... Up: Data Analysis and Processing Techniques . ... Also, a method for quality control of CCD observations is suggested. ... Everyone who observes a celestial object using a CCD detects moving celestial objects as a ``by product''. ... We hope that our investigations may be useful for near-Earth space control and also for searches of the moving celestial objects through analysis of old and new CCD frames obtained at any amateur or professional astronomical observatory. ...

Peremennye Zvezdy ( Variable Stars ) 32 , No. ... We report on a new episode of decretion disk formation in the IGR J06074+2205 system. ... From a study of three HeI lines, the rotational velocity of the star was determined as km/s. After five years of spectroscopic monitoring of IGR J06074+2205 (Reig et al. 2010), a reversion from emission to absorption of the H line and hence disappearance of the equatorial disk was reported. ... Reig P., 2011, Astrophys.& ...

... Let us first find out which way -- rise in spectral resolution with some loss in the S/N ratio or increase in the S/N ratio with a fixed spectral resolution -- is better for the purpose of reduction of equivalent width determination errors. ... N -- number of counts for 1 ? ... line equivalent width, . ... Thus if the spectral resolution is managed to be increased (i.e. to decrease )without loss in the number of counts falling at 1 ?, the equivalent width measurement error is then proportional to . ...

However it is only now that a number of important X-ray astronomical applications of CCDs have reached critical development stages, so that this is an appropriate time to review the application of space-borne CCD instruments to cosmic X-ray astronomy, and highlight the particular concerns which are being addressed for X-ray instruments, as distinct from optical applications. ...

To get a fully-calibrated pulsar observation you need a recent Hydra cal, a calibration file which was obtained on a patch of sky with similar temperature to the pulsar, and of course the pulsar observation. Once you have reduced the Hydra Cals you should then reduce the calibration observation and then the pulsar. Establish the name of the cal file and pulsar observation. ... Reduce the pulsar observation when the cal is finished. ... The pulsar observation is now in standard archive format. ...

... Equivalent widths of Ca I absorption lines at 6122?, 6162?, and 6494? and Fe I at 6103?, 6200?, and 6574? were measured for several spectral standards. ... The spectral types of the target stars were determined by comparing source line ratios to those of standard stars. ... The uncertainty in the spectral type is about one and a half sub--types. ... Northwest of the belt, again all but one source shows Li in absorption, but only one star (out of 13 = 7.7%) shows an H emission line. ...

... Several attempts to discover the FICN signal in VLBI nutation series made during last years failed. ... We investigated several VLBI CPO series by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. It has been shown that there are several periodic signals with close amplitude around the expected FICN period without any prevailing one that can be reliably associated with the FICN. ... DATA ANALYSIS We analyzed several CPO series obtained in IVS analysis centers by means of spectral and wavelet analysis. ...

K-band Arcetri Obscured Supernova Search . What is the KAOSS Project? W hat is the KAOSS Project? Some recent surveys aimed at detecting Supernovae (SNe) in the optical have found that starburst galaxies do not show evidence for an enhanced SN rate, with respect to quiescent galaxies (Richmond et al. ... A similar result was obtained by Navasardyan et al. (2001) who looked for SNe in interacting galaxies, finding no evidence for correlations between SN rate and galaxy properties. ...
