... For example, as pointed out by Perlman et al. (1996b), the lack of a Ca II H & K break strength criterion in the 1 Jy, S4 and S5 samples of BL Lacs, has caused numerous objects to be misclassified as radio galaxies instead of BL Lacs (see also March? Browne 1995, 1996). ... While one may argue that some of these objects fall in the expanded region of the (H & K break strength, equivalent width) diagram that March? et al. (1996) allot to the BL Lacs, several, for example 1 Jy 1308+326, do not. ...

Next: CCD Scientific Performance Up: CCD Operation Previous: CCD Operation . A visible light photon releases only one electron-hole pair, and consequently many photons must be collected in each pixel for a measurable signal to be produced. ... This use as an imaging X-ray spectrometer requires that no more than one photon is incident on each pixel in any image frame, which imposes a requirement that image collection times be limited to ~seconds for typical astronomical applications. ...
