In principle, it is possible to compute a value of the statistic for a single frequency and to test its consistency with a random signal ( ). ... The factor N means that there is an increased probability of accepting a given value of the statistic as consistent with a random signal. ... In the command individual descriptions, we often refer to probability distributions of specific statistics. ...

User Information Repor t UIR-1999-04 A Loose Screw on HST: Its Effect on HST Observing Programs J. Younger July 22, 1999 Concurrence: G. Miller ABSTRACT A hardware problem in the HST power system has caused overcharging of 2 of the 6 on-board batteries, which, if nothing was done, could result in battery overheating and possible failure. ... In order for HST to remain power positive, the maximum sustained sun to solar array normal angle (sun incidence angle) has been reduced from 25 to 20 degrees. ...
