... deceit is distributed with the following Perl functions that can be used to fill the dataset with data from text files. rows . ... fillColumn . The function signature is as follows: the first argument must be the variable col , the second the name of a text file from which the data is to be extracted, the third argument an integer denoting from which column in the text file data should be extracted. ... Vector columns in the text file are delimited by the separator character. ...

Next: Conclusions Up: Compensation for Read-Out Noise Previous: Implementation . ... The star cluster, shown in the left panel of Fig. 1 , consists of a field of unresolved stars at random locations and having randomly selected brightnesses. ... These are replotted in Fig. 8 to facilitate comparisons. ... The low level noise is reduced substantially in Fig. 11 , which is the average of 25 restorations of HST star cluster images, each being the result of performing 500 EM iterations. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... Jeremy ``Unbiased'' Drake and Vinay Kashyap . ... We have derived the abundance of iron relative to hydrogen in the corona of the active RS CVn binary HR 1099 (V711 Tau) using EUVE spectroscopic observations and additional X-ray constraints provided by ASCA observations. ... Existing photospheric studies also yield a similar Fe abundance of [Fe/H] ~ -0.4, suggesting at face value an absence of any coronal abundance anomaly in HR 1099 involving Fe. ... J.U. Drake and V. Kashyap 1998, in ASP Conf. ...

... 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...

... Several analysis strategies for computation of systematic part in the radio source velocities can be used: a) estimate source position and velocities from global solution, then fit spherical harmonics to the velocities (Gwinn et al. 1997); b) compute the coefficients of spherical harmonics as global parameters (MacMillan 2005; Titov 2008); c) compute velocities from position time series, then fit spherical harmonics to the velocities. ... Time series statistics is shown in Table 1. ...
