... Archives . ... Reduced and Processed Data . ... 2 distribution plays an incredibly important role in astronomical data analysis, but it is pretty much a black box to most astronomers. ... Comment ( RSS ) | ... I guess in the typical analysis we call chi2 a ?random variable? that follows the chi2 distribution: . ... where D(i) is the observed data, M(i) is the model predicted data and we ?silently? assume that D(i) is normally distributed and each i measurement is independent. ... Chandra Blog . ...

Next: Code II: Unknown Up: Image Restorations of High Previous: Construction of Algorithms . ... The positions of the designated point sources ( ) must be given as well as initial amplitudes for and . ... The integrated flux of the point sources ( ) plus that of the distributed emission ( ) is constrained to equal that of the observed image ( ). ... This is investigated in Fig. 1 where all emission derives from point sources but only one - the brightest - is designated as such. ...

... Using the central limit theorem, the total noise can be approximated by a Gaussian or normal distribution which has the frequency function : . ... where is the mean intensity of the source. ... In the statistical analysis of the probability distribution of data several estimators based on moments are used. ... For a normal distribution, these moments are and while for a Poisson distribution are and . Besides these moments other estimators are used to describe a distribution e.g. median and mode . ...

... We can investigate projection of this distribution onto the celestial sphere in two ways: in terms of lines of constant SN frequencies per one square degree for all galaxies from the sample (Figure 36 ), and in terms of constant GW amplitudes at a given SN frequency per square degree (Figure 44 ). ... Figure 45: The sky distribution of the total supernova frequency from nearby galaxies in terms of lines of equal frequencies per square degree. ...

... CYGAM FLIGHT IN THE HIGH APOGEE ORBIT? Distribution of the Galaxy diffuse emission with high angular resolution allowing to refine the spatial distribution of the cosmic-ray protons in the Galaxy. More than 1000 compact sources with the fraction of degree location accuracy and continuouse monitoring of their flux time variation. Up to 10 new gamma-ray pulsars emitting in the very high energy range. Several high energy gamma-ray bursts with the fraction of degree localization accuracy. ...

... The task calculates an average RMF over the spatial region used to extract the source spectrum. ... Essentially a grid is placed over the source region and the redistribution parameters calculated at each point. ... By means of command line parameters the averaging may be performed assuming that the flux distribution is that of the point spread function (PSF), a flat uniform distribution or it may be defined explicitly by supplying the task with an image containing the source region. ...

... Summary. ... Subject of my Ph.D. thesis is the analysis and interpretation of the overall gas dynamics in the starburst galaxy NGC 1808, in comparison with other spiral galaxies in a similar evolutionary stage. ... c) nuclear outflow of neutral gas into the halo of the galaxy, . ... We have mapped the 21-cm absorption in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 1808 using the VLA AnB-hybrid array with a resolution of approx. 5.2 arcsec (which corresponds to 275 pc). ...
