... Using a simple 2-D Gaussian Point Spread Function (PSF) on a constant (flat) sky background, I derive a theoretical photometric and astrometric performance model for analytical and digital PSF-fitting stellar photometry. ... The photometric performance is maximized when either the effective background area or the effective-background-level measurement error is minimized. ... An important, but frequently ignored, noise source is the uncertainty of the measurement of the effective background level ( )...

... The effect of the normal star on the compact magnetized component is largely determined by the rate and velocity of stellar wind at infinity . ... For Be-stars (i.e. those stars at the stage ``I'' whose mass increased during the first mass exchange), the wind velocity at infinity is taken to be equal to the Keplerian velocity   at the stellar surface . Thus, the lower stellar wind velocity leads to an effective increase of the captured mass rate by a secondary companion to such Be-stars. ...

... backcorr makes a background spectrum appropriate to the accumulation region used for a given source spectrum. The task calls arfgen twice; once for the source region and once for the background region. The regions are read directly from the input datasets by arfgen . This gives the integrated effective area as a function of energy over both regions. From these two effective area curves, a direct normalization of the input background spectrum is performed. ... Input Files . ...

As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...
