... The Science Operation Department is composed of Astronomers, Telescope Instruments Operators(TIOs) and Data Handling Administrators(DHAs). ... Astronomers have proposed several methods to quantitatively measure the amount of turbulence above the telescope, which the most common ones is Differential Image Motion Monitor (DIMM). In optical testing, the Hartmann test is the common method to test the quality of optical components. ... Hartmann mask consists of 48 lenses. ...

. Calibration of the GHRS . Some basic properties of the GHRS Digicon detectors are measured four times per year and checked for consistency with previous measurements. These measurements include background and some properties of the electronics.

Next: Basic Properties Up: R Coronae Borealis Stars Previous: Introduction . RCB stars are named after a star just visible to the naked eye in the constellation of Corona Borealis. RCrB was discovered by Edward Pigott, an English amateur astronomer, who had been observing a star in the `Northern Crown' for over a decade. ... Since 1795, other RCB stars have been discovered and their properties have been carefully observed. ...

... The improvement will be more pronounced in our crowded Wide Field Camera (WFC) images, and may be increased further through use of a more sophisticated method of combining the individual dithered images. Our analysis allows us to check for point spread function shape variations in the HST Planetary Camera (PC) field. ... In crowded field images, we are deriving information about the faint end of the luminosity function (LF) from the texture of the image background. ...

... About ATNF overview . ... Parkes radio telescope . ... Saxton & Wu (1999) presented calculations of the stability of the accretion shock which forms on the surface of an accreting magnetic white dwarf in AM Herculis type systems in an attempt to explain the observed properties of the quasi periodic oscillations sometimes seen in these systems. He showed that radiative cooling may cause thermal instability in the post-shock structure of the accretion flow settling onto a magnetic white dwarf. ...

... 7.1 Introduction to media types . ... 7.3 Recognized media types . 7.3.1 Media groups One of the most important features of style sheets is that they specify how a document is to be presented on different media: on the screen, on paper, with a speech synthesizer, with a braille device, etc. Certain CSS properties are only designed for certain media (e.g., the 'cue-before' property for aural user agents). ... For example, the 'font-size' property is useful both for screen and print media. ...

... Task epreject (1) corrects shifts in the energy scale of specific pixels which are due to high-energy particles hitting the EPIC PN detector during the calculation of the offset map and (2) suppresses the detector noise at low energies by statistically flagging events according to the known noise properties of the lowest energy channels. In the case of timing mode data, epreject also permits the flagging of soft flare events. ... Suppression of detector noise at low energies . ... Input Files . ...
