... The third processing stage filters the combined event list to produce the filtered event list, which contains the collection of node-specific exposure maps. ... Combining the event filtering with exposure map construction in one step assures mutual consistency. ... If the original combined event list is missing (as, for example, in the PPS) the original filtered event list is acceptable as a substitute if no changes have been made to the original attitude and housekeeping GTI. ...

Neptune: Once Around . ... Credit Copyright: NASA , ESA , Hubble Heritage Team ( STScI / AURA ) Explanation: Neptune rotates once on its axis in about 16 hours. ... Because Neptune's axis of rotation is tilted to its orbital plane by 29 degrees, compared to Earth's 23.5 degrees, Neptune experiences seasons analogous to Earth's . As early summer comes to Neptune's southern hemisphere and winter to the north, Hubble observations have shown cloud activity shifting to the northern hemisphere. ...

... We present a simple, effective technique that allows the contemporary spectroscopy of all the objects, up to a limiting magnitude, contained in a 100 arcmin 2 field. ... For this reason, we have developed a technique, that allows the simultaneous spectroscopy of all the objects included in a square field of view with 10 side, using the widely used FOSC-type optical spectrometer and camera focal-plane instruments. ... Thus the flux calibration of the slitless spectra was also straightforward. ...

... In one situation, we can use light from quasars to probe the material between us and them because that light may pass through one or more galaxies or gas clouds on its way to us. The gas inside the galaxies or the intergalactic clouds acts then as a filter, absorbing selected wavelengths from the quasar light. ... Light from a quasar must pass through clouds of gas and even faint galaxies -- each leaving its imprint on the light -- before we receive it here on Earth. ... Gravitational lensing . ...
