The determination of the detector parameters is based on sets of images of a spatially uniform-illumination scene (flatfield frames) and without any illumination (dark frames), putting a plug in place of the filter, taken at a series of exposure times. ... We interleave before and after each exposure time in the series of flatfield frames a set of reference images at an exposure time of 1 sec to determine the possible temporal variation of the illumination level. ...

Static Fourier spectrometers are often used for spectral measurements of the ionosphere emissions. There are two main advantages of Fourier spectrometers (FS) - large geometric factor and high spectral resolution; these parameters are two orders better than for grating spectral instruments. ... In scanning Fourier spectrometer optical and electric modulation of signal is used to avoid this problem, for static Fourier spectrometer there are no such ways. ...

Next: Other parameters of the Up: The Model Previous: Initial binary parameters . As we only deal with initially massive binary systems (their primary's mass is higher than 10 ), which are capable of evolving off the main sequence during less than years, the compact stars left behind stellar evolution are (in the case of the most massive stars) NSs and BHs. ... For a NS belonging to a binary, the evolution complicates as the secondary star evolves: for example, (recycling), etc. ...
