... This task takes an event list and makes an image in which the value in each pixel is proportional to the variability with respect to time of the flux of events which fall within that pixel. The task cycles through all the events in the list which fall within the spatial extent of the image; for each of these events, a value of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is calculated. ... Note the implication that pixels having zero variability are not zero-valued in the output image. ...

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. ...

Section I: Introduction to ALFA and GALFA . Section II: System Description . ... ALFA receives 7 beams, 2 polarizations per beam, each covering 1225-1525 MHz. The 14 IF signals cover nominally the 100 to 400 MHz band. ... A high-resolution, low-bandwidth spectrometer (8K channels covering a 7 MHz bandwidth) . ...

This diagram illustrates a frame-like layout with 'position: fixed'. The illustration shows a four-panel frameset. The top panel ("header") covers the entire width of the frameset and takes up 15% of the vertical space. ... To the right of the sidebar and below the header is the "main" area, whose dimensions are computed based on remaining available space. Finally, at the bottom, the "footer" area is 100px high and covers the entire width of the frameset. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...
