... 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 ? ...

... OOF software . ... Memos . ... Raw data . ... We present a Bayesian approach to calculating the coefficients that convert the outputs of ALMA 183 GHz water-vapour radiometers into estimates of path fluctuations that can be used to correct the observed interferometric visibilities. ... Please note that the files"COPYING" in each of the distribution packages have GPL listed but it is in fact LGPL which applies. ... This is the raw data from the SMA used in the analysis shown in Section 4 of the memo. ...

... Up: Software Systems and Tools . ... This case study examines the use of the latest software techniques for merging independent Java applets and applications. STScI's new Java interface to the archive, StarView II, will make use of the ST-ECF stand-alone FITS image viewer JIPA. We discuss how state-of-the-art software techniques like Remote Method Invocation (RMI), multithreading, and the Reflection API influence the design of a common interface between StarView II and JIPA. ...

Next: Introduction Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Old neutron star distribution . The population of old galactic neutron stars is computed for model galactic potential and initial neutron star velocity distribution following from binary system evolution scenario. ... Statistical tests appropriate to the problem of gamma-ray burst space distributions are carried out for the obtained distribution. Key words: pulsars - old neutron stars - space distribution - gamma-ray bursts . ...

... The test statistic used for detection is a special case of a function of random variables. ... Important examples of the test statistics are signal variances . ... Usually, the test statistics S in TSA measure a ratio of two variances. ... Since models depend on frequency (or time lag l ), so do the variances and and test statistics S . The statistics we recommend for use in the frequency domain are the ones introduced by Scargle and the Analysis of Variance (AOV) statistics. ...

The Hб  I Column Density Distribution Function at z =0: the Connection to Damped Ly Statistics . ... We present a measurement of the Hб  I column density distribution function [ ] at the present epoch for column densities . These high column densities compare to those measured in damped Ly lines seen in absorption against background quasars. ... The Column Density Distribution Function . ...

Authors: V.A. Marsakov , T.V. Borkova , . ... It is shown that general populations of globular clusters and metal-poor field stars are components at least of three subsystems occupying different volumes in the Galaxy. The thick disk and proto-disk subsystems are genetically associated with the Galaxy. ... It is argued that heavy-element enrichment and the collapse of the proto-galactic medium occurred mainly in the period between the formation of the proto-disk halo and thick disk subsystems. ...

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. ...
