... Bad Astronomy . ... Bad Astronomy : The Moon appears larger on the horizon than overhead because you are comparing it to foreground objects. Good astronomy : The Moon does appear larger on the horizon, but it is because of the way we perceive the sky. ... The most common misconception is that it is because you are unconsciously comparing the Moon to foreground objects like trees and houses, or even the horizon itself, and that makes the Moon look bigger than when it is all alone in the sky. ...

LBA Disk Recorder Header Format DRAFT ATNF eVLBI Memo #3 Chris Phillips November 15, 2005 1 Introduction The LBA disk recorders currently use a very minimal header for recoded data files (a 16 byte string indicating the start time of the first data sample in the file). ... 2 Header Format The header will consist of a 4096 byte block of ASCII characters. ... Note that if a larger that 4096 byte header is used, the headersize keyword must be within the first 4096 bytes. ...

... For scheduling purposes, the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission has been divided into phases corresponding to proposal cycles. Phase 1 lasted from 1991 April, through 1992 November, and constituted the first complete survey of the gamma-ray sky. ... Viewing periods have lasted from a few days to three weeks. ... In most cases, the gaps between viewing periods are a few hours, the time needed to re-point and stabilize the Compton Observatory. ...

Instrument Science Report WFC3 2004-09 Preliminary Assessment of Image Persistence in the WFC3 UVIS CCD Detector G. F. Hartig and S. Baggett 16 April 2004 ABSTRACT We have performed an initial assessment of the level of residual image persistence in the WFC3 UVIS CCD flight detectors. ... Highly saturated point source image at field point UV14 at 350 nm (left) and 100 s dark (right) at the same detector location, approximately 4 minutes later, showing no indication of image persistence. ...

Next: Model Spectra for Spectral-Fitting Up: Spectral Analysis Previous: A Quick Look at . ... For ROSAT PSPC data, this conversion is done during the on-line (SASS) processing. For IPC observations, the instrument gain varies both across the detector and in time, and is applied during off-line processing (PROS) using the BAL histogram. By default, spectra are extracted in PI bins for PSPC data and in PHA bins for IPC data. ... Special techniques are required when using Einstein IPC data. ...
