... Chapter 2: The Basics of Phase II Proposals > 2.4 Examples and General Advice . ... First, you have to acquire an object successfully that is at or near the position at which the science observation will be made. ... The object?s coordinates must be both precise and accurate and any proper motion must be known. ... An offset is explicit when you use a Special Requirement such as POS TARG (see POSition TARGet <X-value>,<Y-value> ) to move the telescope away from the position acquired. ...

A typical radio dataset might be a 3-dimensional "cube" named AURORA, with axes RA, DEC and FREQ. ... These can be specified by giving the axis name(s) and grids for each subset. For instance, AURORA specifies the whole 3-dimensional ``cube''; AURORA FREQ 3 specifies the subset FREQ=3 (i.e. the RA-DEC plane at FREQ grid 3) of the set AURORA. ... Specifying only the axis name, and no grids, selects all subsets along that axis: AURORA FREQ selects all RA-DEC planes in AURORA. ... axis centre. ...

The user can supply an external detector map instead (section 7.3.2 ), but the bounds must cover the regions. ... The following sub-sections show examples of usage. ... Example 4: Specifying an external detector map for an extended source . Example 5: Using an RMF dataset to specify the energy grid . ...

The MAST Pointings Tables Pro ject Karen Levay, Paolo Padovani1 , Randall Thompson, Megan Donahue, Michael Corbin Space Telescope Science Institute, 3700 San Martin Drive, Baltimore, MD 21218 Abstract. We have undertaken a pro ject to create a database of all HST imaging observations organized by position on the sky. ... Each sky region was called a "pointing." ... Users select the instrument pointings table they wish to search. ...

TUI supports the following offsets: . Object Arc offset by a given amount on the sky (i.e. along the arc of a great circle). ... Arc offsets are useful for moving a different portion of your object or a different nearby object onto the boresight . ... Object Arc XY this is identical to an Object offset except that it has been rotated to align along the instrument x-y axes. ... This is just like the Calibration XY offset, except that it is typically cleared when you slew to a new object. ...

This function can also be used for particular types of subtypes or kinds: KIND (0) integer KIND (0.0) floating point number KIND (.FALSE.) logical variable KIND ("A") string of characters There is an intrinsic function SELECTED_REAL_KIND , which returns the kind of the type REAL that has a representation with (at least) the precision and the exponential range requested. ... With the choice SELECTED_INT_KIND (5) all integers between (but not including the limits) -100 000 and +100 000 are permitted. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...
