... 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. ...

... This program was created for correlating chosen regions in the series of fts images. ... Chosen regions' . ... In this section the program counts the integral for each region of the grid for each image. ... As a matter of fact, the integral is total brightness of the region and it is counted by 'int_tabulated' IDL function. ... In addition, the program will show the count of the regions which correlate with the corresponding region (the brighter region means the bigger count) and its contour. ...

. To remove a directory that is a symbolic link that points to another directory use the command: rm directory_name . Notice that the directory does not need to be empty and you do not have to use the rmdir command. You are not really removing a directory, just a named symbolic link that points to the "real" directory.

... The blue bubble is a planetary nebula known as Abell 33. Planetary nebulae are created when an aging star blows away its outer layers of gas in a gigantic cosmic bubble. ... Creating the illusion of the cosmic diamond is a bright star along the rim of the nebula. ... The star is about 700 light years away, that is halfway between Earth and the nebula. ... At the centre of the ring, you can see the remains of the star that created this planetary nebula, now a white dwarf . ...

... Figure 3 shows several tails resulting from trap 2-637. ... The solid line shows a simple exponential decay, as described in our idealized model. It appears that the behavior of the bright traps has been relatively constant with time, and the simple exponential decay provides a fairly good fit to the data. ... What about the dark tails seen just above some of the traps? ... For example, the dark tail decay rate for trap 2-337 is only about 3% while the bright tail decay rate is 19%. ...

... Behemoth black hole found in an unlikely place . ... Astronomers create movie of M87's jet . The movie, created from more than 13 years of Hubble observations, promises to give scientists a better understanding of how black holes shape galaxy evolution. ... Astronomers have assembled, from more than 13 years of observations from NASA s Hubble Space Telescope, a series of time-lapse movies showing a jet of superheated gas 5,000 light-years long as it is ejected from a supermassive black hole. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... Last week's Snack talked about how black holes can affect the environment around them in such a way as to be very bright . ... It's a common misconception that black holes always have matter swirling into them. ... As this matter gets closer and closer to the black hole it piles up and a large, fairly flat disk forms. This is called the accretion disk , because matter from this disk accretes (that is, falls in) on the black hole. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

What will happen when the fragments hit Jupiter? ... All the fragments will enter Jupiter's atmosphere at an angle of 42 degrees from the vertical and impact near a latitude of 44 degrees south, but on the back side of the planet as seen from Earth (about 10 degrees in longitude behind the edge of Jupiter, as seen from Earth). ... Any body moving through an atmosphere is slowed by atmospheric drag, by having to push the molecules of that atmosphere out of the way. ...
