Target Acquisition Reference Information . ... In almost all cases where an onboard acquisition will not work (because the object is in a crowded field, or is variable, or is a moving target), it is sufficient to use an early acquisition to get a WFPC2 or FOC image a few weeks in advance of the GHRS observation. ...

This document discusses the conventions for combining region and table filters, especially with regards to the comma operator. Filter specifications consist of a series of boolean expressions, separated by commas. ... Region and table filters can be combined: foo.fits[circle(10,10,3),pi=1:5] or even: foo.fits[pha==1 (10,10,3),pi==2 (20,20,8,5)] In these cases, it is not obvious whether the command should utilize an or or and operator. ...

. Dark matter forms the foundation for all cosmic structure, and its annihilation, decay, or other particle interactions have the potential to affect early structure formation by injecting energy into local gas. I will discuss the status of the quest to identify dark matter, major unsolved problems relevant to the abundance and structure of dark matter halos, and how dark matter annihilation energy can affect the binding of gas within the earliest cosmic structures.
