Next: Smoothing spline interpolation Up: Background Definition Previous: Background Definition . Background points are used to approximate the observed background by a polynomial of two variables, sample and line numbers, as: . The background of flat field images is usually well modelled by a 2D polynomial of degrees 3 and 4 in variables sample and line respectively. ... For object exposures the signal--to--noise ratio is normally much lower, as is the actual background level. ...

... We have observed and studied critical supercurrents, Ic, in cross-type Nb-Cu/Ni-Nb junctions with Josephson layers prepared from diluted ferromagnetic alloys. For suitable values of the exchange energy in the ferromagnet and the F-layer thickness we have observed Ic(T) oscillation with vanishing Ic for the definite values of T and dF. ...

... He made observations of a supernova (literally: nova= "new star") in 1572 (we now know that a supernova is an exploding star, not a new star). ... Brahe's meticulous observations showed that the supernova did not change positions with respect to the other stars (no parallax). ... This was early evidence against the immutable nature of the heavens, although Brahe did not interpret the absence of parallax for stars correctly, as we discuss below. Brahe made careful observations of a comet in 1577. ...
