... Data It is now clear that fuzzballs are actually galaxies. ... Using the automatic telescope, we measured the redshifts and brightnesses of a large number of fuzzballs in all regions of the sky. ... Correlation between brightness and redshift Redshifts and Brightnesses 0.005 0.004 0.003 0.002 0.001 0 -0.001 0 -0.002 -0.003 -0.004 -0.005 Redshift of Fuzzball 500 1000 1500 2000 Brightness of Fuzzball The brightnesses and redshifts of all the fuzzballs measured are shown in this graph. ...

... This paper presents an overview of the CENTERFIT image centering algorithm library currently under development in the IRAF system. ... The centering algorithms employed by these applications must satisfy a wide range of efficiency and accuracy requirements, and function robustly on data sets spanning a broad wavelength, resolution, and signal-to-noise regime. This paper presents an overview of CENTERFIT, a library of 1-D and 2-D centering algorithms currently under development in the IRAF system. ...

This article describes the wavelength and throughput calibration of the grisms and discusses the photometric performance of the NICMOS grism mode. ... The resolution of the first order spectra on all grisms is about 200 per pixel. ... Spectra were extracted for bright objects with both first and second order spectra on single grism images. ...

... NASA research confirms it's a small world, after all . Using space measurement tools and a new data calculation technique, scientists detected no statistically significant expansion of the solid Earth. ... A NASA-led research team has confirmed what Walt Disney told us all along: Earth really is a small world, after all. ... That was the prevailing belief until scientists developed the theory of plate tectonics, which explained the large-scale motions of Earthт??s lithosphere, or outermost shell. ...
