... omichain (omichain-1.51) [xmmsas_20080701_1801-8.0.0] . ... The omichain then cycles through each filter in the filter list and processes each exposure in the exposure list for that filter. ... If a USNO catalogue fits file is available, and the parameter usecat is set to true then it will also correct the astrometry for any offset between the OM and USNO RA and dec axes, adding the columns RA_CORR and DEC_CORR to the source-list. ...

... A tutorial on multispectral imaging of paintings using the Mona Lisa as a case study . ... Conclusions: In this article, we have presented a tutorial description of the multispectral acquisition of images from a signal processing point of view. ... I wonder if there?s literature in astronomy matching this tutorial from which we may expand and improve current astronomical photometry processes by adopting strategies developed by more populated signal/image processing engineers and statisticians. ...

... The analysis and reduction of the STIS flanking fields proceeded in similar fashion as for the imaging of the Main STIS Field. ... The DARK calibration reference file used in the CALSTIS data reduction steps was constructed using a 'delta-dark' image appropriate for the epoch of the flanking field observations. ... DRIZZLE drop-size used for the flanking fields was a "pixfrac" of 0.8. ... For information on the data reduction, please read first the technical information for the Main WFPC2 Field . ...

... New offset/filter box. A new filter/box is available. ... It is lighter, smaller and sturdier than the filter/clock and offset boxes used till now. ... The offset is stabilized to a few parts in a million. ... Notice that only positions 0-3 are meaningful, while values of 4 and above will leave the signal unfiltered. The box has one input BNC, and two output BNC: one outputs the signal with the same polarity as the input, the other reverses the signal (remember that FIRPO has negative output). ...

... A test was done with the alfa filter bank on 07dec11 to see how well the filter bank settled. ... This centered the high freq band at 1450 MHz. The low freq band at 1300 MHz was not used for the test. ... While the mock spectrometers were taking data, the alfa filterbank was switched between the wide band filter (300 MHz) and the narrow band filter (100 MHz centered at 1440 MHz). ... The alfa filter has has trouble switching between narrow band and wide band observing for most of the alfa beams. ...

Next: Hierarchical Wiener filtering Up: Noise reduction from Previous: The convolution from . Let us consider a measured wavelet coefficient at the scale i . We assume that its value, at a given scale and a given position, results from a noisy process, with a Gaussian distribution with a mathematical expectation , and a standard deviation : . ... We get: . ... This is done from the study of the variation of the noise between two scales, with an hypothesis of a white gaussian noise; . ...

... After the edit, recompile the kernel and recompile the Apache server then reboot. ... If you're running a really busy BSD Apache server, the following are useful things to do if the system is acting sluggish: . ... Maximum # of processes . ...
