... Please note the following problems and workarounds: . ... Arrow keys . Arrow keys are used in SAOtng to move the mouse or markers. ... Unfortunately, error messages are generated if both sets are defined in the SAOtng code but are not supported by X. To get around this problem, we have added the -kbprefix command switch (and the SAOTNG_KBPREFIX environment variable) to SAOtng. This switch allows you to specify which arrow keys you want to use (assuming your version of X supports both). ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... The aperture radius can be changed between 6/bin and 12/bin pixels, where bin is the binning factor (1 for unbinned data, 2 otherwise). The upper limit corresponds to the cal calibration radius. Using a smaller radius than the upper limit will result in the source counts being scaled to the calibration radius using the point-spread function (this correction is the tabulated psf1 corr value).

The auxiliary optical platform on WISPI now accomodates a short focal lens and a guiding/imaging video system that may use sub-pixel corrections to provide feedback to the tracking drive motors. ...

While Apache is for the most part a drop-in replacement for NCSA's httpd, there are a couple gotcha's to watch out for. These are mostly due to the fact that the parser for config and access control files was rewritten from scratch, so certain liberties the earlier servers took may not be available here. ...

This is how a typical dispersion modeling result looks when shown as a map. ... Their numerical values are shown at the top. White normally means no data, but high values may be also shown as white if above the fixed high limit (that is, if no automatic normalization is used for colors). Note that calculations were done both for cell positions and for station positions, so both are colored. PO territories are filled by color corresponding to the average value of cells overlaying them. ...
