An asteroid space ship being chased by an enemy missile goes through the ergosphere of a rotating black hole, taking energy out and making the chasing missile fall in the event horizon. ... In the far future, a virtual human is dropped into a black hole and makes an interesting discovery about space and time. ...

Catalogs of sources found in the HDF-S images can be obtained from this page. ... version 1 . ... HDF-N SExtractor catalog . ... Objects that were considered to be "over merged" in the first catalog were deleted from that catalog and the entries for their various subcomponents were taken from a catalog with a higher detection threshold. ... The number of objects added and deleted for the different catalogs were WFPC2: 24 deleted, 31 added; STIS: 26 deleted, 8 added; and NICMOS: 14 deleted, 29 added. ...

... Source definition list: a dataset containing the SRCLIST table, and to which the region extensions will be added. evlist . ... The dispersion-axis spacing of vertices for image regions and the spatial background region, specified as the number of vertices across a node. ... Downward size of image regions, specified by the percentage of the cross-dispersion PSF covered between the source cross-dispersion off-axis angle and the lower of each pair of vertices with the same dispersion coordinate. ...

... This section will deal with obtaining photons within specified regions of an image. Available regions are: Annulus Box Circle Ellipse Field -- entire field Irregular region based on intensity of map... i.e. region defined by contour levels. ... The imcnts task in the xray-spatial package sums the source and background counts in specified regions, and subtracts one from the other properly normalized. ... imcnts* - Find counts in an extended region, after removing an embedded point source . ...

... A modern driver for a device will find out the bus-resource configuration without you having to tell it anything. ... In the worst case you must hard-code the bus-resources into the kernel (or a module) and recompile. In the middle are cases such as where you run a program to give the bus-resource info to the driver or put the info in a configuration file. ... You give such bus-resources as a parameter to the kernel or to a loadable module. ... Setserial is often run from a start-up file. ...
