... In this context, (or, in the time domain, l ) are no longer independent variables. They are treated like any of the other parameters: i.e. are assumed to be random variables to be estimated from the observations by fitting a model. ... The MIDAS TSA package contains just one such model, namely Fourier series (SINEFIT/TSA) . ... In the time domain, the most important parameters to be estimated from the data are the correlation length of and time lag between the input signals. ...

Russian SHAREABLE DATA CENTER Institute of Solar-Terrestial Physics SB RAS . ... Although their determination is based on the scattering process model, independent check-ups by rocket experiments have shown their correctness in experimental applications. ... Ionospheric data analysis, especially during strong disturbances, cannot be without some other kinds of diagnostic tools. ... The lack of data has always been a challange in this case. ...

... We assume that an instantaneous starburst occured in the region of the Galactic center, with half of the stars (in number) being formed in binaries. The total mass of the stars formed during the starburst was taken to be , as indicated by the Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) analysis. ... In fact, the number of stars in IRS 16 estimated by Tamblyn & Rieke (1993) is uncertain within a factor of 2, but this is actually of no importance as long as we only use relative numbers of different X-ray source species. ...

... The analysis of NICMOS polarization images is aimed at determining the Stokes' Parameters, and from those the polarization angle and degree for each pixel. NICMOS Camera 1 and Camera 2 each contain three polarizers, whose principal axes of transmission are separated by 120 degrees. ... The images in the three filters need to be compared, in order to produce the Stokes' parameters. ... The Stokes parameters can then be combined to yield the polarized intensity, I p: . ...

... subroutine CAL_getEncircledEnergy(E, theta, Radius) . E: energy in eV for which the enclosed energy value will be computed . theta: field angle in arcsec which defines the position of the PSF barycenter and the center of the circular extraction window. Radius: radius specification in mm of the window in which the enclosed energy has to be calculated. It is assumed that the extraction window is circular and perfectly centered on the PSF barycenter. ...

... A Web browser with Java support and an account to establish a secure Internet HTTP connection to the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), is everything needed in order to use the new Control Center System (CCS). Then full access to the telemetry of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is given (Figure 2). A public version of CCS is also available. ...
