... Sometimes a background process or a process without a controlling terminal hangs up and you will need to destroy this process by killing it. To kill a process use the kill command. kill [-signal] process_identifier (PID) . ... Always try to kill a process with a simple kill command. kill process_identifier . ... If this does not work use the -1 (one) signal. kill -1 process_identifier . ... As a last resort use the -9 signal: kill -9 process_identifier . ... Using the shell built-in kill command . ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

Next: AXAF Recipes Up: ROSAT HRI Recipes Previous: Quantum Efficiency Correction (a.k.a. For some observations, a significant amount of data may have been rejected during SASS processing because the background level was higher than the calculated threshold for rejection. ... REJECTED EVENTS . ... The recipe will allow the user to include rejected events in the generation of a new qpoe file and filter on the background level. ... This creates a qpoe file with standard + rejected events. ...

Russian SHAREABLE DATA CENTER Institute of Solar-Terrestial Physics SB RAS . ... Although their determination is based on the scattering process model, independent check-ups by rocket experiments have shown their correctness in experimental applications. ... Ionospheric data analysis, especially during strong disturbances, cannot be without some other kinds of diagnostic tools. ... The lack of data has always been a challange in this case. ...

In the figures below, the general flow of processing for Viking Orbiter data is outlined, illustrated with the best two images of the "Face"(Figure 1). ... Figure 1: Raw (top) and contrast-enhanced raw (bottom) enlargements of 035A72 (left) and 070A13 (right). ... Figure 3: Increasing the contrast of the "face" images (035A72 (left) and 070A13 (right)). ...

Disastrous earthquakes happen 100 to 200 times a year. ... There is a chance that the data of ionospheric plasma observations hold an answer to the latter question. Satellites and ground-based facilities may detect earthquake precursors in the ionosphere a few hours or days before the main shock. ... ULF "Hz"-oscillations have been recorded several hours before the main shock in a narrow magnetic field tube (40...100 km along the satellite trajectory) conjugated with epicenter of the earthquake. ...

... We present an analysis of an optical blue spectrum of the pulsating helium star V652 Her (=BD+13 3224$) in order to determine its effective temperature, surface gravity and chemical composition. ... The surface composition is characterised by abundances of nH=0.009, He=0.988, nC~0.000040, nN=0.0025 and nO=0.00010 (number fractions). ... If V652 Her was formed by the merger of two white dwarfs, its surface composition demands that they should both be helium white dwarfs. ...

... Acceleration of particles in the vicinity of a massive black hole We propose a two-step mechanism for charged particle acceleration in the magnetosphere of a massive black hole surrounded by an accretion disk. Particles first gain energy by stochastic process during the accretion phase. It is shown that effective proton acceleration up to energies eV is possible in the turbulent magnetized accretion disk. ...
