... If finddead =Y, embadpixfind looks for too dark pixels, rows and columns too. ... The maxratio parameter avoids detecting 'grey' pixels, rows or columns on observations with high statistics. Whatever findbright and finddead , dark and bright columns and rows are always searched for together in order of decreasing significance (either positive or negative). This avoids finding spurious bright columns/rows next to very dark ones, and vice-versa. ...

... Archives . ... I?ve copied below the text of an ISBA announcement for the first workshop in a new series addressing Bayesian methods for machine learning. It builds on the model of the earlier well-known ?Bayesian case studies? workshops, where just a few applications are featured at each workshop, with the format tailored to produce a lot of back-and-forth between application scientists and statisticians. ...

... A new IRAF task has been developed that automatically identifies linear (line-like) features in an image or set of images. ... In order to automatically detect linear features, the first step is to select pixels in the image (Fig. 1 , left panel) that fall within a given data value range. ... Another aspect of extended linear features is that the image space pixels that describe them are in some way adjacent to one another and have a minimum and maximum length. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

... Statistic files are managed using file generation sets and scripts in the ./scripts directory of this distribution. ... Each valid update appends a line of the following form to the current element of a file generation set named peerstats : . ...

Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared spectroscopy has been obtained for 15 carbon-rich protoplanetary nebulae (PPNe) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and for two other such stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Of these 17 PPNe, the unidentified 21 Ўўm feature is strong in 7 spectra, weak in 2 spectra, and very weak or questionable in 4 spectra. ... The remaining two objects show typical carbon-rich PPNe spectra with no 21 Ўўm features. ...
