... Should we allow the reference coordinate and pixel size of output image to be defined by input parameters? Current implementation of the re-projection is a little inefficient. Current implementation loads all image data into memory simultaneously. ... The task currently assumes that exposure images are listed in the same order as their raw photon twin, and the WCS keywords of exposure images are taken from the raw image. ... Limits should be placed on the size of the output image. ...

... In this context, (or, in the time domain, l ) are no longer independent variables. They are treated like any of the other parameters: i.e. are assumed to be random variables to be estimated from the observations by fitting a model. ... The MIDAS TSA package contains just one such model, namely Fourier series (SINEFIT/TSA) . ... In the time domain, the most important parameters to be estimated from the data are the correlation length of and time lag between the input signals. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

Next: Initial parameters of compact Up: The Model Previous: The Model . To start the calculations, we choose the distributions of initial binary parameters: mass of the primary ZAMS component, ; binary mass ratio, ; and orbital separation, a . ... As for the mass ratio distribution in binaries, the observational information is poor. Meanwhile, from the evolutionary point of view, it is particularly important how different are the initial masses of the components (see, e.g., Trimble 1983). ...

DWELL is a very similar parameter except that, with DURation , the scan starts GAP seconds (perhaps adjusted by the old parameter PRESCAN after the previous stop time while with DWELL , the scan will start at least GAP seconds after the previous stop time, but, if necessary, will wait longer to allow all antennas to reach the source. ...
