... The first of the equations defines the position of the spectral orders, m , in the raw image, while the second equation gives, for each order, the dispersion relation in one dimension. ... where the coefficients are computed using least squares techniques on a grid , i.e. sample number and line number of points located within the spectral orders of the image. These points in the grid are found automatically by an order--following algorithm, normally using the FLAT or STD image. ...

In the early 1980s, our understanding of binary star evolution љ based on the pioneer work by Paczynski (1971)[ 150 ], Tutukov and Yungelson (1973)[ 195 ], van den Heuvel and Heise (1972)[ 201 ], allowed us to construct a general evolutionary scenario љ which successfully explained the genesis of well-studied normal stars and offered potential explanation for new X-ray sources discovered in space experiments. ...

This diagram illustrates a floating image that overlaps the borders of two paragraphs in normal flow: the paragraph borders are clipped by the non-transparent parts of the image. ... A left-floating image causes the final three lines of the upper paragraph to float along its right side. It causes the first three lines of the following paragraph to do the same, and the remainder of that paragraph flows normally. The paragraph borders shine through the margin area of the image box. ...

These observations are aimed at fully charactering FORS1 photometric system (UBVRI zero-points, color-terms and extinction coefficients) for the Tektronix 2048x2048 pixel CCD (24µm px) .

The following lines are used in this file: . ... The DEFS_LOCAL line defines global flags that apply to all machines. Ordinarily, the only flags included are the -DDEBUG , which includes the debugging code, and -DREFCLOCK , which includes basic reference clock support. ... D_INCLUDE_BSD_SOURCE . ...

... Previous: A Posteriori Guidance for Astronomical Images . ... We present an original algorithm for the recognition of anomalous events in a CCD frame (i.e., cosmic hits, bad pixels etc.) The algorithm is able to distinguish between these events and real features by comparing the standard deviation and the kurtosis of a synthetic PSF, whose width is given by the user, and the corresponding values in a running window, whose size is chosen by the user, in the actual frame. ...

ASTRONOMY DO LIRGs FOLLOW THE TULLY-FISHER RELATION? Veronica M. Torres, Adriana J. ColСn; Colegio San Felipe, Arecibo, Puerto Rico Research Mentor: Dr. Tapasi Ghosh, Arecibo Observatory, Arecibo, Puerto Rico The purpose of this research was to study the LIRGs (Luminous Infrared Galaxies) and see if they follow the Tully-Fisher relation. ... The Tully-Fisher relation states that the bigger the galaxy is, the faster it rotates. ... Also, the bigger the galaxy, the more is its luminosity. ...

Although it is true that neutron stars have, for the most part, consumed all their internal thermonuclear fuel, they tap into other energy sources to produce light.

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...
