... PPTA timeline . ... List of projects . ... RedGW . ... One of the main goals of pulsar timing array projects is to limit the existence of a background of gravitational waves (GWs). Jenet et al. (2006) developed a method to determine such a limit if (and only if) the pulsar timing residuals were statistically white. In the paper we used data from six pulsars from the PPTA project to obtain a limit. The remaining pulsars were rejected because their timing residuals were not white. ...

Next: The FMAPE Algorithm Up: HST Image Restoration with Previous: Introduction . ... We shall work with the following model: an object emits light with intensity given by a spatial distribution . The light is focused by the optical system over a detector array consisting of individual discrete and independent detectors. ... We assume that the detection process is Poisson distributed. ... The imaging equation corresponding to this model is: . Equation ( 1 ) in discrete form becomes: . ...

... Using the central limit theorem, the total noise can be approximated by a Gaussian or normal distribution which has the frequency function : . ... where is the mean intensity of the source. ... In the statistical analysis of the probability distribution of data several estimators based on moments are used. ... For a normal distribution, these moments are and while for a Poisson distribution are and . Besides these moments other estimators are used to describe a distribution e.g. median and mode . ...

... The distribution of galactic RCB stars is controversial. Several authors have argued that they belong to a thick galactic disk, and are thus old Population I stars. However, they may alternatively belong to the even older galactic bulge (Population II). ... In either case, the populations are sufficiently old that RCB stars must have relatively low masses ( ). ... These are the only RCB stars for which a distance is known and hence for which an absolute magnitude can be deduced. ...

... In the case of a single pixel of a single image, is the Poisson distribution about the expectation value of the counts due to background, . As described in section 3.2 , we say there is a source present in this pixel if is larger than a cutoff value . ... This value of , minus the expectation due to background , is defined here as the detection sensitivity. Note that this does not mean that a source with an expectation value of counts which is greater than will always be detected. ...

To construct two-dimension distribution of minor planets user should specify elements/ parameters/ function that will be plotted as abscissas and ordinates. In three-dimension case one should add to them the element plotted on Z axis. ... Though you may choose elements plotted along different axes at will, often there is good reason to plot such elements as a, n, or n" along X axis (two-dimension distributions) and to plot them along Y axis in three-dimension case. ...

... The distribution of redshifts among the DXRBS FSRQs identified so far (Figure 3) is quite similar to that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. ... A more thorough comparison will have to await completion of our survey and the convolution of the redshift distribution with the WGACAT sky coverage. As has already been mentioned by Hook et al. (1996), selecting flat-spectrum sources is an efficient way of finding high-redshift, radio-loud quasars. ...

The project of the informational system creation on the problem of evolution of radio galaxies, as a part of the "Big Trio" project aimed on studing of distant radio galaxies, is designed. This system allows a user to operate with simulated curves of spectral energy distributions (SED) to estimate ages and redshifts by photometry data. Authors use SEDs of several models for different types of galaxies. ... The HTTP and e-mail access is organized to this system. ...

... 1) Studying distributions of stars of different ages in irregular and spiral galaxies we found for each galaxy a clear correlation between the age of stars and the spatial size of the subsystems of stars of this age. ... We made a stellar photometry of eight NGC 1313 fields and of its dwarf companion AM 0319-662 and studied the visible distribution of stars of different ages and of metallicity in the galaxy. ...

... One of the most widely used tools of Fourier analysis is the Parseval theorem. It enables the experimentalist to view how the `energy' in the signal is distributed among frequencies. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms have made power spectra one of the obvious diagnostics tools during data acquisition, and energy maps are a versatile alternative. ... The result is an energy map (Fig. 9), showing the distribution of energy corresponding to the wavelet map (Fig. ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... The Starlink Software is a collection of astronomical packages and utilities comprising over 120 separate components. When built, the system needs between 500 and 650 MB disk space (without source) making it ideal for distribution on CD-ROM.
