIGH PURITY GE GAMMA-RAY SPECTROMETER ON JAPANESE LUNAR POLAR ORBITER SELENE. ... GRS consists of three parts; gamma-ray detector (GRD), compressor driver unit (CDU) and gammaray and particle electronics (GPE). ... It is retained at ~80K, by means of a mechanical cryostat. ... The asymmetric shape makes it efficient to veto gamma-rays from the SELENE vehicle and leakage photons from the Ge detector, as well as to avoid charged particles. ...

This was taken from the Gimp Developers mailing list. * width = 768; height = 512 . The PhotoCD format contains several layers of resolution. The smaller ones (listed above) have no real data compression, just a bit of subsampling on the chroma channel, so that readout and display can be very fast even on computers without impressive CPUs. ... This will let you convert the image to ppm format, at which point you can easily mess with it in the gimp. ... Created: August 25, 1996 . ...

Programs to generate color spectra ================================== These programs were developed to produce realistic color spectra from digital data. ... The distribution here contains the original source code for colorspec and solar in C, and a version of solar written in Fortran. ... It will produce a color spectrum of any digital spectrum. ... The 800x50 image solarflux.ppm was generated by colorspec and the file fluxatlas.dat, a reformatted NSO Solar Flux Atlas in the data directory. ...

ENERGETIC PARTICLE EXPERIMENT DOK-2 . ... Due to much higher energy, angular and time resolution, better separation of electrons and ions it is expected that DOK-2 experiment will allow to re-examine in more details energetic particle population and related processes in magnetosphere regions covered by the spacecraft orbit. ...
