ID: CL Script for Applying CTE Loss to Output of Spectroscopic ETC . ... However, the STIS ETC calculations do not incorporate these CTE effects as yet. ... The output from this script should then be used to calculate the appropriate input flux level for a second run of the ETC, which will then yield output which is corrected for the CTE effect. ...

Next: Conclusions Up: Selection Effects Previous: Inconsistent (or Inconsistently Applied) . Another possible bias, present in this as well as all other surveys which use spectral indices based upon nonsimultaneous data in their selection process, is due to variability. ... In order to minimize the effect of non-simultaneous radio survey data upon our samples, we decided to expand the common definition of flat-spectrum radio sources to extend to (instead of 0.5). ...

... Radio telescope interferometers exhibit chromatic aberration effects. ... Reduction packages such as AIPS and AIPS++ will produce a beam pattern image for each frequency channel. This allows these packages to compute a spectral-line cube which has a pixel size (cellsize) independent of frequency. ... Because of this, Miriad produces cubes where the pixel size changes with frequency. ... The correct approach is to produce a cube in Miriad which does not have a variable pixel size. ...

This thread illustrates how to evaluate if your RGS observation is affected by pile-up; if so, how to deal with it in some special cases; and how to prevent it occurring. ... Pile-up will cause two coincident first order . ... Thus, pile-up may differ between RGS1 and RGS2 and may abruptly vary between CCD locations due to the nominal event pattern distribution variations over the detectors. ... Migration of photons from 1st to 2nd order (or from 2nd order to 3rd order) . ...

Down) observed and imaged the unusual near-Earth asteroid 2000PH during its close approach to the Earth around 27 July 2004. The observations were carried out remotely using the new 2m aperture Faulkes telescope situated on the 10,000-foot summit of Haleakala, on the island of Maui in Hawaii. ...

Going Deep with ALFA E-ALFA Ultra-deep field group February 17, 2004 Abstract The improved sensitivity, RFI excisions and baselines expected with ALFA will open a new area of high sensitivity observations for the Arecibo Telescope. There is a significant scientific interest in single sight-line observations to unprecedented depth with integration times up to about 100 hours per beam. ... The total proposed integration time is 35 hours per beam. ... Higher sensitivity to unresolved sources. ...

... In electron-positron colliders, effect of the lattice modification by opposing bunch focusing on the equilibrium radiation emittance is important at high values of the space charge parameter, so one should correctly evaluate this dynamic radiation emittance of the weak beam, which may differ a lot from the nominal emittance, already in the linear beam-beam force model. ... The linearized beam-beam force is equivalent to focusing insertion in linear lattice of the collider. ...

... It should be recalled that most (99.99 percent) of the energy is dissipated by single radiopulsars in the form of relativistic particles and low-frequency electromagnetic waves which are not observable. ... This gives rise to an interesting analog of the classical reflection or heating effect (Lipunov, 1980[ 97 ]; Lipunov and Prokhorov, 1984[ 110 ]; Harding, 1991[ 64 ]; Lipunov and Nazin, 1994[ 119 ]). ...
