The need of source separation methods in astronomy has led various adaptations of decomposition methods available. ... I rarely come up with a paper which gathered and summarized component separation methods applicable to astronomical data.

... A vector , that's what. ... Graphically, each stretch on the ground or velocity can be represented by an arrow in its direction, its length giving the magnitude--for instance, an arrow AB 200 mm (milimeters) long for the airplane's motion and another one BC 40 mm long, in the same direction, for the wind. ... Just as one can combine two vectors into one--their sum--so it is also possible to move in the opposite direction--given a single vector, find two vectors whose sum it is. ...

Q: Are the magnitudes in the ETCs AB or Vega magnitudes? ... Q: How is the signal to noise defined? A: In optical and infrared imaging, the applications display a signal to noise over the PSF area, which is computed in a circle of radius seeing/plate_scale. ... In optical imaging only, a second signal to noise is computed which is the signal to noise at the central pixel. ... A: The template spectra stored in the database are measured or simulated spectra covering different wavelength range. ...

The idea of component-oriented programming is that in the course of implementation of various software projects a programmer (or a programmers team) accumulates a library of reused software fragments that are used in different projects. ... To solve such problems there are some special syntax means in Actor Prolog that support component-oriented programming. ... A package in Actor Prolog is a set of classes linked by implication. ... Actor Prolog supports visual component-oriented programming. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...

Instrument Science Report OSG-CAL-97-06 Velocity Aberration Correction for Parallel Observations Colin Cox October 22, 1997 ABSTRACT The velocity aberration correction performed by the HST pointing control software is valid for the target direction only. ... For directions within 500 arcsec of the target the variation of the correction difference does not exceed 24 milli-arcsec. ... As HST orbits about the earth, the barycentric velocity and hence the velocity aberration correction varies. ...
