... COS Data Handbook > Chapter 2: COS Data Files > 2.1 Overview . ... Next, the data are processed through the COS calibration pipeline, calcos , which performs image and spectroscopic reduction to produce output files that can be used directly for scientific analysis (see Chapter 3 for a detailed description of calcos ). ... Since COS reference files are frequently updated, the HST data archive may use different versions depending on the date the datasets are retrieved. ...

... The PPS pipeline is by design not intended to process EPIC or OM exposures performed using non-science modes or filters. ... A typical and rather frequent example of such exposures are the EPIC closed filter calibration exposures . At least one of such exposures in each EPIC camera is normally taken at the beginning of each XMM-Newton orbit. ... These closed filter EPIC calibration exposures represent therefore additional science OM and RGS exposure time. ... Pages maintained by SAS librarian . ...

Next: The ESO VLT CCD Detectors Software . ... Up: Instrument-Specific Software . ... The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... 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. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

Next: Jets Up: M.D. Smith Previous: High-Mass Star Formation Contents . By contrast, stars of low mass like our Sun are formed within molecular clumps. Michael Smith has been investigating the clumps and the individual cores they contain within one nearby cloud near the star Rho Ophiuchi. With Stanke (Hawaii), Khanzadyan (Heidelberg) and Gredel (Calar Alto), he has determined the masses of over 100 protostellar cores and compared this to the distribution of masses for stars. ...
