... Previous: A Posteriori Guidance for Astronomical Images . ... We present an original algorithm for the recognition of anomalous events in a CCD frame (i.e., cosmic hits, bad pixels etc.) The algorithm is able to distinguish between these events and real features by comparing the standard deviation and the kurtosis of a synthetic PSF, whose width is given by the user, and the corresponding values in a running window, whose size is chosen by the user, in the actual frame. ...

As a result, a common magnitude scale (contour lines on the maps above, or color scale on Fig.1) will poorly display the short-duration events in a signal. Normalizing each line of the map (fixed duration) so it has unit variance (in effect dividing the energy map by the mean energy spectrum) at each duration restores more details of small-scale activity (Fig. ...

Next: Coordinate Systems Up: IRAF/PROS Previous: Other Types of Files . A few new features and enhancements to the standard IRAF system have been introduced with the PROS software: . ... Default compound extensions are used by the PROS tasks when no extension is given for the output file name. Most PROS tasks allow the output file name to be defaulted, with the convention that the output file name will be composed of the input `root' name, plus the default extension specific to the task. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

Though Flint knows the interface definitions (i.e. number, type and intent of each argument) of standard FORTRAN functions, it is desirable for users to build and use a file (or files) describing the interfaces to their own library. ...

While these interface definitions could be input along with normal source files, preceding the interface file with the -l (library) switch has the advantage that the source of this file does not appear in the listing file. ...

Last updated 5 November 2003 by JMD . Last link checked 9 October 2003 by JCB . Data from 191 observations of stars with the ARCES were analyzed to calculate exposure times to reach particular signal-to-noise values for bright standard stars. ... An exponential fit to the data shows pretty good agreement and allows for forecasting to fainter stars beyond the limit of the data set ( V ~ 12). The fit was used to calculate the exposure times in the table below: . ...
