We present ~kiloparsec spatial resolution maps of the CO-to-H2 conversion factor (ЮБCO) and dust-to-gas ratio (DGR) in 26 nearby, star-forming galaxies. We have simultaneously solved for ЮБCO and the DGR by assuming that the DGR is approximately constant on kiloparsec scales. ... In total, we derive 782 individual solutions for ЮБCO and the DGR. ... However, most galaxies exhibit a lower ЮБCO value in the central kiloparsecт??a factor of ~2 below the galaxy mean, on average. ...

... To convert measurements in Kelvin to Jy (and vice versa) the global function convert_flux is needed. ... The function knows the basic parameters for some frequencies and telescopes, but the user may need to supply the aperture efficiency, telescope diameter or the Jy/K factor.

... If you have a program to convert data to MIDAS input format, fine. ... All you need to do is cannibalize the part of the existing program that reads the data, and add a short piece of code to re-format the data first as a flat ASCII file, one measurement per line; and then convert this to *.tbl format. ... It's just like the process of creating a program-star table. ... You may decide to write a short MIDAS script to apply your format-conversion program and the edited *.fmt file to each night's data...

Definitions of Magnitudes and Surface Brightness 1 The magnitude system 1.1 Apparent magnitude Astronomers are stuck with the antiquated old system of magnitudes and so a clear explanation of what this system is and how it relates to more sensible units is important. ... 1.2 Absolute magnitude Absolute magnitude is a logarithmic luminosity scale. ... One usually goes by the round about process of referring to the absolute magnitude of the sun. ... Magnitudes and surface brightness 6/6 ...

... Virtual Observatory related tools use a new standard for data transfer called the VOTable format. ... We describe a streaming interface that can bridge the VOTable format, through a user friendly graphical interface, with the FITS and ASCII formats, which are commonly used by astronomers. ... This is a tool for converting ASCII or FITS files to VOTable format. ... A number of useful data processing, browsing and visualization tools are available to deal with data in the VOTable format. ...

OptInt PmWiki : Pm Wiki / Upgrading From Pm Wiki 1 . This page gives suggestions for upgrading an existing PmWiki 1.x installation to use PmWiki 2.0. In this page we assume that a site administrator already has a site running using PmWiki version 1.x or earlier in a somewhat standard configuration, and wants to upgrade to the 2.0 software. Important note: The normal PmWiki upgrade procedure (i.e., copy the new software over the existing one) won't work for moving from 1.x to 2.0. ...
