This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...

Next: Parameter estimation Up: Basic principles of Previous: Time domain analysis . A simple way to graphically present the results of a TSA is to plot the test statistics S against its parameter or l , depending on whether the analysis was performed in the frequency or time domain. ... Examples of statistics used in the time domain are covariance and correlation functions. The correlation of a signal with itself or with another signal produces maxima in these functions at particular lags. ...
