The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

... Up: Data Analysis Applications . ... Our main goals are: 1) to take advantage of the full capabilities of the AXAF, we intend to provide a more sophisticated modeling capability (i.e., models that are f ( x , y , E , t ), models to simulate the response of AXAF instruments, and models that enable ``joint-mode'' fitting, i.e., combined spatial-spectral or spectral-temporal fitting); and 2) to provide users with a wide variety of models, optimization methods, and fit statistics. ... Multiple data sets...

Next: Source Detections Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Diffuse Model . Because of the low photon detection rate and the extent of the PSF, statistical techniques are required to analyze EGRET data. Maximum likelihood (Mattox et al. 1995a) is used to estimate point source flux densities, source locations, and background model parameters. ... is the Poisson probability of observing counts in pixel ij when the number of counts predicted by the model is . ...

A new deblurring algorithm has been developed involving both iteration and recursion and that is linear, flux-conserving, noise resistant, and faster to converge than extant iterative deblurring methods. Mathematical analysis shows that the recursive component of the algorithm provides the accelerated convergence. ... Iterative Deconvolution . ...

... Instead of putting code in each application you write to control each device, you share the code between applications. ... Within the kernel, there are a set of functions, registered with the filesystem, which are called to handle requests to do I/O on ``device special files,'' which are those which represent devices. ... This chapter explains how to write any type of Linux device driver that you might need to, including character, block, SCSI, and network drivers. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...
