The Astronomical Society of Australia has been asked by STANDARDS AUSTRALIA to compile a list of "designated" optical observatories that are valuable resources for (i) research, (ii) education and (iii) community use. The ASA is the final arbiter of whether any particular observatory is so designated. ... Upon receipt of your application form, your observatory will be entered on a list of "Pending Designated Observatories" on the ASA Home Page. ... It will be emailed for you. ... Email . ...

... Light weight and low power consumption combined with nearly quantum limited sensitivity and a wide tuning range of the superconducting local oscillator make SIR a perfect candidate for many practical applications. Superconducting Integrated Receiver (SIR) [1] comprises on one chip a low-noise SIS mixer with quasioptical antenna, an Flux-Flow Oscillator (FFO) acting as a Local Oscillator (LO) and a second SIS harmonic mixer (HM) for the FFO phase locking. ...

The intent for the original iPhone procurement and use was primarily testing of applications relevant to astronomy and any other productivity tools to support STScI personnel in their functional work in support of Hubble Space Telescope (HST), James Web Space Telescope (JWST), Community Missions Office (CMO), and outreach. ... Initially tested applications available from Apple (early operating system) and also applications that only ran on the "jailbroken" device. ... Tested Google Sky browser. ...

The technical memorandum: Time and Time Interval Measurement with Application to Computer and Network Performance Evaluation (PostScript) describes a number of techniques for conducting experiments typical of computer network and transmission systems engineering. ... The usual data collected during a performance run of some experiment might include time offsets, time delays, frequency offsets and various error statistics. ...

... We present several applications of the AIPS++ environment as applied to the development of the Green Bank Telescope as well as current astrophysical problems. ... In particular, the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) project requires AIPS++ as an analysis environment. To accommodate and facilitate the GBT development, several sets of tools have been fashioned within AIPS++ at several points along the data path, from general calibration routines and data quality assessment to analysis and modeling. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...

... Here we focus on identifying and parametrising HI absorption lines which occur in the line of sight towards strong radio continuum sources. We have developed a method for simultaneously finding and fitting HI absorption lines in radio data by using multi-nested sampling, a Bayesian Monte Carlo algorithm. The method is tested on a simulated ASKAP data cube, and is shown to be reliable at detecting absorption lines in low signal-to-noise data without the need to smooth or alter the data. ...
