This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...

Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

In this section we present plots which may be used to rapidly estimate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for point sources with stellar spectra observed through popular WFPC2 filters. ... One uses these plots as follows: . ... Dotted lines across the top of each plot indicate the onset of saturation. ... We look at Figure B.10 and find this value on the horizontal axis. ... This exposure is well below the saturation lines in the plot, so saturation is not a concern. ... 0.45 Figure B.1: Point Source SNR vs. ...

... These sources are much more likely to be gravitationally lensed by intervening galaxies as compared with sources discovered in surveys in other wavebands. ... The effect of lensing by clusters is then discussed briefly. This is expected to increase the source confusion noise in a Planck survey in the directions of clusters, and could provide information about galaxies with flux densities that are too faint to be detected directly by Planck . ... 2 The properties of galaxy--galaxy lensing . ...
