... E1 Apertures Kailash C. Sahu March 9, 2004 ABSTRACT A calibration program was carried out to determine the spectroscopic LSFs at the pseudo-aperture locations (E1 apertures) for the first order CCD modes. Observations were taken with the narrowest 52X0.05 acrsec slit to minimize the effect of the aperture on the determination of the LSFs. ... The dotted lines are the LSFs obtained at the nominal aperture locations and the solid lines are the LSFs obtained at the pseudo aperture locations. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...

The instrument is basically a multi-directional ion mass spectrometer measuring ion distribution functions over an energy range from ~0.1 to 80 eV. ... The ion angular and energy distribution are obtained by means of an electrostatic optics defining 2 planes with several entrance windows. ...

... Archive 2003: . As a result of development of image slicers, polarization analyzers and reduction technique, the limiting magnitude of spectral observations at BTA with high spectral resolution (up to R=80000) has been increased by 3 times, the limiting magnitude of spectropolarimetric observations increased from 3 to 8 times (in the red and UV ranges, respectively). ... Archive . ...

... Even future mission archives tend to concentrate more on what can be extracted out of a proposal or a Guaranteed Time Observation log than the actual extracted science out of the data itself. ... A year later the data is then publicly available. An archive researcher has then to go through a mass of data to find what may be useful without any indication as to what the actual observer's results were while using the data except the proposal, which in most cases is very general. ...
