... A demonstration of HST WFPC image restoration has been made using both empirical and simulated PSFs. Empirical PSFs are obtained from the WFPC PSF library and also extracted from the image to be restored. ... The best results obtained thus far rely upon being able to determine a high S/N empirical PSF from the data frame. In order to achieve accurate restorations of data with high dynamic range excellent PSF models are required. ... Keywords: image restoration, HST WFPC image, PSFs . ...

... The magnetic field of the Earth has been investigated by satellites for several decades now, and enough of it is known to model its average strength and shape during different levels of overall magnetic activity. Presently the most used empirical global magnetic field models are the Tsyganenko models (1987, 1989) , referred to as T87 and T89, respectively, although even these consist of several submodels. ...

... The resulting spectra were analyzed with a kinematic Monte Carlo model which allows estimation of the OH production rate, neutral gas outflow velocity, and distribution of the out-gassing from the nucleus. ... The best-fit model spectrum is shown together with the observed line. ... Both models are scaled to match the average off spectrum. When the same scaling is applied to the nucleus-centered model spectra, shown on the right, it is clear that only the quenched model matches the observations. ...
