. This diagram shows a small table with three transparent cells and illustrates how their final background is determined. The table consists of two rows. Four (labeled) cells lie in the first row, but the second cell spans the first and second row. The first, third, and fourth cells of the second row are "empty". Each non-empty cell has a red background and a double black border. Each empty cell has the table's background color (specified as #ff0) as its own. Return to image.

... When creating a mosaic from a set of individual frames, the correct background offset for each frame must be determined for proper matching. In this paper we describe a method for constructing a mosaic from a set of individual frames by applying a minimization technique. ... Typically these are frames with some known defect (see ? ... Determining which frames to exclude from the final mosaic is critical, since one bad frame can create background offset errors that propagate throughout the mosaic. ...

Noise Equivalent Passband . ... Schade showed that the noise bandwidth was a good subjective measure of image quality. ... The mean square value of the gradient Q'(x) of the intensity distribution across and edge trace, within certain limits, normalized to unit intensity difference. ... It should be emphasized that subjective sharpness is dependent on the actual intensity step, or contrast, at an edge, as well as the intensity profile across the edge. ... Considering the case of a single bar target. ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

Triad, launched September 2, 1972, was an experimental spacecraft designed to move in an accurately predictable low-altitude orbit, allowing its position to be used as a reference point in navigation. ... While the "proof mass" thus moved in an accurately predictable orbit, the spacecraft itself was subject to air resistance and sunlight pressure, causing it to move slightly differently. ...

On 19/20 October 1995 we used GRIM II to attempt spectroscopy of the 2.3 micron CO absorption band in stellar clusters. ... Read Noise Our typical backgrounds in 60s were about 100 DN (about 500 e), and so for faint objects our noise is utterly dominated by the read noise of about 110 e. We can think of three ways to improve this situation: integrate longer; reduce the read noise; or implement multiple reads. ... Flats The quartz lamps were too dim for flats. ...
