... Data Analysis SAS News What is SAS? ... The accuracy of the energy cross-calibration of the EPIC-pn camera in different operating modes was determined, using observations of the line-rich supernova remnant (SNR) Cas-A. For the Extended Full Frame (eFF) mode a special energy calibration was performed, which showed an overcorrection of the energy with respect to the Full Frame (FF) mode for the internal calibration source at aluminium and manganese energies. ...

The call for 1-mm Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) proposals to use phased ALMA at Band 6 in Cycle 4, in collaboration with the Event Horizon Telescope Consortium (EHTC), will be released to coincide with the ALMA Cycle 4 Call for Proposals in March 2016...

... This appartus will drop a mass from different heights. When the mass strikes the ground, some percentage of its original energy will be absorbed by the ground. ... The percentage of the energy which is absorbed by the surface on each "bounce" (EAS) . ... The impact velocity of the object will also be given at each bounce. ... Start= Drop the ball after Energy, Mass and EAS have been set; resume after step or pause has been selected . ... Reset = Reset experiment to intial values . ...

... The amount of energy encircled by an aperture used for stellar photometry will depend on both the aperture size, and also on any variations in the PSF with field position, time, etc. ... The differences in photometric magnitude between apertures with various radii (i.e. aperture corrections), and their mean and standard deviations for the F555W filter, are presented in Table 5.5 . ... Variations in the PSF with field position will, of course, cause a position dependence in the aperture corrections. ...

On,off position switching is done to remove standing waves from the resulting spectra. ... 1,5,10,20,25,50,100 samples corresponding to great circle angular offsets of .004,.02,.04,.07,.09,.18, and .35 degrees. ... Page 1: rms vs great circle offset. ... Page 2: rms vs little circle offset. ... The rms increase correlates better with great rather than little circle offsets. the 1 usec standing wave starts to be seen in the .07 degree offsets. a .9 usec standing wave is seen at .35 degrees offset. ...

... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . ... The low-resolution, Cassegrain mounted, FORS spectropolarimeter of the ESO Very Large Telescope is being extensively used for magnetic field surveys. Some of the new discoveries suggest that relatively strong magnetic fields may play an important role in numerous physical phenomena observed in the atmospheres as well as in the circumstellar environments of certain kinds of stars. ...

... Imaging of the core of the OMC-1 region using NICMOS camera 2 through the F212N and F215N filters shows a wide variety of interesting structure on scales of 0.2" at a very high dynamic range (Stolovy et al. ... The application of image restoration techniques, including multi-channel variants of the Richardson-Lucy technique, offers the chance to enhance structure on the finest scales and also to suppress the prominent and richly structured point-spread functions of the many bright stars in the...

... Previous: Calibration with the ISOPHOT Interactive Analysis (PIA) . ... This article is devoted to a description of the image processing capabilities of PIA, on the basis of the different mapping strategies with ISOPHOT. ... As input for mapping processing, PIA uses ISOPHOT data which has been reduced to the level of sky brightness (in MJy/sr) for each raster (and chopper) step and per detector pixel, together with the associated pointing information per raster point. ...

... the time of observation . ... Observing the Changing Position of the Sun To Establish Cardinal Directions . ... Observations of the Sun's apparent movement across the sky and its pattern of rising and setting in the east and west horizon helped to establish the cardinal directions. ... The final stage of the Sun's return was marked by the observation that the Sun had reached its highest altitude when the full width of your mitted hand could fill the gap between the Sun and the horizon. ...
