Computer models of objects (galaxies, circumstellar disks, etc.) are often generated to compare with observed images. ... When comparing models to WFPC2 images, it is often forgotten that the instrumental PSF can have a very significant effect. ... Also, the undersampling of the WFPC2 cameras makes the model image very sensitive to subpixel alignment. ... Left) WFPC2 WFC F814W image of HH30 (0.1 arcsec/pixel); (Middle) Model of HH30 disk; (Right) Model of HH30 disk convolved with a Tiny Tim model PSF. ...

... If you elect to model the sky, you will see some graphs showing the progress of the fitting procedure. First, if some bright stars were observed, you see a plot of sky data (for a given band and night) as a function of the adjacent star's brightness. ... Second, if there are enough dark-sky data to model, you will see a plot of the dark-sky data (corrected for star light) as a function of airmass, with the fitted term drawn in as + signs. ... Again, the fit is shown with + signs. ...

ON THE IMPACT OF THE GALACTIC ABERRATION ON VLBI-DERIVED PRECESSION MODEL Z.M. MALKIN Pulkovo Observatory Pulkovskoe Ch. ... Corrections to adopted precession rate are usually computed from the linear trends in long-term time series of celestial pole offset (CPO), which are the differences between the measured and the theoretical coordinates of the celestial pole. ... CONCLUSIONS We have estimated the impact of GA on parameters of precession-nutation model derived from VLBI observations. ...

... The magnetic field of the Earth has been investigated by satellites for several decades now, and enough of it is known to model its average strength and shape during different levels of overall magnetic activity. Presently the most used empirical global magnetic field models are the Tsyganenko models (1987, 1989) , referred to as T87 and T89, respectively, although even these consist of several submodels. ... Earth's magnetic field from T89c model during Kp=2 for different seasons. ... Res. ...

... Lightcurves of two satellites of Saturn, namely Hyperion (S7) and Phoebe (S9), were modeled using algorithms and programs developed for calculat­ ing the rotational dynamics and constructing theoretical lightcurves of planetary satellites. ... The problem of fitting an observed lightcurve with the model one is solved by varying the initial data and values of the parameters of the problem. ... The value of the MLCE calculated for the deduced initial data and values of the parameters is close to zero....

... Abstract: We present an extensive study of the radiative transfer in dusty galaxies based on Monte Carlo simulations. ... We have explored the dependence of A_l on a conspicuous set of quantities (Hubble type, inclination, dust optical thickness, dust distribution and extinction properties) for a large wavelength interval, ranging from 1250A to the K band, thus finally providing a comprehensive atlas of dust extinction in galaxies, which is electronically available. ...
