... This is often done by fitting a parameterized model of the objects to the data by means of least squares and maximum likelihood methods (see Section ). ... When a set of objects have similar features and their relative shifts should be determined, the correlation between them and a template object T is analyzed using the cross--correlation function : . ... Figure: Two normalized early type spectra used as template (A1) and object (A2) yield the cross--correlation function (B). ...

... The effect of the normal star on the compact magnetized component is largely determined by the rate and velocity of stellar wind at infinity . ... For Be-stars (i.e. those stars at the stage ``I'' whose mass increased during the first mass exchange), the wind velocity at infinity is taken to be equal to the Keplerian velocity   at the stellar surface . Thus, the lower stellar wind velocity leads to an effective increase of the captured mass rate by a secondary companion to such Be-stars. ...

... Apply a time-varying phase shift to track the object. ... This overrides the normal behaviour of using the spin axis. arcane The format for the pmotion text files is the "arcane" format (see below). ... Each source is specified by three numbers: ra dec flux The RA and DEC are in normal Miriad format, and the flux is in Jy. ... The normal format consists of 3 values per line, being time ra dec with "time" (UTC), "ra" and "dec" being the position of the object at a given time. ...

... The analysis of NICMOS polarization images is aimed at determining the Stokes' Parameters, and from those the polarization angle and degree for each pixel. NICMOS Camera 1 and Camera 2 each contain three polarizers, whose principal axes of transmission are separated by 120 degrees. ... The images in the three filters need to be compared, in order to produce the Stokes' parameters. ... The Stokes parameters can then be combined to yield the polarized intensity, I p: . ...

... Fitting the observed dependence includes calculations of the polarization cross-sections averaged over particles orientation and size distribution, their normalization and the comparison of obtained dependencies with Serkowski's curve representing observational data for a chosen star. ... Variations of the polarization factors with wavelength are shown in Fig. 16 for homogeneous spheroidal particles with PF orientation. ... The distinction between prolate and oblate spheroids is also clearly seen. ...

... The Earth orientation parameters UT1 and polar motion (x pol ; y pol ) are relat­ ed with the values of UT0 and VOL obtained from the LLR analysis for a station with geocentric longitude and latitude (–; OE) by the following expression: 7 UT0 \Gamma UTC = UT1 \Gamma UTC + (x pol sin – + y pol cos –) tan OE 15 V OL = x pol cos – \Gamma y pol sin – At least four normal points for each station--reflector pair at one day were accepted for the diurnal UT0 estimations. ...

We first present the equations for the period and acceleration of a pulsar in an eccentric binary system as a function of its position in the orbit. ... In Freire, Kramer & Lyne (2001) (from where most of this text and following equations are taken), we describe in more detail how circular binary orbits can be determined from the observed periods and accelerations of the pulsar. ... where is the orbital period of the binary. ...

... The nebular spectra of SNeIa can be used to determine the mass, density, and distribution of the SN ejecta, and the distance and reddening to the SN. Synthetic spectra can very rapidly be computed in NLTE and compared to the observed ones. Given the relatively large number of parameters, it is convenient to explore the parameter space in an automated form. The nebular spectrum synthesis code can be run in parallel on a workstation cluster. ...
