Source Segmentation and classification ###################################### Background and Rationale ======================== We define "segmentation" as the process of breaking up an astronomical image into individual sources and measuring basic properties of the sources such as position and flux. ... The end product of segmentation and classification is a "source catalog" which lists the sources and their properties. ... The primary operational uses of source catalogs concern astrometry. ...

SAS home . ... List of SAS threads . OM data processing from A to Z is performed by two "chains": omichain and omfchain , for image and fast mode data respectively. ... Then a source detection algorithm is used to identify the sources present in the image. ... A final source list is obtained from all exposures and filters. ... If the user has PPS products from the processing of his/her observation, or from the XSA, then the first thing to do is to overlay the image source list onto the sky image. ...

Next: Redshift Distribution Up: Sample Identification Previous: Previously Identified Sources . ... In Figure 3, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS FSRQs opposite that of the 1 Jy and S4 samples. In Figure 4, we plot the redshift distribution of DXRBS BL Lacs opposite the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ... The apparent deficit of objects at the very highest luminosities is a result of the smaller area of sky covered by DXRBS compared to, e.g., the Slew and 1 Jy samples. ...

Next: Examples of data contained Up: Electronic database Previous: Future plans . In astrophysics, the optical constants mainly are used to calculate the optical properties of scatterers, i.e. cross-sections, scattering matrix, etc. ... Optical properties derived from such models have been discussed in some books (see, e.g., [ 2 , 3 ]) and in principle can be calculated by using various light-scattering tools which are freely available via the internet [ 4 ]. ...

... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

My research interests are focussed on the theory and modelling of accretion processes as well as star and planet formation mechanisms. I am particularly interested in the stability properties of accretion discs, the generation of MHD turbulence and associated angular momentum transport, disk - planet interactions and the origin and characteristics of jets and winds from accreting systems . ...
