COS Data Handbook . ... The use of multiple FP-POS positions for each CENWAVE position of the COS FUV detector was strongly encouraged in the Cycle 19 Call for Proposals, Primer, and COS Instrument Handbook, as this improves the limiting S/N and allows the effects of flat-field artifacts to be minimized. ...

Next: Catalog Construction Up: Observations and Analysis Previous: Source Detections . ... It was assumed that the highest signal gives the most likely position of the source. ... Comparing the summed map with the maps from the individual energy ranges, the one which produced the smallest error box was chosen to represent the source position, as long as was greater than 4, a level chosen to reflect a reasonable degree of confidence in the detection. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ... Two point observation of the magnetopause motion: the INTERBALL project. ...

Pulkovo Database of Observations of Visual Double Stars . ... Catalog of relative positions of visual double stars, based on photographic observations performed since 1960 in Pulkovo on the 26-inch refractor (A.A.Kiselev, O.A.Kalinichenko, O.V.Kiyaeva, N.A.Shakht, L.G.Romanenko, I.S.Izmailov, O.P.Bykov, K.L.Maslennikov, E.A.Grosheva, D.L.Gorshanov), 2010 . ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

... Analysis of in-orbit data closely follow the CSL data analysis. Stars with known astrometric positions are matched with their image centroids. ... The measured position, the expected position and the offset between the measured and expected positions are calculated and written into a file. ... select catalogued positions for different observations/pointings (e.g. positions of objects in photometric sequence) . ... The new distortion map was generated from in-flight observations of the G153 field. ...

... Advises . Contact Advises . As an advise for amateurs we would like to underline: if it's possible, try to observe 3 asteroid positions per night and do not neglect to observe the Numbered Minor Planets in your telescope field of view as a "by product" of your observational programs. ... We think such estimations ought to be produced every morning after CCD observations of the moving celestial objects by observer himself. ...

When entering Identification section user should open the file with observed positions of objects which are to be identified (the file may be first created). ... Format of observations must coincide with that of optic observations in which they are published by Minor Planet Center (observed position may be presented as “accurate” or “approximate” one): . ... observed right ascension (in hours, minutes, and seconds of time (“accurate position”) or in hours and minutes (“approximate position”) . ...
