Next: Calibration Frames and Up: CCD Reductions Previous: General Overview of . ... However, apart from a few cases the keyword setting itself is not modified: principally, keywords can only be changed by the SET/CCD command. ... After (partially) having finished a CCD reduction the user may want to store the current keyword setting. ... The keyword setting can be restored by the command INIT/CCD red_table , where red_table is the reduction table containing the CCD keyword setting, previously saved. ...

The determination of the detector parameters is based on sets of images of a spatially uniform-illumination scene (flatfield frames) and without any illumination (dark frames), putting a plug in place of the filter, taken at a series of exposure times. ... We interleave before and after each exposure time in the series of flatfield frames a set of reference images at an exposure time of 1 sec to determine the possible temporal variation of the illumination level. ...

... We assume that an instantaneous starburst occured in the region of the Galactic center, with half of the stars (in number) being formed in binaries. The total mass of the stars formed during the starburst was taken to be , as indicated by the Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) analysis. ... In fact, the number of stars in IRS 16 estimated by Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) is uncertain within a factor of 2, but this is actually of no importance as long as we only use relative numbers of different X-ray source species. ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

Detector on-chip integration (DIT): seconds. to your chosen value - a separate page gives recommended values to use for DIT - for modes 1 and 2 below you may wish to start with the maximum recommended values as these will minimize the effect of read noise (a total object exposure of Y secs with DIT=X secs will produce Y/X lots of read noise) and give you a lower limit on the time needed. ...
