... It consists of two energy-angle analyzers EA-2 and EA-3 for low energy particles, and two identical oppositely directed time-of-flight (TOF) analyzers EM-1-1 and EM-1-2 for high energies. ... Analyzers of low energy charged particles (EA-2 and EA-3). ... The instruments allow to measure simultaneously in eight angular sectors evenly distributed in the angle 2 perpendicular to the satellite rotation axis, and sequentially in 7 energy intervals for each angular sector. ... Interval . ...

ION AND ELECTRON ENERGY DETECTOR PAN-2 . ... The energy and angular distributions of charged particles can bring further information on the nature and spatial scales of magnetospheres processes. ... It permits the fast measurements of energy and angular parameters of charged particles in the range 40eV-40keV. ... The sensor unit is an electron electrostatic, axially symmetrical, toroidal analyzer. ... The energy range for both types of charged particles must stepped according to the logarithmic scale. ...

COS Instrument Handbook for Cycle 24 . ... Cosmic Origins SpectrographInstrument Handbook for Cycle 24 > Chapter 5: Spectroscopy with COS > 5.9 COS Spectroscopy of Extended Sources . ... COS Spectroscopy of Extended Sources . COS spectra of extended objects can have significantly lower resolution than those of point sources, depending on the spatial distribution of the source. ... A similar situation arises when multiple point sources fall within the aperture. ...

... The low energy plasma composition spectrometer AMEI-2 is built to be able to find in the low energy range of the phase space (E, q, j) and separate the fluxes of the major ion species in the magnetotail - H+, He++, He+ and O+, and analyse their energy and angular distributions. ... Electrostatic angular scanning in one direction and the use of the spin of the satellite to sample the other angle give the ability to measure 2-D distributions for each ion specie several times per spin. ...

... The task calculates an average RMF over the spatial region used to extract the source spectrum. ... Essentially a grid is placed over the source region and the redistribution parameters calculated at each point. ... By means of command line parameters the averaging may be performed assuming that the flux distribution is that of the point spread function (PSF), a flat uniform distribution or it may be defined explicitly by supplying the task with an image containing the source region. ...

Next: Summary of reduction Up: Echelle Reduction Previous: Saving the Data . In the present version we will be concerned with the standard configuration of CASPEC, the Cassegrain Echelle Spectrograph which is in operation at the Cassegrain focus of the ESO 3.6 m telescope. ... In its standard configuration CASPEC uses a a 31.6 lines/mm echelle grating together with a 300 lines/mm grating cross disperser. ... The table shows the change in resolution with the order number. Table: Resolution . ...

... Archives . ... It refers to the spread in the measured energy of an incoming photon, and even astronomers often stumble over what it is and what it contains. ... The R edistribution M atrix F ile (RMF) is, at its most basic, a description of how the detector responds to incoming photons. ... The process of measuring the energy introduces a measurement error, which is encoded as the probability that incoming photons at energy E are read out in detector channels i . ...

... GSAOI Home . Instrument . ... The Gemini South Adaptive Optics Imager (GSAOI) is a near-infrared adaptive optics camera that will be used with the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system on the Gemini South 8-m telescope . ... Gemini's major instrumentation goal is to develop its Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) system for scientific use on Gemini South. ... Existing adaptive optics systems use a single natural guide star or artifical laser guide star to measure this image blur. ...

. The description of the instrument is divided into the following sections: . Optical Design . Cryogenics and Mechanics . Electronics and Software . Determination of Detector parameters . Some photos of the instrument . Other high resolution images .

... Calculated exposure times do not take into account instrument and telescope overheads. ... The reference area for the S/N is circular with a radius equal to FWHM of the Image Quality PSF at the airmass and wavelength of observation. ... begin{equation} \mathit{FWHM}_{\text{IQ}} = \sqrt{\mathit{FWHM}_{\text{atm}}^2(\mathit{s},x,\lambda)+\mathit{FWHM}_{\text{tel}}^2(\mathit{D},\lambda)+\mathit{FWHM}_{\text{ins}}^2(\lambda)} \end{equation} } \) . ... The Exposure Time is the product of DIT and NDIT . ...

... FTP access the basic models is here . ... Below, we put short descriptions of the used SED models for the photometric redshifts providing by the current server . ... The uniqueness of this model consists in expanding to the near IR (NIR) of Rocca-Volmerange and Guiderdoni's (1988) atlas of synthetic spectra with a revised stellar library, which includes parameters of cool stars. ...
