The srcinten task provides PROS users with a tool to compute count rates for point sources in the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI). ... Corrected upper limits are cited at locations where the count rate falls below the source detection threshold. ... Srcinten is a new PROS task that computes and applies the above correction factors to the net counts in a user-specified aperture. ...

... The concerns here are similar to those for observing bright targets; saturation and blooming of the bright companion PSF must not impact the faint target. Also, one may need to consider subtracting the PSF of the bright object, and effects which limit the accuracy of that subtraction. If the bright companion will saturate and bloom, it will be necessary to rotate the CCD so that blooming along the CCD columns does not obliterate the faint target. ...

... Searches for Star Formation in Damped Systems . ... The objective was to measure the star-formation rates in these systems. However, no H emission was detected above our limits of Wm -2 , corresponding to star formation rates ( q 0 =0.5). ... For q 0 =0.5 our limits are in conflict with the star formation rates predicted under the assumption that the high- z DLAs are the fully-formed galactic-disk counterparts of today's massive spiral galaxies. ...

Whilst no radio emission was detected from any of the targets, significant upper limits were placed on the radio luminosities that are below the luminosities of previously detected ultracool dwarfs. Combining our results with those from the literature gives a detection rate for dwarfs in the spectral range M7 тАУ L3.5 of тИ® 9%. ...

... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...

... Bojan Nikolic web pages (r. 329) . ... Using high-resolution three-dimensional realisations of turbulent fields, we investigate the limits on achievable performance of atmospheric phase correction using water-vapour radiometers arising from following effects: the incoherent measurement of power from water by the radiometers (in contrast to coherent detection of the astronomical signal); the different tapers of the response patterns of the astronomical and radiometer receivers; and, the ...

The period of this variable was first determined by Tony Vanmunster (Center of Backjard Astrophysics). We have taken the observations with CCD ST-7 and 60-cm reflector of SAI Crimean station. ... The longest set was taken at night of 2000 February 12 including 291 R 60 second long frames with the magnitude limit of 18. Summing all these frames in a single one I have taken a "deep sight" of this region having the limit of 21.7R. The effective exposition is 4 h. 51 m. Look at this frame! ...

... A radio galaxy is a galaxy that emits an unusually big amount of energy at radio wavelengths. ... Inside of each galaxy with an active nucleus (radio galaxies are among them) there must be a system of a "central machine" responsible for the colossal amount of the emitted energy from radio to gamma ranges. ... Sometimes a radio source in an active galaxy may flare again if the needed conditions appear (a new portion of matter would fall into the furnace of the "central machine"). ...

DISCLAIMER: The larger the aperture, the more light a telescope will gather and the fainter the object you can see. Here is a range of magnitudes you might expect to see. Given excellent sky conditions and good optics, a well trained eye can sometimes add up to 0.8 magnitude to these values. Limiting Magnitude depends on much more than the instruments aperture. ... One formula is for aperture in inches the other is for aperture in millimeters. ... Aperture (inches) . ... 15.2 . ...
