Uniform weighting (including super- and sub-uniform weighting) minimises sidelobes, whereas natural weighting minimises the noise level. ... Suppressing sidelobes over the entire field of the dirty beam corresponds to uniform weighting - that is, we get uniform weighting if sup is set to the field size of the dirty beam; this is the default. ...

... A detector map is used to provide a grid of positions over which to calculate and flux weight the ARF. The default detector map is 'flat' which has a weighting of 1.0 for each detector map pixel and is rectangular having sides which just encompass the region specified in the DSS. Only detector map pixels falling within the source region are included in the ARF calculation, e.g. for a circular source box, the pixels in the corners of the detector map will be ignored. ... flat : . ...

... In order to disentangle the effects of different climate variables on tree-ring growth rates of different species, and to explore the possibility that more than one species could improve the accuracy of the reconstructions of climate using tree rings, a methodical study of trees in close proximity to the Armagh Observatory climate station was initiated together with Ana Maria Garc?a Su?rez, and continued as part of the latter's PhD thesis with John Butler and Professor Mike Baillie (QUB). ...

Text of report The subject if our report is the influence of the structure and physics of the uppermost superadaibatic layers on the oscillational spectrum of p-modes. ... In our report we will try to use a most simple representation of the spectrum, plotting the differences between theoretical (that is models') and observational frequencies against a frequency. ... It allow us to focused on the effects of the uppermost layers and ignore possible sophistications from effect of more deeper layers. ...

... In order to obtain a quantitative estimate of the accuracy and reliability of our data reduction procedures and results, we have performed a data reduction pipeline based on the following steps: i) define a set of simulated HST-like images with synthetic globular cluster stellar distributions, which provide the ``true'' data for comparison; ii) convolve these images with appropriate assumptions of PSF and noise in order to construct simulated `` observed '' ... It contains 470 stars. b) ...

... We study ergodic properties of random maps defined as collections of nonsingular maps $f_1,\dots,f_w$ from a compact metric space $(X,\rho)$ into itself taken with probabilities $p_1,\dots,p_w$ ($\sum_i^wp_i=1$) and considered as Markov processes on $X$. ... In the first situation, when the random map is expanding on average, we mainly follow ideas borrowed from the theory of piecewise expanding maps and the corresponding Banach space is a version of the space of functions of bounded variation on $X...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ...

Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

We present a computing code for modelling energy flux distributions, photometric indices and spectral line profiles of (non-)radially pulsating Main-Sequence stars. ... In the case of slowly rotating stars one can use the zero-rotation approximation to describe stellar pulsations.
