... The SF does not contain all the information required to process the ODF with the SAS. odfingest extends the SF with data extracted from the instrument housekeeping data files and the calibration database. It creates a new summary file: the SAS ODF Summary File (SOSF). ... The user need not have write access to the ODF directory. odfingest uses the parameter outdir to learn where to write the SOSF. ... Alternatively, the name of the SOSF can be passed to odfingest with the parameter summaryfile . ...

... DataљStructures . ... WCSLIB data structures . The WCSLIB routines are based on data structures specific to them: wcsprm for the wcs.h ,c routines, celprm for cel.h ,c, and likewise spcprm, linprm, prjprm and tabprm, with struct definitions contained in the corresponding header files: wcs.h , cel.h , etc. ... In particular, wcsset() analyses the FITS WCS keyvalues provided, fills the required values in the lower-level structs contained in wcsprm, and invokes the setup routine for each of them. ...

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 . ...

... overview of pyQC . ... output used by . ... All pyQC scripts and modules share a similar structure. Python offers to group functions, classes, etc. into modules which can be imported by different scripts. ... In order to avoid confusion if names are used by different (especially external) modules, the QC scripts use the 'from' statement only for pyQC modules, i.e.: . ... For other modules, the simple 'import' statement is used: . ... Python modules are also used for keeping script configuration. ...

... Calculations of at least two runs with different values of a parameter are required in order to discover to what extent the results depend on the , if at all. ... In order to study how the final statistical distributions depend on the initial functions, the method of Green functions is used. ... Then we can restore any distribution on this parameter (with a certain accuracy) by summing the results for each interval with the appropriate weight. ...
