Next: Hierarchical keywords Up: FITS keywords Previous: Standard keywords . Besides the standard FITS keywords defined in the FITS documents, it is possible to use other, non-standard keywords. Such non-standard keywords have no global definition and may be interpreted differently by different FITS readers. ... Due to the freedom to use non-standard keywords it is important to know their excact definitions when transfering data between different systems. ...

... Standard magnitudes can only be computed for the U, B and V filters and hence the only standard colours that can be calculated are U-B, B-V and U-V. An important point to note, is that these standard colours can be computed using the following instrumental colours - U-B, B-V, U-V, (UVW1-U), (UVW1-B), (UVW1-V), (UVW2-B) and (UVW2-V). ... The program loops through these colours and if the relevant instrumental magnitudes are present computes the standard magnitudes and standard colour. ...

The pipeline calibrated data are not flux calibrated and the data are in units of Data Numbers (DN). However, a flux calibration is supplied in the header keywords. ... where m is in the STMAG system which is based on a spectrum with constant flux per unit wavelength set to roughly match the Johnson system at V. The more conventional systems are based on Vega's spectrum. Table 8.1 was generated using SYNPHOT to provide rough conversions from STMAG to the Johnson UBVRI and Cousins RI systems. ...

... Standard Commands . ... TwistedActor.Actor is core code for writing an actor: an instrument control computer (ICC) or hub-based script that does something useful. This manual describes the standard commands and keywords that any actor based on TwistedActor.Actor will support. All actors based on TwistedActor typically support the following standard commands (plus additional device-specific commands documented in that actor's manual). ... Connect one or more devices (if not already connected). ...

A problem, that can arise when moving from Fortran 77 to Fortran 90, is dependent on a usual deviation from the standard, and has to do especially with user programs. ... With many Fortran 77 implementations we wrote PROGRAM TEST REAL X WRITE(*,10) 10 FORMAT('Give X = ',$) READ(*,*) X WRITE(*,*) X END In Fortran 90 we use "non-advancing I/O" instead. ... In some old Fortran dialects the statement TYPE was used to write on a typewriter terminal and PRINT was used to write on the line printer. ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

... Using UNIX System Calls and Library Functions . ... To use system calls and library functions in a C program we simply call the appropriate C function. Examples of standard library functions we have met include the higher level I/O functions -- fprintf() , malloc() .. ... For most system calls and library functions we have to include an appropriate header file. e.g. stdio.h, math.h . ... Information on nearly all system calls and library functions is available in manual pages. ...

... The first step to improve the FORS calibration is therefore to obtain data to allow a computation of the illumination correction across the field. ... Another limitation on the calibration accuracy has been the brightness of the Landolt standards which have forced the use of extremely short exposures introducing small but non-negligible shutter-time errors and also resulting in a very small number of useful standards per frame. ...
