Next: Prior Models Up: Prior Models and the Previous: Bayesian Paradigm . The observed image differs from the true brightness distribution in having been blurred and encountering statistical noise in the recording process. ... Let us describe the noise models. ... This model can be approximated, at least for high brightness values, by the Gaussian distribution . ... The noise model we will use in this paper is Poissonian; see Molina and Ripley (1989) for the use of robust Gaussian noise models. ...

Next: Star Formation Rate and Up: No Title Previous: Calculation of Evolutionary Tracks . To start calculations, we choose the distributions of the initial binary parameters: the mass of the primary ZAMS component, , binary mass ratio, , orbital separation a . ... whereas the mass ratio distribution is not. ... The zero assumption often made is that the mass ratio distribution has a flat shape, that is binaries with a high mass ratio occur as frequently as those with equal masses. ...

On the Metallicity-Color Relations and Bimodal Color Distributions in Extragalactic Globular Cluster Systems by M. Cantiello and J. P. Blakeslee . Many observations on globular cluster systems (GCS) show bimodal distributions in color and metallicity space. ... Based on their simulation study, (V-H) and (V-K) are confirmed to be good colors for revealing unbiased bimodal metallicity distributions in GCS. ...

An investigation of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) source and possible radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1), PKS 2004-447, is presented. ... Analysis of a non-contemporaneous, low-resolution optical spectrum suggests that the narrow-line region (NLR) is much more reddened than the X-ray emitting region suggesting that the gas-to-dust ratio in PKS 2004-447 may be very different than in our own Galaxy. ...
