... A data set contains a science frame, all its associated raw calibration frames and the master calibration frames created by combining and processing the raw calibration frames. ... Either one creates a MIDAS catalogue which contains the names of all single calibration frames to be combined in to the master frame, or, in the case of pipe line reduction, one use the Association Table. ... The names of single calibration frames are however also available in the Association Table. ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

... In the presence of only uniform magnetic field B , the motion of a charged particle can be described with gyration about the guiding center and motion along the field line. ... In the precence of both magnetic and electric fields, the equation of motion for charged particle (mass m, charge q) is m d v /dt = q ( E + v x B ). ... Because v is independent of the mass and sign of the charge, it is the same for negatively and positively charged particles, and does not create electric current. ...

. The exec statement causes the command specified as its argument to be executed in place of the current shell without creating a new process. For example: exec zmail -visual . This runs just the zmail program without a shell. When you quit the application the current shell also exits.

... Data Reduction Guide . ... Please note that all the instructions herein are specifically for the DIS RED chip, the same goes for the BLUE chip, just redo everything but with filenames having "b's" in them instead of "r's". Incidentally as best as I can tell the image region for the RED chip is [145:755,230:665] and for the BLUE chip it is [125:480,125:375] . ... At this point you need to load the ccdredd package. ... Oh, and the read-noise for both chips is 9.5 electrons. ...

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF DATABASE . It is a matter of common knoledge, that solar magnetic fields and, in particular, magnetic fields of sunspots, play important role in many solar events.
