Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

... To plot the data (and model, here xitau.model), I have read the model, computed the model values for the ASTROMETRY, and used Plot|ASTROMETRY to produce the ASTROMETRY plot widget. ... First, plot the data and with Util|Ellipse and the mouse buttons interactively define an apparent ellipse to fit your data as best as you can. ... Under Util|Orbit, there is a Thiele-Innes procedure to estimate the orbital elements using your apparent ellipse and Kepler's laws! ... Back to tour page . ...

... Circles are used to depict the source positions. ... A optional ID label can also be displayed alongside the circle, corresponding to the row num- ber of that source in the input source list. ... These circles are in fact DS9-type regions, which can be written out to a le for future use (for example, when running a later DS9 session) by setting withregionfile to true, and specifying the desired le name via the regionfile parameter. ... This is a text le containing region descriptions for each source...

... At Keck we use the graphical tool sky to plan observations and to control the telescope. ... The user controls the telescope by clicking on stars and an overlayed view of the instrument detectors. ... To point the telescope, the sky user selects a pointing origin with the mouse and then drags and rotates the instrument field until the desired orientation appears on the display. ... To point the telescope, the sky user specifies two points: a sky location and a detector location . ...

... To run the <LAYER> version of the example, select: flower.htm . ... However, if the page had several layers with absolute positions, and you wanted to place another layer in a relative position to one of the existing layers, you could use inline JavaScript to calculate the value for LEFT or TOP . ... In this example, there is really no need to use inline JavaScript to position the last flower layer, since you could just let the TOP value default to its natural value, as in the other flower layers. ...

You can specify whether to automatically open the console when a JavaScript error occurs or to display a dialog box for each JavaScript error. ... To open a dialog box each time an error occurs, add the following line to prefs.js : user_pref("javascript.classic.error_alerts", true); . ...

Many entry fields permit sexagesimal entry (h:m:s.s or :':"). ... Sexagesimal entry is flexible in that you can specify one to three fields, as you desire. ... Position entry widgets assume that a single field is decimal hours or degrees (h.h or . ... You may specify one to three fields: . ... Note: sexagesimal offsets and durations are entered in the same fashion, but a single field is decimal arc-seconds or seconds ('.' or s.s) and two fields are (arc) minutes and seconds (':"." or m:s.s). ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

... Next, the screen displays "Press 0 to align or Mode for Menu." Press "0" if you wish to begin Automatic alignment (or Easy Align, depending on your telescope model), or press Mode if you wish to choose a manual alignment method ("Automatic Alignment" displays, and you can press MODE to go through the menu to find other alignments). ... Note: If you press the "?" key while "Ctr Brightest Star" displays, the alignment star that AutoStar has chosen will display. ... Alignment successful" displays. ...

... The dayside auroral precipitation consist of magnetosheath related boundary layer precipitation, and plasma sheet related BPS/CPS precipitation (extensions of the nightside precipitation regions). ... For example, the much lower fluxes from the LLBL region when compared to the cusp are compensated by the bidirectional electron beams found in the LLBL: the precipitating energy fluxes in the LLBL and the cusp are not that different. ... directly through the cusp and plasma mantle . ...
