The parameters of powspec are computed from the parameters of efftplot , such that for each energy band, only one time-averaged PDS is computed. Then for each energy band, efftplot reads the PDS into the FITS file produced by powspec , and plots it with the PGPLOT library. ... 1 : PDS is normalized such that the (white) noise level expected corresponds to a power value of 2. ... 2 : as =2, but the expected white noise level is subtracted. ...

DISCLAIMER: The larger the aperture, the more light a telescope will gather and the fainter the object you can see. Here is a range of magnitudes you might expect to see. Given excellent sky conditions and good optics, a well trained eye can sometimes add up to 0.8 magnitude to these values. Limiting Magnitude depends on much more than the instruments aperture. ... One formula is for aperture in inches the other is for aperture in millimeters. ... Aperture (inches) . ... 15.2 . ...

... We compare our results with the GRANAT X-ray observations of the Galactic center (Churazov et al. ... It is instructive to compare our results for the Galactic center starburst with what might be expected for a continuous star formation, with the average rate characteristic for the whole Galaxy. For this continuous star formation model, we would expect to observe in the region of around the Galactic center about 10% of the total number of X-ray sources in the Galaxy. ...

... Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. ... We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. It has been shown that there are several periodic signals with close amplitude around the expected FICN period without any prevailing one that can be reliably associated with the FICN. ... DATA ANALYSIS We analyzed several CPO series obtained in IVS analysis centers by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. ...
