Next: General CCF Components Up: Calibration Access and Data Previous: List of CAL Routines Contents . This section contains descriptions of the structure of CCF constituents. ... The calibration team of the SOC is also providing additional CCF components where required in conjunction with data that were generated with SciSim. ... These CCF components are generated on a need basis and are identical in structure to the real life components. ... Generation from Ground Calibration Data . ...

Data in GIPSY is stored in so called sets . A set consists of two components: an image component and a descriptor component. These components are stored in separate files, but in GIPSY they are always used together. The image data is stored in a `crystalline' structure with a virtually unlimited (up to 20) number of dimensions. ... Within a set subsets can be defined. ... The figure below shows the possible subset types in a three-dimensional set, a `` cube '': . ...

... In this section, we develop a physical model of the secondary as a disk that is centrifugally supported in the radial direction and hydrostatically supported in the vertical direction. We assume that the disk is vertically isothermal and well mixed. ... where is the mean molecular mass of the gas, is the orbital period at the outer edge of the disk in years, and all of the mass of the secondary has been assumed to be concentrated near its center, so the Keplerian approximation is valid. ...

... Among the objectives of Principal Components Analysis are the following. dimensionality reduction; љ . the determining of linear combinations of variables; љ . ... identification of groups of objects or of outliers. ... Finding a set of principal axes allows the objects to be adequately characterised on a smaller number of (artificial) variables. ... Reduction of dimensionality is practicable if the first new axes account for approximately 75 % or more of the variance. ...

... The axial support is provided by 78 air pistons. ... The transverse support is provided by 38 air pistons, supported by cantilevers from the mirror cell, that act on the mirror local center of gravity surface. ... The locations where the transverse mirror support forces should be applied to the mirror are listed in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 1. ... Figure 1: CAD drawing showing the 2.5-m primary mirror and the locations of the transverse support posts (black) and axial pneumatic pistons (blue...

Restored velocity field of NGC 157 in the reference frame rotating with the pattern speed overlaid on the H_alpha image of the galaxy. ... The line-of-sight velocity fields of gaseous clouds in galactic disks of NGC 157 were analyzed by the method of reconstruction of 3D vector velocity field --- three components of velocities. ...

Next: Results Up: High Resolution Measurements from Previous: Introduction . The first step in PSA is to Fourier transform the image and calculate the square modulus of the FT to generate the power spectrum, . ... Specifically, one excludes the very lowest frequencies where the large scale nonuniformities in the image have the greatest effect, and one limits the fit to a frequency range where the SNR is sufficiently high. ...
