... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

Target Acquisition Reference Information . ... In almost all cases where an onboard acquisition will not work (because the object is in a crowded field, or is variable, or is a moving target), it is sufficient to use an early acquisition to get a WFPC2 or FOC image a few weeks in advance of the GHRS observation. ... Explicit BRIGHT and FAINT limits may be specified if you desire, although there is an increased risk of a failed acquisition unless you are confident of those fluxes. ... MAPs . ...

Spectrometric complex of RATAN-600. ... There is a system of stable computer driven local oscillators that have accuracy about 10 to degree -8. ... Spectrometer driving system is accomplished with two DVK-4 computers and one IBM PC and make possible to develop radio line observations on the frequency band pass of the input low noise amplifiers ( LNA ): . ... The performance of spectrometric complex is controlled by program driving system ( PDS ) and the data gathering and recording system ( DGS ). ...

Next: Results of follow-up spectroscopy Up: Data reduction Previous: Reduction of the Calar . In the final spectra, redshifts and line fluxes are measured within MIDAS, applying Gaussian fitting to the emission lines. To determine redshifts for individual galaxies, averages are taken over the prominent individual emission lines (mostly H , H , [O III ] 4959,5007 ?) The line [O II ] 3727 ? ... For all spectra, the individual emission line fluxes of the H , [N II ] 6548,6583 ? ...

... Obviously, the size of the cavern is of the order of the Schwartzman radius. ... Thus, consideration of the inverse effect of pulsar radiation on the properties of accreting plasma makes the ejection possible even when the Schwartzman radius is smaller than the capture radius. ... If the cavern radius , the condition at its boundary can be written as . ... Apart from magnetic dipole radiation, the cavern may also contain relativistic particles (which are also reflected from the cavern boundary). ...

... The package AMPLE (Adaptable Minor Planet Ephemerides) is dedicated to solving a number of problems concerning minor planets with the aid of IBM-type personal computer. ... Obtaining selection of orbital elements and/ or photometric parameters of minor planets in conformity with imposed restrictions. ... The orbital elements of all minor planets used in AMPLE for 2015 have been determined in IAA on the ground of available observations in the catalogue of observations of the Minor Planet Center. ...

... Posts tagged ?parameter estimation? ... Leccardi & Molendi (2007) have a paper in A&A ( astro-ph/0705.4199 ) discussing the biases in parameter estimation when spectral fitting is confronted with low counts data. Not surprisingly, they find that the bias is higher for lower counts, for standard chisq compared to C-stat, for grouped data compared to ungrouped. ...

The determination of the detector parameters is based on sets of images of a spatially uniform-illumination scene (flatfield frames) and without any illumination (dark frames), putting a plug in place of the filter, taken at a series of exposure times. ... We interleave before and after each exposure time in the series of flatfield frames a set of reference images at an exposure time of 1 sec to determine the possible temporal variation of the illumination level. ...

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. ...
