Input image for position angle of linear polarization vectors (degrees). poi_err = "" [boolean] . ... Name of corresponding polarization position angle error image (degrees). ... This task is a flexible tool for plotting a polarization vector map from two images of the polarization and the position angle of the polarization vector. ...

The pitch, roll, and focus errors of the telescope (measured and computed in AO9 survey and tilt sensor pitch,roll ) can be corrected by using the tiedowns. ... Tiedown positions to correct the pitch,roll, focus errors versus azimuth for za 2 through 20 degrees. ... The pitch, roll, and focus errors are plotted versus azimuth for za 1 to 20 degrees (the color changes every two degrees) . ... The pitch error is on the top and the roll error is on the bottom. ... The pitch and roll errors versus za. ...

... hstpolima: Reduce linear polarization data for HST instruments (currently FOC, NICMOS and WFPC2 are supported). ... Images for the three Stokes parameters (I,Q and U), the linear polarization and position angle and their error images are output. hstpolpoints: Reduce linear polarization data for HST instruments for a set of circular apertures. ... There is a web page http://www.stecf.org/software/impol/ briefly describing the package and giving example polarization maps for HST and model data. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... NEA Accuracy Estimation . ... The estimation of accuracy of the current CCD observations of asteroids and comets is constantly performed at Pulkovo Observatory. ... The (O-C) values, so called "Observed" minus "Calculated" positions, characterize numerically the observations of any observatory, both professional and amateur, during a short period (one or several close nights). ... So the (O-C) values for these objects nearly entirely define the errors of observations. ...

Collection of the orbital elements | ... The errors of the spacecraft motion extrapolation outside the measuring time interval were estimated by using the comparison of SC positions calclulated by the forward integration ( extrapolation method) and backward integration ( interpolation methods). ... The character of these time shift of the ascending nodes ( D Tn) corresponds to the orbiting period errors, which arise during SC motion extrapolation outside the measuring intervals. ...
