Scargle sine model: This command computes Scargle's (1982) periodogram for unevenly spaced observations x . ... In this way, the command can be used to perform a CLEAN-like analysis manually by removing individual oscillations one by one in the time domain (see Roberts et al. ... AOV/TSA -- . ...

... Both selfcal and gpscal can be given multiple input model images. ... The self-calibration tasks assume that the gains are not dependent on these different aspects of the data ( e.g. the gains are independent of frequency and pointing centre). ... The self-calibration tasks will generally determine the appropriate correspondence between data and model ( e.g. it will associate the data from a particular pointing with a model with the same pointing). ...

The aromatic features in M101 were studied spectroscopically and photometrically using observations from all three instruments on the Spitzer Space Telescope. The global SED of M101 shows strong aromatic feature (commonly called PAH feature) emission. ... This implies that the weakening of the aromatic emission in massive star-forming regions is due primarily to processing of the dust grains in these environments, not to differences in how they form. ...

The retweet numbers are close to the values that Twitter has for the tweets, which means that I can't have messed up too much (I wouldn't expect perfect agreement since Twitter does not guarantee that any search will return all matching tweets; also, the Twitter values are updated whereas mine are fixed until the next set of tweets gets analyzed). The most re-tweeted accounts. ...

... Just as magnetic storms are composed of substorms, the substorms themselves seem to be composed of smaller scale events. ... steplike expansion of the auroral bulge (Vorobjev and Rezenov, 1973; Sergeev and Yahnin, 1979; Murphree and Cogger, 1992; Nakamura et al., 1993) . ... 1990) . ... fine structure in the bursts of bremsstrahlung X-rays (Lazutin et al., ...

... Time-series of high resolution spectra have been obtained during three nights and several important events were detected. Observations contained several chromospheric lines, allowing to investigate simultaneously the response of the chromosphere at different heights. A detailed analysis of the H alpha line behaviour, in particular, has revealed prominece clouds and plage-like regions in this star. ... Promience clouds are seen to lie below the co-rotation radius. ...

... Magnetic fields, subatomic particles, etc., traveling in different directions fill the universe. Do they deflect or otherwise affect one another? If so, isnт??t the information we get from them distorted? ... Neutrino astronomy, which is still in its infancy, is attractive because neutrinos interact so weakly with matter that few of these distorting effects occur.
