Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in HII regions: correlation with metallicity . ... We have perfomed the aperture photometry of HII regions using infrared images from telescopes Spitzer and Herschel at passbands 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, 24, 70 and 160 m. Emission of PAHs are observed at passbands 3.6 - 8.0 m, 24 m is emission likely of hot small particles and finally large particles are responsible for emission at 70 and 160 m. We determine abundances of PAHs using model of Draine Li (2007) . ...

... This makes spatial event selection very hard of even impossible in cases where the object is too faint to clearly stand out against the X-ray background. movecalc takes an event table with aspect corrected X / Y coordinate columns (as generated by task attcalc ) and adds two new columns X_MOV / Y_MOV (different names can be specified via parameters xmovcol / ymovcol ) containing the corresponding coordinates in a reference frame that is centered on the moving object at all times. ...
