Repeatability of the FOS G130H Grating External Wavelength Zeropoint Anuradha Koratkar and Ian Evans Space Telescope Science Institute Instrument Science Report CAL/FOS-142 May 1995 Abstract Measurements of the position of the geo-coronal Ly are used to determine the repeatability of the G130H grating and the external wavelength zeropoint for the first time since launch. ... The 1 repeatability of the wavelength calibration is 0.159е or 0.64 pixels or 39 kms-1. ...

... The processing of these associated images presents new challenges to the HST data processing pipelines, which heretofore operated only on single images. ... Stage 1 (CALNICA) calibrates individual exposures without information from other members of the association. ... Stage 2 of calibration (CALNICB) only operates on associated images that have previously gone through CALNICA processing, and creates combined images for each distinct (non-overlapping) pointing within the association. ...

SN 1989B Light Curve Analysis. ... In the light curve depicting their observations, definite trends are noted, here is a "thumb-nail" analysis of the the magnitude estimations of the bright SN (1989B) in the galaxy NGC 3627 (M66). ... The observations were inserted against the V magnitude templete of BL, CCD photometric data, (Wells et. al, (1994) and a color trend (B-V) histogram of the mean type Ia SN (BL)(nutemp.gif). Key Words: Amateur Observations, Supernova, Magnitude Estimates, 1989B . ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract MOS spectra of a point-like source observed in Imaging mode and to create associated response matrices, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with emproc or available as PPS product; here it has the assumed file name MOS.fits ). ... The users should note that the SAS metatask xmmselect allows them to interactively define source and background regions (via ds9) and to run backscale on the fly. ...

... Determining the nominal roll angle for stable intervals . ... We found the necessary information in a file 'rh*.ao', which has a binary extension table for each obi. ... Unlike the question of determining the nominal roll angle, we know of no a priori indication of this problem (although the guide star configuration may be the cause, or at least associated with this condition): it is necessary to examine the source position for each obi. ... The guide star record is at the end of the 'anc file'. ...
