We have also hosted an observing project visit from a contingent of ATNF and CTIP vacation scholars, who observed h Carina with the new 12-mm system (see article elsewhere in this issue), observed new HIPASS galaxies, and studied interference from microwave ovens. ... Currently we are testing this system with a single antenna. ...

... This task needs as input, in addition to the spectrum and detector map, the position of the source in question. ... The task gets this information from one of two sources: from the centre of the source region in the input spectrum (if the parameter withsourcepos false ), or explicitly from the user ( withsourcepos true ). If the latter, the user can choose to specify the position in one of four coordinate systems: EQPOS, POS, TEL and DET. ... Conversion to DET coordinates . ...

. Next: Initial velocity Up: Space and velocity distributions Previous: Space and velocity distributions . Following Paczynsky (1990), we assume initial space distribution of young neutron stars to be varying exponentially with distance from the Galactic center and from the Galactic plane, that is probability distribution for young neutron star positions can be written in the form . with kpc, and pc.

. On the plot the days are shown along X axis and Universal time along Y axis. The regions in the first satellite positions are shown by the regions symbols and colour. The time intervals of the conjugation between considered couple of the satellites during day are shown as a 'wide boxes'. The corresponding numerical file contains the coordinates of both satellites during magnetic conjugations. Dr. Victoria Prokhorenko . Modified 17 June 1999

... Hanisch provided me with the ``right'' answers for the stars in the simulated cluster, so it's easy to determine the error of each magnitude determination: find the star in the truth file that falls nearest to the position of each star in my photometric output, and compute the difference between their magnitudes. The question of how to encapsulate these magnitude differences in an overall figure of merit for the reduction procedure deserves some thought. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... The MIDAS system is available, free of charge, to all non--profit research institutes, whereas other organisations or companies may be charged a nominal fee to cover distribution. Institutes interested in using MIDAS must sign a User Agreement before they receive MIDAS. The necessary forms can be obtained by contacting the Data Analysis Group at ESO/Munich. ... The current system at ESO/Munich is frozen several months prior to the official release. ...

. A distribution list is very useful where a group of users need to communicate amongst themselves on a regular basis. Each list is given a name just like any other user. By addressing a message to the list name, the sender can be sure that everyone will receive a copy. You cannot set up a distribution list yourself. Ask your system administrator to set one up for you.
