... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

Next: HST Paper Products: A New Way to Look at HST Data . ... After providing on-the-fly re-calibration of HST data to archive users, ST-ECF has embarked on a new project aiming at grouping, cosmic ray cleaning and drizzling images taken by most HST instruments. ... The production of the missing jitter files combined with the extraction of additional engineering parameters will greatly enhance the homogeneity and the scientific value of the entire archive. ... 1995, HST Data Handbook, STScI, 107 . ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...

... A diagram of the output register of the PlutoCCD CCD is shown in Figure 5-1 and illustrates the setup clock waveform and DC potentials for the last three pixels of the serial shift register (V f ), before it is collected in the Summing Well (V sw ), transferred to the Last Gate (V otg ), and then sampled by the output MOSFET, when the charge is dumped to the output node using the amplifier with a Voltage Reference (V ref ), Reset Gate (V rg ), and output drain (V dd ). ...

... CentralProcessor 0.11 documentation . ... Most of the time, these will be generated using the ACES footprint.py tool, and so all you need to specify are the footprint name, the position angle and pitch (separation of beams), and the frequency band you are observing in. ... If you have not loaded the ACES module, it is likely the footprint.py task will fail, and mosaicking will be disabled. ... User Parameters - Continuum Self-calibration .

Next: Parameters of the starburst Up: The Model Previous: Initial parameters of compact . ... If the rate of accretion from one star to another is sufficiently high (e.g., the mass transfer occurs on a timescale a few times shorter than the thermal Kelvin-Helmholz time for the normal companion) or the compact object is engulfed by a giant companion, the common envelope (CE) stage of the binary evolution can set in (see Paczynski 1976; van den Heuvel 1983). ...
