... There are several classifications of the exact methods. ... A more physical classification is that of Th.Wriedt (1998) where he devides the methods in 3 groups: Mie theory expansions (SVM), surface-based (PMM, EBCM, GMT, MoM) and volume-based (FDTDM, TLMM, FEM and various volume IEMs - CDM, DDA, etc.) methods. Features of the methods . Among the methods only SVM and EBCM are capable to provide very accurate results (5 and more correct decimals) (Mishchenko et al., 2000). ... 1998) Part. ...

Although pulsations in EHes appear to be ubiquitous, it is not possible to summarize their properties with a single definition. ... The first discovery of pulsation in an EHe was made by Landolt (1975), who discovered a 0.1day photometric period in V652Her, and by Hill et al. (1981), who measured the radial velocity curve and demonstrated the variations were due to radial pulsation. ... 1987, Jeffery et al. ...

The first release of the Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) contains ~95,000 X-ray sources in a total area of ~0.75% of the entire sky, using data from ~3,900 separate ACIS observations of a multitude of different types of X-ray sources. ... In addition to these traditional catalog elements, for each X-ray source the CSC includes an extensive set of file-based data products that can be manipulated interactively. ...

... While there is practically no detector noise present at energies above , X-ray data below are considerably contaminated by noise events, which become more and more dominant towards the lowest transmitted energies (Fig. ... Investigations of 40 hours of in-orbit calibration data with the filter wheel closed, taken over a period of more than two years, showed that the noise properties vary with position and energy, but are fairly stable in time for most areas on the detector. ...
