... 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 . ...

... Archives . ... Diab Jerius follows up on LOESS techniques б with a very nice summary update and finds LOCFIT to be very useful, but there are still questions about how it deals with measurement errors and combining observations from different experiments: . ... LOESS has been succeeded by LOWESS and, finally LOCFIT, which is the 800lb gorilla of local regression fitting. The LOCFIT algorithm uses local regression (i.e. fits over samples of the data) to generate smooth curves. ... Chandra Blog . ...

... Judged by their instrumental profiles, spectrometers fall into two basic classes---Lorentzian and Gaussian---with many other line profile functions (sinc functions, Voigt functions, Airy functions, etc.) falling into one of these two categories in some limit. We demonstrate that the Rayleigh, Sparrow, and Houston resolution criteria are of limited use compared to the ``equivalent width'' of the line profile. ... Rayleigh criterion. ... All of these functions have continuous higher derivatives. ...

... The value of tile-size, NW , may be thought of as a sixth coordinate axis in the chirplet transform parameter space - TF-area. Including this sixth coordinate axis provides us with a hierarchical (multi-resolution) CCT. ... Various 2- D slices through the multiresolution CCT may correspond to useful tilings of the TF plane with true parallelograms (true to the extent that the DPSS define a truly rectangular region in the TF plane). ...

An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE CHANGING UNIVERSE: EVOLUTION HAPPENS! . b) Changes in Stars . One of the great discoveries of modern science is that stars (like people) live only a measurable life-time and then die. Although the lives of the stars are enormously longer than the span of a human life, we can learn about the life story of the stars by studying them at many different stages in their life cycle, from birth to death. ...
