Detection technique . We are using ISIS , the optimal image subtraction method developed by C. Alard & R.H. Lupton, to search for SNe in our images. ... The second image shows the same subtraction, but after the convolution of the best image with ISIS: . ... For this reason, we are suggested to search for nuclear SNe with NICMOS on HST, to exploit its stable PSF, sensitivity and angular resolution to detect from space nuclear obscured SNe which might have been missed by ground-based surveys. ...

XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... A different approach is done via the setting withctisrcpos =Y: all event energy corrections do not use the actual RAWY coordinate but the corresponding RAWY location of the source ( SRCPOS ) as determined by the task epframes (either automatically or via setting withsrccoords =Y). ... The task epchain may be used with the setting ccds =4 withctisrcpos =Y to process only the CCD 4 where usually the bright source is located that causes the Out-of-Time events. ...

ALMA | ... In this section, we explain why we need to correct phase fluctuations and ALMA's strategy to do this. Rapid fluctuations will be corrected with water vapour radiometers (WVRs). The Cavendish Astrophysics Group was also a leading contributor to the ALMA prototype WVRs, which were put through their paces in tests at the Submillimeter Array (SMA). ... The Cavendish Astrophysics Group in partnership with the Onsala Space Observatory built two prototype WVRs for the ALMA project. ...

... In combining the data, it is assumed that the low resolution image better represents the short spacing data, whereas the high resolution best represents the fine structure. ... Key: out The output image. ... Key: factor The flux calibration factor. ... In practise, the calibration may not be perfect, and an extra calibration factor will be required to align the flux scales. "factor" gives the factor to scale the low resolution image to put it on the same flux scale as the high resolution image. ...

The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...
