Instrument Science Report WFC3 2008-07 WFC3 TV3 Testing: UVIS Channel Glints Thomas M. Brown Apr 14, 2008 ABSTRACT In the previous thermal vacuum (TV) campaign of 2007, it was discovered that the UVIS channel was subject to strong glints (containing ~1% to 30% of the source energy) due to reflections between the CCD surface and the CCD housing. ... These glints contained anywhere from 1% to 30% of the source energy and spanned thousands of pixels. ... 2001, ISR WFC3 2001-17). ...

... The SN 1998bv discovered on April 6, 1998 in the blue compact galaxy HS 1035+4758 is the second supernova observed in a low-mass galaxy with intense SF burst. ... According to its characteristic spectrum, SN 1998bv is a type II supernova with estimated peak absolute brightness M 16.3. The very slow fading of its brightness suggests that the SN was discovered at the Plateau phase, 20-30 days after the peak of the light curve. The most probable classification of SN 1998bv is regular SN II-P. 3. ...

Next: BASIC PROPERTIES Up: R CORONAE BOREALIS STARS Previous: INTRODUCTION . RCB stars are named after a star just visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Corona Borealis. RCrB was discovered by Edward Pigott (1797), an English amateur astronomer, who had been observing a star in the `Northern Crown' for over a decade. ... Since 1795, other RCB stars have been discovered and their properties have been carefully observed. ...

... The Galactic low-mass X-ray binary GS 2023+338 was discovered during the burst on May 22, 1989 with the Japanise satellite Ginga (aka Galaxy). The flux reached 17 crabs (this unit of flux measurement is an bright X-ray source, Crab Nebula) at 10-35 keV. ... No other radio telescope worldwide carried out multi-frequency measurements. ... Upon 14 days the radio flux fell below the detection level at the RATAN-600 in relation to the decrease of the X-ray flux. ...

A team of U.S. and German astrophysicists have made the first ever detection of X-rays coming from a comet. ... Following the initial detection, the team reported repeated X-ray emissions from the comet over the next 24 hours. ... One preliminary theory is that X-ray emission from the Sun was absorbed by a cloud of gaseous water molecules surrounding the nucleus of the comet, and then were re-emitted by the molecules in a process physicists call "fluorescence." ...
