Next: Implementation Up: Echelle Spectra Previous: Fitting the Blaze . Finally, the extracted orders, sampled at constant wavelength steps and corrected for the blaze effect, can be merged into a one dimensional spectrum which is suitable for further analysis. The merging љ algorithm computes a weighted average in the overlapping region of adjacent orders. The normalised weight is a linear ramp changing from 0 to 1 in the overlapping region for each of the adjacent orders. ...

... 09.11.2007 (VNY) Fixed a bug that could result in a crash of the task when processing crowded fields (SSC-SPR-3700); Restoring the omgsource flag when extracting the target spectrum: in the case when omgrism is called from the interactive tool omgsource the target spectrum shouldn't be extracted (fixing the SSC-SPR-3702); Added a parameter enabling the output of an additional region file that contains newly detected point-like sources (zero-order features); . ...

To be read in conjunction with Section 4.11 of the WFPC2 Instrument Handbook , -Version 4.0. ... 1 The second study found evidence that CTE loss for faint stars has increased with time (Whitmore, 1998). The primary observational consequence of CTE loss is that a point source at the top of the chip appears to be fainter than if observed at the bottom of the chip, due to the loss of electrons as the star is read out down the chip (see Figure 1 ). ...

An Ancient Universe: How Astronomers Know the Vast Scale of Cosmic Time . THE CHANGING UNIVERSE: EVOLUTION HAPPENS! . b) Changes in Stars . One of the great discoveries of modern science is that stars (like people) live only a measurable life-time and then die. Although the lives of the stars are enormously longer than the span of a human life, we can learn about the life story of the stars by studying them at many different stages in their life cycle, from birth to death. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... I think I will break from my usual format of Bad Astronomy/ Good Astronomy by saying that the way we define seasons currently is not strictly bad, but I feel (in my opinion!) that it could be better.

Now imagine breaking up the Sun's 46 degree up-and-down yearly swing into 1 day intervals. ...

We model the spectral chanages of late oxygen-rich Miras observed in different pulsation phases. From a combination of variable near-IR spectra and UKIRT spectrophotometry of the 9.7 \mu m silicate dust emission feature in different phases we study the influence of the changing atmospherical circumstances on the conditions in the circumstellar dust shell. ... A comparision with the modelling results for another long period Mira U Ori is also provided. ...
