... Data . ... HST Overview . ... Cycle 24 Announcement . ... There are various sources of uncertainties when performing photometry with NICMOS that could affect the final accuracy of the measurements. In the following, several systematic uncertainties and special cases are mentioned. ... In summary, the accuracy of the absolute spectral energy distribution of NICMOS primary standards introduces a systematic uncertainty of about 2% - 3% in the absolute calibration of the filters. = 2.0 ?m) in NIC3. ...

... 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. ...

... 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. ...

Following are instructions to build and install the programs in this distribution. Make sure that you have all necessary tools for building executables. ... The automatic build process expects a configuration file called Config.local . ... The configuration file specifies the directory in which to install the binaries, as well as control over the generation of debugging code and reference clock support. ... Cleans out object files, programs and temporary files. make distclean . ...

Next: Observatory table Up: Star tables Previous: Multiple star files . Some standard-star files are supplied for the UBVRI and uvby-H-Beta systems. ... You can also make new tables of standard stars. The easiest way to make standard-star tables is to begin as though they were program-star tables, but to include columns of standard values in the ASCII file, and field descriptions for them in the format file, before running MAKE/STARTABLE . ...

This will only be implemented at a later time, if in-orbit experience warrants it. rgso setcalc accepts a list of DIAGNOSTIC datasets (refer to the ODF ICD [1]. For each DIAGNOSTIC dataset rgso setcalc calculates the mean and standard deviation of the pulse height distribution. ...

... Oke (AJ, 99, 1621, 1990) has provided absolute spectral energy distributions covering the wavelength range 3200 to 9200A in AB magnitudes for 25 stars. ... The reduced magnitudes are tabulated at 1A intervals from 3300 to 4700A and at 2A intervals from 4700 to 9200A. Comparison of the fluxes with those determined elsewhere showed that Oke's absolute magnitudes are systematically brighter by 0.04 mag. The magnitudes and fluxes plotted have been corrected for this effect. ...
