STScI . ... Phase I Proposing . ... Astronomer's Proposal Tool . ... STScI solicits proposals for HST Observing, Archival Theoretical Research. ... HST Cycle 24 Phase II Proposal Deadline . The Call for Proposals (CP) invites the astronomical community to propose for observing time on HST in a given cycle (nominally one year in duration). It summarizes the policies and procedures for proposing in that cycle of HST observing, including requests for funding research on archival HST data. ...

Next: The ESO VLT CCD Detectors Software . ... Up: Instrument-Specific Software . ... The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

The following are useful tcsh completions I use, which should mostly be fairly standard for any unix platform, so you can just drop them into place. # directories complete cd 'C/*/d/' complete rmdir 'C/*/d/' complete lsd 'C/*/d/' # signal names # also note that the initial - can be created with the first completion # but without appending a space (note the extra slash with no # append character specified) ...

May 1997: the new offset/filter box is being tested, and should be available at CA starting with the July 1997 run. ... February 1997: FIRPO II succesfully tested at the 6m telescope in Russia. December 1996: new versions of the FIRPO logbook sheets are now available, in two separate versions for photometry (54 Kb) and occultations (42 Kb) . ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / User-visible functionality The OAL provides functionality to expand a pair of two or a tuple of four identifiers into a valid ODF data set name which can then be used to physically open the set, e.g. with the dal open method. The corresponding OAL routine receives a string which is either a valid data set name or of the form . odf(<instr>, <mode>[, <expnr>, <ccdnr>[, scheduledFlag]]) . ... For data sets for which the field is not applicable a value of 0 must be given. ...
