... In asmooth at present sources can be removed and the local background interpolated over their positions. ... To create such a map, the user should supply asmooth , via the parameters withsrclistset and srclistset , with a list of sources produced by either eboxdetect or emldetect . ... For each source, asmooth calculates an elliptical boundary, being the locus at which the point spread function (PSF) of the source decreases to some constant value times the value of the local background. ...

... In the three intervening decades there have been many observations of this diffuse emission over a wide range of x-ray energies. ... During the 1970's researchers at the University of Wisconsin, lead by Dr. William Kraushaar, used a series of sounding rocket flights to map the diffuse x-ray emission from the sky in several bands. ...

... 314 Astronomical Data Analysis Software and Systems XIII, eds. F. Ochsenbein, M. Allen, & D. Egret (San Francisco: ASP), 812 . ... Abstract: The calculation of flux upper limits in the source-free ("background") regions of photon-limited images is complicated by instrumental and statistical modeling and requires non-trivial computational effort. ... The principal component in this is the time taken to pre-process and handle the 30 GB of RASS data rather than the calculation of each upper limit. ...

... 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. ...
