Fundamental parameters and time evolution of mass loss are investigated for post-main-sequence stars in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae (NGC 104). ... We confirm the cluster's distance as d = 4611+213 -200 pc and age as 12 ТБ 1 Gyr. Horizontal branch models appear to confirm that no more red giant branch mass loss occurs in 47 Tuc than in the more metal-poor Я? Centauri, though difficulties arise due to inconsistencies between the models. ...

... 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. ...

Numerical integration of the parameterized PSF (see HIGH accuracy level described in section 3.2.1 ) . ... The width of the PSF of the telescope scales as a function of angle of incidence on the gratings and diffration angle of the RGA by the chromatic magnification function . ...

... CentralProcessor 0.11 documentation . ... These parameters govern all processing used for the calibrator observation. ... The dynamic flagging step can also optionally include antenna or baseline flagging. Then the bandpass table is calculated with cbpcalibrator , which requires MSs for all beams to be given. ... Second amplitude threshold applied when flagging 1934 data [hardware units - before calibration] . ... Name of the CASA table used for the bandpass calibration parameters. ...

The central velocity dispersion represents the internal motions of the stars along a column crossing the center of a galaxy or star cluster. ... The catalogue of collected velocity dispersions may be accessed in HyperLeda. vdis is the velocity dispersion given in km/s. The velocity dispersion gives to some approximation the scale for the specific kinetic energy contained in in un-ordered motions and combined with the velocity of rotation it may give an estimate of the specific kinetic energy. ...
