... Most people that are interested in supernovae use whatever telescopes they can get access to, but researchers at certain colleges and universities are able to access specialized telescopes like NASA?s Chandra X-ray Observatory . It?s a telescope that orbits the Earth and that has a specialized purpose of being able to observe X-ray emissions from supernovae, clustered galaxies and the materials around black holes. ... super@supernovae.net . ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

The "ring of fire" seen by satellite cameras around the polar caps (picture below) is probably created by electrons leaking from the tail's plasma sheet, whose magnetic field lines form a somewhat imperfect trap. ... One possible explanation involves the close association between auroral arcs and electric currents which flow along field lines between the ionosphere and distant space ( Birkeland currents ). ... That produces an extra resistance to the flow of current. ...

The left mouse button controls the creation and manipulation of region markers or cursors. ... Text When a marker type of selected, new markers of that type can be created using the left mouse button. The current default marker type is displayed below the menu. ... Set Default Marker Name (and Color) . ... Reset the fix parameter state of currently existing markers to match the global state set by the -fix command switch or by the Edit Global Fix Params For New Markers option in the Markers menu. ...

... Science . ... Science Users Information > Data Handling and Products > Data Reduction FAQ > How can I run the pipeline when there are no bright objects in the individual image? ... Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... The default use of the visir_img_combine recipe of the VISIR pipeline is with the "ref" option set to false. ... The VISIR pipeline will create the combination of the nodded images using the ESO SEQ CUMOFFSETX and ESO SEQ CUMOFFSETY offset information in the fits file headers. ...
