... The plug-plates of SDSS project are responsible for locating the optical-fiber plugs spatially and for defining the plug tilt with respect to the surface of best focus. ... Previous attempts to match the SDSS plug-plates to the surface of best focus were conducted using only the bending fixture. The analyses performed indicated that by adding a central constraint to the plug-plate deformation process, the plates could be made to match the surface of best focus within an acceptable range of error. ...

... To be read in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , -Version 4.0. ... 1 The second study found evidence that CTE loss for faint stars has increased with time (Whitmore, 1998). The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

Next: CONCLUSION Up: CHIRPLET TRANSFORM SUBSPACES Previous: Nondilational Chirplet Transform . Suppose we choose a windowed sinusoidal FM signal for our mother chirplet. Such a signal has a frequency that periodically rises and falls (much like the vibrato of musical instruments or the wail of a police siren). ... Figure 14 . ... Using the warbling mother chirplet, we also computed the ``dilation-dilation'' ( ) plane of the chirplet transform (Fig. 16 ) for the pendulum data. ...

... A detector map is used to provide a grid of positions over which to calculate and flux weight the ARF. The default detector map is 'flat' which has a weighting of 1.0 for each detector map pixel and is rectangular having sides which just encompass the region specified in the DSS. Only detector map pixels falling within the source region are included in the ARF calculation, e.g. for a circular source box, the pixels in the corners of the detector map will be ignored. ... flat : . ...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...

... 2005 October 17 . Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Localized . ... Explanation: What causes gamma-ray bursts? ... Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been localized , over the past few years, to blue regions in the universe rich in star formation. ... Over the past few months, short duration GRBs have finally been localized and found to occur in different types of regions -- not only blue regions rich in star formation. ... About APOD | ...

... Because of the low conductivity, the magnetic coupling is weak and depends critically on density, temperature, ionisation rate and charged species. ... Implications When the Hall regime dominates near the midplane and ambipolar diffusion is dominant closer to the surface, a thicker layer of the disc is unstable to MRI perturbations and modes grow faster than under the ambipolar diffusion approximation. ... Right panel: For weak coupling, Hall limit perturbations grow until vA/cs ~ 2.9. ...

... A well known problem with EOP prediction is that a prediction strategy proved to be the best for some testing period and prediction length may not remain as such for other period of time. In this paper we consider possible strategies to combine EOP predictions made using different analysis techniques to obtain a final prediction with the best accuracy corresponding to the least prediction error between input predictions. ... C2 ­ best previous prediction for given length. ...

... In combining the data, it is assumed that the low resolution image better represents the short spacing data, whereas the high resolution best represents the fine structure. ... Key: out The output image. ... Key: factor The flux calibration factor. ... In practise, the calibration may not be perfect, and an extra calibration factor will be required to align the flux scales. "factor" gives the factor to scale the low resolution image to put it on the same flux scale as the high resolution image. ...

A visual impression of the data used in the study. The relevant extra-galactic maps are represented as shells of increasing distance from Earth from left to right. ... After this are six shells containing maps of the millions of distant galaxies used in the study. These maps are produced using different telescopes in different wavelengths and are color-coded to show denser clumps of galaxies as red and less dense regions as blue. There are holes in the maps due to data quality cuts. ...
