... Next: Star Finding and Up: Image Restoration and Previous: Multiresolution and Astronomical . ... Design improvements continue to be made in the filter developed using mathematical morphology principles for the Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ) images. The purpose of this filter is to eliminate Galactic cirrus emission from extragalactic fields. ... With an appropriate normalization, the filter curve was applied to each pixel in the image to remove the Galactic cirrus. ...

The shutter is a two-blade mechanism used to control the duration of the exposure. A listing of the possible exposure times is contained in Table 2.3 . ... However, an exposure time shorter than the minimum allowed (0.11 seconds) is, instead, rounded up to this minimum value. ... The AP-17 always controls the shutter closing if the serial clocks are enabled during the exposure (CLOCKS=YES), which then has a minimum planned duration of 1 second, and exposures are rounded to the nearest second. ...

... Like the Lynxx and the ST-4, this camera has a preferred orientation with the telescope (see figure 4). ... Before taking images, the camera and the telescope have to be calibrated. ... This is the normal CCD camera image mode. The second method is the track and accumulate mode. In this mode, the camera takes several short images, and then adds them together to give an image that is comparable to the same total time image as taken by the grab function. ...

Figure: Removal of cosmic ray events on a CCD spectral exposure with different techniques: (A) original, (B) median filter, (C) recursive filter and (D) stack comparison. ... For comparison with non--linear filter techniques, Figure D shows removal of cosmic ray events from the spectral frame discussed above. ...

... After a brief leave in Bangalore to work on astronomy (and holiday in Nepal), Dave will be continuing in management positions within the ATNF. ... We have also hosted an observing project visit from a contingent of ATNF and CTIP vacation scholars, who observed h Carina with the new 12-mm system (see article elsewhere in this issue), observed new HIPASS galaxies, and studied interference from microwave ovens. ... Currently we are testing this system with a single antenna. ...

... COBE Hotspots: The Oldest Structures Known . ... Above are two microwave images of the sky, looking north and south of our galaxy's equator, based on data from NASA's COBE satellite.

The Agile ICC computer (nimble) contains a high-accuracy GPS-synchronized timer card that emits pulses that trigger readout of the Agile camera when run in external synch mode. ... The recommended configuration for Agile has no GPS receiver (see 1 PPS Vs. The Built-In GPS Receiver below). ... Using external 1 PPS with on a GPS receiver mode is not fully supported, in that the timer card's firmware has been programmed to assume a GPS, but the tech support person claimed it would work. ...

Radio Interferometry Principles . Radio Interferometry Signal Processing . ... A radio interferometer consists of a pair of directional antennas that are tuned to receive radio emissions from a source in a desired RF band. ... The antennas are pointed at the radio source of interest and are set up to receive the signal and process it into a form suitable for transmission to the correlator. ... In connected element interferometry, the digital signal goes directly to the correlator. ...

... Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4 . ... Forensic Logging of the requests made to the server . ... log_forensic_module . ... Logging is done before and after processing a request, so the forensic log contains two log lines for each request. ... Each log entry is assigned a unique ID which can be associated with the request using the normal CustomLog directive. mod_log_forensic creates a token called forensic-id , which can be added to the transfer log using the %{forensic-id}n format string. ...

. Two ultra-dense galaxies (insets) have been discovered orbiting larger host galaxies. The compact systems are thought to be the remnants of once normal galaxies that were swallowed by the host, a process that removed the fluffy outer parts of the systems, leaving the dense centers behind.
