HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE DAILY REPORT #1545 PERIOD COVERED: 0000Z (UTC) 01/02/96 - 0000Z (UTC) 01/03/96 Daily Status Report as of 003/0000Z 1.0 ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED AND ACCOMPLISHED: 1.1 Completed Five Sets of GHRS/1 6171 (CRIMP1: Cycle 5 = Condensed-Regimen Integrated Monitoring Program) The High Resolution Spectrograph (Side One) was used to obtain = darks, internal flats (in photoscan mode), wavelength calibrations and = observations of standard star BD+28D4211. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

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 ]. ...

... There are compelling reasons for the pulsar community to utilise a standard data storage format. For example, standardisation of file formats significantly decreases the amount of effort required to integrate new instruments into the analysis chain. ... Accordingly, we have defined PSRFITS as a standard FITS-based format for pulsar data files. ... For example, the first line of Processing History HDU contains information about the data acquisition program and the initial structure of the file. ...

... Using UNIX System Calls and Library Functions . ... To use system calls and library functions in a C program we simply call the appropriate C function. Examples of standard library functions we have met include the higher level I/O functions -- fprintf() , malloc() .. ... For most system calls and library functions we have to include an appropriate header file. e.g. stdio.h, math.h . ... Information on nearly all system calls and library functions is available in manual pages. ...

... Science Users Information > Data Handling and Products > Data Reduction FAQ > Why are my spectra not flux calibrated, even though there are standard star observations in the data set? ... Observing with ESO Telescopes . ... ESO-MIDAS . ... Data Handling and Products . ... Data Pipelines and Calibrations . ... ESO Data . ... ESO Data Access Policy . ... If there is no reference table for the flux standard star no response curve is created and therefore the science data are not flux-calibrated. ...
