... 3600 seconds of data with 1 second integrations. 32 bits were saved. 60 seconds of 1 millisecond integrations. 16 bits were saved. ... 3600 sec average of 1 second spectra shows any birdies (.ps) ( .pdf ) . ... Black in polA, red is polB. Top plot is band0, center plot is band1, bottom plot are both spectra with the 60 Mhz offsets of the mixers. ... The average spectra over each data set was computed and then used to normalize each spectra before computing the total power. ... Middle plot. ...

... We now consider estimation of count rates for objects with stellar, power law, and emission line spectra. To estimate the number of electrons collected from a point source of apparent visual magnitude V, one can use the equation: . ... If one knows the spectral index a (which is zero for a source with a flat continuum), V + AB_nu can also be calculated as the monochromatic Oke system magnitude at the corrected mean wavelength of the filter: . ... 6.3.3 - Count Rates for Emission Line Sources . ...

Meta Index / Home Page / Usage and Examples Here is a typical example of running arfgen based on a spectrum of a point source: . arfgen spectrumset=spectrum.ds detmaptype=psf . ... The effective area, filter transmission and quantum efficiency curve are included in the ARF. ... Corrections are applied for any CCD gaps or source region area falling outside the field-of-view or observing window but not for bad pixels or bad columns. ...

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. ...

... The generation of simulated sources whose physical properties are well understood is useful in assessing the functionality of point source analysis software. Qpsim is an IRAF/PROS task which will generate events from sources of given intensity, shape, and position and either overlay them on a flat background in a new QPOE file or inject them into an existing QPOE file. ... The simulated data can be a useful tool in calibrating point source analysis software. ...

... It was discovered during 1970's that radiation from electrical power transmission lines is one source of whistler-mode waves in the magnetosphere . Most of the world's power systems use 50 Hz or 60 Hz, but their harmonics in the kHz range (due to mechanical imperfections, nonlinear loads, etc.) can be radiated by transmission lines and leak into the magnetosphere with sufficient intensity to stimulate wave growth and emission generation, much like the VLF transmitter signals. ...
