... The routine processing of STIS data in the calibration ``pipeline" requires an interrelated set of software tasks and databases developed and maintained by many groups at STScI. We present the systems-level design of this calibration pipeline from the perspective of the STIS instrument group at STScI. We describe the multiple interfaces to the pipeline processes that the STIS group works across in an effort to provide for the routine calibration of STIS data. ... For example, the STIS group: . ...

... We propose that the bimodal nature of the kick velocity distribu­ tion of radio pulsars is connected to the dichotomy between hadronic stars (i.e. neutron stars with no quark matter content) and quark stars. ... Here we propose a scenario in which the low­velocity part of the distribution is connected with normal (hadronic) compact stars, and high­velocity part is formed by objects with some amount of quark matter inside (hybrid or strange stars). ...
