... The initial descriptions of the FITS format provided a simplified method for describing the physical coordinate values of the image pixels, but deliberately did not specify any of the detailed conventions required to convey the complexities of actual image projections. ... They were CRPIX n for the reference pixel location on pixel axis n , CRVAL n for the coordinate value at that pixel, CDELT n for the increment at that pixel in the coordinate value, and CTYPE n for the type of coordinate. ...

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 visible power a source emits in all directions is measured in lumens. ... Solid Angle- . ... The solid angle of a light cone is the projected area of the cone divided by the total surface area of the sphere. A solid angle is measured in steradians, where 1 steradian corresponds to the solid angle su btended by a cone of unit slant height and unit projected area. ... Luminous intensity is the flow of luminous energy, or lumens, per steradian. ... This is the rate of flow (lumens) per unit area. ...

... Up: Description of program searchdup Previous: Program use . Input records are ordered per date of observation, and the list of known (observed) sources is cleared. Each record is compared in position to all the known sources. If the sky distance is less or equal to the specified one, the record is added to the list of observations for that source. If no known sources are within the specified radius, a new source is created, with the coordinates of the observation record. ...

... Restrictions ) are used. If specified form of output is EMP then astrometric equatorial coordinates are printed in the form usual for Ephemerides of Minor Planets, with formal precision of 0.01 minute of time in R.A. and 0.1 minute of arc in declination. ... It should be noted that the near-opposition ephemerides are not calculated for bodies/ points with numbers from –12 to 0 (in case they are included into task for computation of such ephemerides only their names are displayed in the results). ...

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of a computer client or server to another server or reference time source, such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. ...
