In version 2 of the data reduction, we include frames where there is some visible scattered light, but where the background is still reasonably low (not more than a few times the minimum background). ... Briefly, the scattered light subtraction was done by registering the bright and dark images, subtracting the dark from the bright to remove the source, smoothing to remove any residual sources left over after the subtraction, and subtracting this smoothed sky image from the bright frame. ...

... 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. ...

In this gallery are many images of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies which have recently been discovered and analyzed. ... The central surface brightness of this galaxy is 24.28 . Malin 2 This galaxy is another huge disk galaxy with a scale length of 15 kpc and a redshift of 15000 km/a. The high surface brightness knot in one of its spiral arms actually has the same color, luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width as the entire Large Magellanic Cloud . ... Truly it is a Low Surface Brightness Galaxy. ...

... self-absorption - the absorption of light shining on an object by a process similar to that which produced the light originally; if a cloud emits less light than it absorbs from other clouds behind it, this net loss of light, termed self-absorption , causes the foreground cloud to appear darker than the background field (the term is from spectroscopy, where small absorption dips sometimes occur in larger emission lines, making the latter look as if it is absorbing part of itself) . ...

... The formation of multiple images of a distant quasar by the gravitational lensing effect of a foreground galaxy may be very simply, and faithfully, accounted for by a wine glass experiment. Figure 1. In the wine glass experiment, a bright compact light source (at the top of the photo) serves as a distant quasar. The wine glass on the table distorts the light rays from the "quasar" and produces a caustic having with a triangular shape (see enlargement in Figure 3 ). ...
