... 3.2 CTI correction In CCDs part of the charge released by an absorbed photon is lost during transfer to the readout node. This loss depends on several parameters, in particular on the position where the photon was detected, its energy, the temperature of the CCD, and the saturation of traps by charges preceding along the readout direction. ... The model accounts for the e ects of incomplete charge collection close to the detector surface. ...

It consists of a correction for the blaze function by using a suitable model of the blaze effect introduced by the echelle grating. ... This method uses the overlapping region of adjacent orders to estimate, in a few iterations, the parameter k of the blaze function which is, as before, assumed to be a sinc square. ... The method minimises the difference of the corrected orders in each of the overlapping intervals. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

... Chapter 15. 15.0 Introduction Modeling of Data Given a set of observations, one often wants to condense and summarize the data by fitting it to a "model" that depends on adjustable parameters. Sometimes the model is simply a convenient class of functions, such as polynomials or Gaussians, and the fit supplies the appropriate coefficients. ... The parameters of the model are then adjusted to achieve a minimum in the merit function, yielding best-fit parameters. ... Data are generally not exact. ...
