... A photometric analysis was made of the simulated images using two of the widely available reduction programs, ROMAFOT (Buonanno et al. 1983) and DAOPHOT (Stetson 1987). ... The rebinned and expanded image gave better results (Fig. 7b), with the smallest errors in the order of = 0.04. ... Similarly to ROMAFOT, the image with the Moffat PSF gave significantly better results than the image generated with the Tiny Tim PSF; the errors in the magnitudes of the brighter stars were around = 0.02. ...

. XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . omdetect (omdetect-5.14.2) [???] . Meta Index / Home Page These parameters are computed using second-order moments, again following the method that sextractor uses. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2008-10-22

The principal designation is the name, amongst the different possible names, chosen to identify the object because it is considered as the most reliable to cross-link to other databases or archives (eg. ... We recommend that authors of tables or catalogues identify their objects with the principal name, the celestial position plus possibly a name specific to the context (for example in a paper studying 3C sources use also the 3C name). ... HyperLeda . ...

Region markers can be moved, resized, rotated, zoomed, deleted, and can change geometric type. ... For example, markers placed on astronomical catalog positions should be fixed so that one cannot accidentally move them off the specified position. ... Parameters can be fixed using the fix option of the regions public access point (for fixing classes of markers) or by means of a fix keyword in the definition of an externally loaded marker. ... In the command: echo "regions fix all -position -size" | ...

... The package AMPLE (Adaptable Minor Planet Ephemerides) is dedicated to solving a number of problems concerning minor planets with the aid of IBM-type personal computer. ... Obtaining selection of orbital elements and/ or photometric parameters of minor planets in conformity with imposed restrictions. ... The orbital elements of all minor planets used in AMPLE for 2015 have been determined in IAA on the ground of available observations in the catalogue of observations of the Minor Planet Center. ...

... The orbits as follows are considered: INTERBALL Tail Probe (IB_TAIL) & Auroral Probe (IB_AUR), GEOTAIL (NASA/ISAS), and POLAR (NASA). ... The situation investigation aim is to select the following favourable spatial positions (FSP) : . ... FSP3 : That part of the FSP1 & FSP2 time intervals, which corresponds to the magnetic conjugations of the any couple of the considered spacecraft. ... The polar diagram plot . ... The geocentric distance (GCD) of the 4 spacecraft as a function of the time. ...

... All the parameters provided in this database have been obtained using the the MIRIAD ( Sault et al. 1995 ) task MBSPECT . MBSPECT makes a spectrum of the velocity (or frequency) axis of a cube. The spectrum is beam-weighted, over the width specified, for the other image axes. ... Robust parameters are calculated by using an algorithm which minimises the mean absolute deviation of the flux-weighted velocities. mask= This specifies the x-axis ranges to be excluded from any continuum fit. ...

In this chapter we will consider an example of visual expert system written on the Actor Prolog language. ... There are a lot of methods of oil field bed stimulation that increase output of the oil production: thermal, physical-chemical, gas, microbiological, and others. ... Fig. ... The Top-Most diagram consists of three blocks: the "Describe parameters of hydrocarbon field" block, the "Check adaptability of existed methods of oil production" block, and the "Display solution" block. ... Gas methods. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...
