... We apply Multichannel Singular Spectrum Analysis (MSSA, or extended EOF) technique to filter GRACE data and separate the principal components (PCs) of different periods. We performed data averaging over the large river basins of Russia. ... In every point ij on the map we have time series Aij(tk) of length N. The trajectory matrix for every XAij should be build and incorporated into large block matrix X as follows: X Aij Aij (t0 ) Aij (t1 ) .. ... Sum of PCs 1-10 for particular rivers basins. ...

... Among the objectives of Principal Components Analysis are the following. dimensionality reduction; љ . the determining of linear combinations of variables; љ . ... identification of groups of objects or of outliers. ... Finding a set of principal axes allows the objects to be adequately characterised on a smaller number of (artificial) variables. ... Reduction of dimensionality is practicable if the first new axes account for approximately 75 % or more of the variance. ...

Next: Accretion Disks with Up: StarsStellar Populations, Previous: Spectroscopic Analysis of . ... We present and discuss spatially resolved spectra of the accretion disk and the gas stream region as a function of distance from disk center, the spectrum of the uneclipsed light, and the radial temperature distribution in the ultraviolet. Keywords: Accretion disks, Cataclysmic variables . ... In this paper we report on the HST spectral mapping of the nova-like UX UMa. ...

... Archives . ... The PCA and ICA is used for separating mixed components with some assumptions. ... The need of source separation methods in astronomy has led various adaptations of decomposition methods available. ... I rarely come up with a paper which gathered and summarized component separation methods applicable to astronomical data. In that regards, the following paper seems useful to overview methods of reducing dimensionality for astronomers. [arxiv:0805.0269] . ... Chandra Blog . ...

Next: A New IRAF Catalog Access Tool for Astrometry . Up: Iraf Packages . ... Twofitlines is a tool developed within IRAF, optimized to be used with data containing multiple spectra along the spatial axis of the detector. A given spectral feature can be decomposed in one or several Gaussian components. ... A given spectral feature can be modeled using one or more components (currently only Gaussian profiles are available), . ... Close spectral features could be modeled simultaneously. ...

... The axial support is provided by 78 air pistons. ... The transverse support is provided by 38 air pistons, supported by cantilevers from the mirror cell, that act on the mirror local center of gravity surface. ... The locations where the transverse mirror support forces should be applied to the mirror are listed in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 1. ... Figure 1: CAD drawing showing the 2.5-m primary mirror and the locations of the transverse support posts (black) and axial pneumatic pistons (blue...

Irregular phenomena in the Earth Pole oscillation process and temporal variations of geopotential Valery Bondarenko, Vadim Perepelkin s The observed irregular phenomena in the Earth Pole oscillation process are very variety. ... These phenomena indicated in the IERS data are the "abnormal" fluctuation of the Earth Pole coordinates which owing to changing of the geodynamical parameters gives negative result in interpolation and forecast of the first approximation mathematical model. ...

... We present the first results of the application of Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) to the analysis of molecular line spectra. ... The principles of the method are discussed and some results from the analysis of -spectra from the Thumbprint Nebula are shown. ... The Positive Matrix Factorization . ... Thumbprint Nebula . ... Figure 1: a) The first 20 singular values of a matrix containing the 92 -spectra used in the analysis. b) An example of a factorization of rank one . ...

... For every level we have plotted the dependence between width and Lande factor and obtained the linear regression parameters: the inclination, the zero Lande factor line width and the correlation. ... Fig. 1. presents a model components, the intensity of which decreases (b) line with 10 and increases (c) to the center of spectral line (the field is 12 k6s). ... Our results show strong dependencies of line width on the level of width measurements. ...
