The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

... We present a proposed standard for data dictionaries associated with catalogs being accessed through the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Mosaic Catalog Service. Each catalog made available for searching must have a data dictionary, which consists of a set of specified keywords describing format, content and location of data. ... There are two keywords in the Table Data Dictionary which indicate to the server software that the corresponding column contains special attributes. ...

... The absolute flux calibration of NICMOS will be calculated from observations of standard stars with known flux distributions F( ). ... In order to expand the set of IR standard stars in the appropriate flux range for NICMOS, M. Rieke, R. Thompson, and collaborators at the University of Arizona are making photometric observations of solar-analog stars, which will be used to normalize the solar spectrum to the observed IR magnitudes. ... Relative flux references accurate to 1.5% for standard...

... There are two ways to produce flat fields for use with IR data. The standard method is to take 'LAMP ON' and 'LAMP OFF' exposures of the calibration spot on the telescope dome. The 'LAMP ON' exposure contains light from both the calibration lamp, which should provide the even illumination needed for the flat field, together with potentially uneven illumination from the telescope and instrument environments. ... In MIDAS, you may directly use COMPUTE/IMAGE to perform the subtraction. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... Standard colours are given whenever there are at least two appropriate filters. These colours may be calculated from more than one instrumental colour, and all the standard magnitudes that have been computed are given in seperate columns, and the colour that was used in the calculation is given at the end of the label string. Standard colours and errors then follow. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2007-07-09 ...

Hide Zen home . ... Index . ... Do we really need them for database indexing ? ... We need simple numbering scheme, so that for any given point we could easily calculate the number of "pixel", this is what HealPix provides and lacks HTM. ... During Rtree queries the number of index blocks read is several times greater than during Q3C queries. ... But in Q3C scheme, as we showed before, the circle is segmented, so we extract from the database only a few percents more data than occur in the circle. ...
