The aim of this section of the course is to enable you to use simple computer programs to solve a variety of common astronomical tasks. ... I have (somewhat arbitrarily) decided to use Python for this course, because it seems to be gaining popularity fast for astronomical data handling, and because some of you will have encountered it at the ATNF course. ... We've put Python (plus all relevant libraries) on the Stromlo Linux computers moron and maggot. ... Now log in to moron (or maggot). ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

... Computing the area lost to bright pixels declared on-board is another matter. It depends on energy, through the bright pixel level. If the telescope's attitude were to vary significantly (more than the PSF) with time, then it should be considered using X,Y (attitude corrected) as coordinates for CCDBKG, since the optical background from stars would follow the attitude variations. ... The subroutines CTI_CORR and ENERGY only call the CAL routines CAL_mosCTIcorrection and CAL_gainCorrection. ...

Comment on J0513-2159 . Our image shows an extension to about 5 mas SE from the brightest feature. The EVN 8 GHz image by Dallacasa et al. (1998), with about five times larger resolution, shows an extension from the brightest feature roughly opposite to our direction. As noted by Dallacasa et al. (1998), the structure detected has a highly inverted spectrum, which, together with the reported variability in the source, could explain the structural disagreement. ...

... May 17, 1999 . How to Search for Aliens . Credit: SETI@home , UC Berkeley SETI Team . Explanation: "Mom, can I use our computer to search for aliens?" Last week, the SETI@home project released free software that enables many home computers to search for signals from intelligent extra-terrestrials . ... The resulting software can work as a screensaver and so after down load ing a chunk of data, will only search for alien signals when the computer is otherwise idle. ... About APOD > . ...

... In order to obtain a quantitative estimate of the accuracy and reliability of our data reduction procedures and results, we have performed a data reduction pipeline based on the following steps: i) define a set of simulated HST-like images with synthetic globular cluster stellar distributions, which provide the ``true'' data for comparison; ii) convolve these images with appropriate assumptions of PSF and noise in order to construct simulated `` observed '' ...
