... This calibration approach is recommended when dealing with high frequency data from the old ATCA correlator, especially at 3mm wavelengths. ... The approach described here exploits the dual frequency bands that were available with the old correlator. ... Rather the current approach assumes that you have a single Miriad dataset containing bandpass calibrator, phase calibrator, flux density calibrator and program source. ... MFCAL . ...

... The method I use for doing this assumes that all of the contributions, and all of their PostScript figure files, are in the same directory. ... If you want to build the book in a different directory, then you will need the GNU version of make, so that files can depend on files in other directories. ... The PAPERS macro must contain an entry for each contribution, but with a .ltx extension instead of .tex. .ltx is the file extension used by the \paper macro for inclusion into the book. ...

... The parameter pgdev allows the user to specify a pgplot device, but, in contrast to the pgplot standard, the file name should not be included, but instead supplied via the parameter plotfile . ... To write a colour postscript file called op.ps: pgdev=/cps plotfile=op.ps . However note that at present, if a colour postscript device ( pgdev = `/cps'), a fits file ( pgdev = `/fits') or a ppm file ( pgdev = `/ppm') are selected, the task in fact bypasses pgplot and writes the postscript file directly. ...

Next: Sky Subtraction Up: Construction of Flat Previous: Standard construction . For a number of projects where very deep integrations and accurate flat fields are required, and the targets are point sources or much smaller than the frame size, the sky background itself can be used to calculate the flat field. ... Use STATISTICS/IMAGE to calculate the image median, and COMPUTE/IMAGE to divide by this to get the normalised flat field. ...

... Most of these events are thought to be explosions of Carbon-Oxygen White Dwarfs, but recent developments suggest that WDs with alternative compositions may contribute. But there is also the possibility of oxygen-neon white dwarf (ONe WD) or Carbon-Oxygen-Neon-hybrid white dwarf (CONe WD) progenitors in some of the explosion scenarios. I will present results from recent hydrodynamical simulations of explosions in Oxygen-Neon and hybrid Carbon-Oxygen-Neon WDs. ...

... Routines for accessing I/O ports are in /usr/include/asm/io.h (or linux/include/asm-i386/io.h in the kernel source distribution). ... Before you access any ports, you must give your program permission to do so. This is done by calling the ioperm() function (declared in unistd.h , and defined in the kernel) somewhere near the start of your program (before any I/O port accesses). ... For example, ioperm(0x300, 5, 1) would give access to ports 0x300 through 0x304 (a total of 5 ports). ...
