... Scheming arXiv:astro-ph abstracts almost an year never offered me an occasion that the fit of the Poisson distribution is tested in different ways, instead it is taken for granted by plugging data and (source) model into a (modified) ? ... Abstract: goodness-of-fit tests based on the Cramer-von Mises statistics are given for the Poisson distribution. ... 2 statistic for testing the goodness of fit in astronomy and this D statistics is considered as a two sided test approximately distributed as a ? ...

... The question which method of the detection of features in the test statistic is the most sensitive, is of considerable importance for all practical TSA applications. ... A power of the test statistic is the probability that is accepted for the given Y : . ... Then, all statistics based on models with 3 parameters have similar values of the test power: power spectrum, Scargle statistics, fit of a sinusoid, AOV(3) statistic and PDM(3) statistic with corrected probability distribution. ...

Proceedings of the Particle Physics and Early Universe Conference (PPEUC). For this paper: postscript PPEUC CMB index 1 Introduction .. ... A new statistic is discussed, designed to detect isolated coherent step-like discontinuities produced by cosmic strings present at late times. ... The statistical variable considered is the Sample Mean Difference (SMD) between large neighbouring sectors of CMB maps, separated by straight lines in two dimensional maps and points in one dimensional maps. ...

Authors: Yu.G. Shevelev , V.A. Marsakov , . ... We have constructed and investigated properties of metallicity function of disk stars with different ages, proceeding from the statistically restored real altitude distributions of stars at the solar galactocentric distance. It is shown that the metallicity distribution of stars in each age range is not of Gaussian form, but it may be considered as a superposition of two normal distributions centered at -0.2 and 0.0 dex. ...

... CB3 0HA, U.K. The UCDs (Unified Content Descriptors) were first developed in the ESO/CDS data mining project, to describe precisely the contents of the individual fields (columns) of tables available from a data center. ... We present different applications of UCDs: selection of catalogues, based on their content; identification of catalogues having similar fields; automated data conversion allowing direct comparison of data in cross-identifications. ... a definition of the corresponding UCD; . ...

The velocity and mass distribution of clusters of galaxies from the CNOC1 cluster redshift survey . ... The resulting sample is ideally suited for an analysis of the internal velocity and mass distribution of clusters. Previous analyses of this dataset used the Jeans equation to model the projected velocity dispersion profile. However, the results of such an analysis always yield a strong degeneracy between the mass density profile and the velocity dispersion anisotropy profile. ...

We find that FSRQ have a distribution of energy spectral indices ranging between 0 and 3 with a mean value alpha_x ~ 1. ... Figure 1 (13kb) . ...

... Evolution of the coalescence rate of double neutron stars (NS) and neutron star - black hole (BH) binaries are computed for model galaxies with different star formation rates. Assuming gamma-ray bursts (GRB) to originate from NS+NS or NS+BH merging in distant galaxies, theoretical - distributions for gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are calculated for the first time taking the computed merging rates into account. ... Effect of sources evolution on - distribution and -test. ...

... Comparative study of Tl-2201 single crystals with different temperatures of superconducting transition by means of specific heat method. Abstract: . The comparison studies of the specific heat of Tl-2201 single crystals with the different oxygen concentration have led to the conclusion that the doping by oxygen, resulting in lowering of T c and increasing of number of paramagnetic centers, leads to diminishing of antiferromagnetic correlations contribution to the specific heat. ...

739 observed NEAs and new 2-4 m survey statistics within the EURONEAR network . ... Additionally we observed 40 survey fields spanning three nights covering 11 square degrees near opposition, using the Wide Field Camera on the 2.5 m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), resulting in 104 discovered main belt asteroids (MBAs) and another 626 unknown one-night objects. ... We identify Near Earth Object (NEO) candidates among the unknown (single night) objects using three selection criteria. ...

... The 7 and 15 um observations of the Galaxy obtained by the ISOGAL program offer an unique possibility to investigate and separate the different populations of stars in the Galactic Plane, in particular to study the population of low flux density YSOs which could not be detected with IRAS. ... The criteria are applied to five ISOGAL fields centered at l~+45 deg and b~0 deg, covering a total area of 0.504 deg$^2$. ...
