... The task calculates an average RMF over the spatial region used to extract the source spectrum. ... Essentially a grid is placed over the source region and the redistribution parameters calculated at each point. ... By means of command line parameters the averaging may be performed assuming that the flux distribution is that of the point spread function (PSF), a flat uniform distribution or it may be defined explicitly by supplying the task with an image containing the source region. ...

An investigation of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) source and possible radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1), PKS 2004-447, is presented. ... Analysis of a non-contemporaneous, low-resolution optical spectrum suggests that the narrow-line region (NLR) is much more reddened than the X-ray emitting region suggesting that the gas-to-dust ratio in PKS 2004-447 may be very different than in our own Galaxy. ...

... The March 20 total solar eclipse was visible over the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. ... Solar eclipses are of interest for radio astronomy, as they make it possible to observe individual details on the solar disc (spots, filaments, flocculi, etc.) ... On March 20, 2015 the integrated observations of the solar eclipse were carried out at the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 70 wavelengths simultaneously in the range of 1.65cm to 10cm with the 1% frequency resolution. ...

One of the most innovative x-ray detector designs of the past decade is the microcalorimeter. ... In principle, energy resolutions as good as ~1 eV (FWHM) should be possible. ... In its most basic form a microcalorimeter consists of three parts: a thermal mass that absorbs the x-ray and converts the energy to heat, a thermometer to measure the temperature rise of the thermal mass, and a thermal link to a heat sink to allow the absorbed energy to escape from the thermal mass. ...

... Using the central limit theorem, the total noise can be approximated by a Gaussian or normal distribution which has the frequency function : . ... where is the mean intensity of the source. ... In the statistical analysis of the probability distribution of data several estimators based on moments are used. ... For a normal distribution, these moments are and while for a Poisson distribution are and . Besides these moments other estimators are used to describe a distribution e.g. median and mode . ...

Next: Initial conditions Up: Old neutron star distribution Previous: Introduction . The problem to be solved is to find stationary space distribution of stars which have had certain initial space and velocity distributions and move in a given potential. ... In principle, the most straightforward way to obtain the solution is to integrate directly the equations of motion for a sufficiently large number of stars with different initial conditions. ... Then space density is given by . ...

The calculated flux distribution in the 300 to 400 nm region only fits the observed distribution closely for both the Sun and Arcturus when the complete ATLAS9 line list is used. ... Moreover, for Arcturus, even the sub-set of high quality lines can only provide a close fit to the observed high resolution spectrum if we include, ad hoc, an extra amount of continuous absorption opacity. ...

... Clearly, what we need is big telescopes with high resolution spectrographs, to get good data on QSO absorption-lines. With bigger and better telescopes, you could measure the clustering and 3D distribution of gas in the early universe, by looking at lots of faint QSOs in the same parts of the sky. ... With the high resolutions made possible by big telescopes, you could look at the internal velocity structure of the absorbing clouds. ...
