... Since image restoration algorithms are highly sensitive to the accuracy of the calculated PSF, a significant portion of our research effort is devoted to accurately modeling the PSF which is a highly non-linear problem. Our approach is based on analytical modeling of the wavefront phase using Zernike polynomials. ... In the Fourier domain, we scale the phase map by an observed PSF to more accurately account for the HST/FOC combination. ... The final result is an improved estimate of the phase map. ...

... As modern observatories evolve to production units delivering data products and calibrated scientific data to the end users, new challenges arise in assessing the quality of data products. ... Taking the analogy of speed control on a motorway we can describe the system as a device (radar) collecting measurements of the system performance (passing cars). ... One of the direct applications of quality control is the verification of instrument performance based on the analysis of calibration exposures. ...

Geomagnetic storms and substorms are a natural hazard similar to hurricanes, floods etc. ... Solar and geomagnetic activity also probably influences the Earth's climate and human health. ... Under southward directed IMF the Earth's magnetosphere is open to input from the solar wind flow. ... Since practical importance of solar wind measurements was recognized, a number of approaches was developed for prediction of the geomagnetic activity basing on the solar wind data. ...

... Comet Tutorial . ... On July 1, 1993 an image was taken with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) that clearly shows at least 15 individual fragments in one image frame of the train. ... This made an accurate orbit (or orbits) difficult to determine; however, after numerous observations of the comet, astronmers determined that the comet had passed within 96,000 kilometers (60,000 miles) of the center of Jupiter or 25,000 kilometers (16,000 miles) from the cloud tops during the July 8, 1992, approach. ...

The Initial Condition of Cosmological High-Resolution Simulations T. Ogawa et al. ... However, the resolution of their INITIAL conditions is not high. ... The reso- lution of these initial conditions are constrained by the mesh size, in other words, high-frequency components of (x) are neglected initially. We argue the need for cosmological high-resolution sim- ulations to use a high-resolution initial condition, in other words, an initial condition including high-frequency components. ...
