... ASAP contains flexible data selection. Data can be selected based on IF, beam, polarisation, scan number as well as values such as Tsys. ... Selection is based on a selector object. This object is created and various selection functions applied to it ( set_ifs , set_beams etc). The selection object then must be applied to a scantable using the set_selection function. ... The selection can then be reset and all spectra are visible. ... Select by source name. ... Select data based on Tsys. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...

... To run the <LAYER> version of the example, select: flower.htm . ... However, if the page had several layers with absolute positions, and you wanted to place another layer in a relative position to one of the existing layers, you could use inline JavaScript to calculate the value for LEFT or TOP . ... In this example, there is really no need to use inline JavaScript to position the last flower layer, since you could just let the TOP value default to its natural value, as in the other flower layers. ...
