... 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. ...

... 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. ...

ST-ECF Technical Instrument Report WFC3-2009-04 The cross dispersion profiles of the WFC3 grisms H. Kuntschner, H. Bushouse, M. KЭmmel, J. R. Walsh April 30, 2009 ABS TRACT This document summarizes the analysis of the cross-dispersion profile width for the three grisms of the WFC3. For the IR grisms, the cross dispersion profile width derived from white light images and monochromator steps obtained in TV3 provide consistent results also in agreement with estimates derived from direct images. ...
