... Analysis of in-orbit data closely follow the CSL data analysis. Stars with known astrometric positions are matched with their image centroids. ... The measured position, the expected position and the offset between the measured and expected positions are calculated and written into a file. ... select catalogued positions for different observations/pointings (e.g. positions of objects in photometric sequence) . ... The new distortion map was generated from in-flight observations of the G153 field. ...

... An OBJECT column gives the name of the object observed (usually a star name). ... In critical cases, it is common practice to measure sky on two or more positions around a target object, and these positions must be identified. ... A general treatment of this problem requires a column called OBJECT, bearing the usual name of the object (as in the star tables); a column labelled STARSKY, to distinguish between star+sky, star alone, or sky alone; and additional columns to identify the sky position. ...

... The J, H and K bands are characterized by a bright background, such a background is mainly due to the emission of atmospheric lines and of thermal radiation. ... If the source cover a large fraction of the slit, spectra off-source must be observed to adequately sample the sky background. ... The on chip integration time (time spent in each position of the slit) must not exceed 40 seconds in J and H bands and 60 seconds in K band. ... We suggest a sequence of 10 for each elementary integration time. ...

... The processing of these associated images presents new challenges to the HST data processing pipelines, which heretofore operated only on single images. ... Stage 1 (CALNICA) calibrates individual exposures without information from other members of the association. ... Stage 2 of calibration (CALNICB) only operates on associated images that have previously gone through CALNICA processing, and creates combined images for each distinct (non-overlapping) pointing within the association. ...

Position Switching Separation Tolerance with Arecibo in L-Band Travis McIntyre The University of New Mexico July 2010 Revised December 2013 Abstract The blocked telescope aperture at Arecibo creates standing waves in the bandpass around 1MHz. ... Test observations with Arecibo in L-Band show that position switching effectively removes standing waves for separations of one half FWHM or less. Standing waves remain for separations of one FWHM, increasing the rms of the baseline by 20%. ...

Observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich E ect toward CL0016+16 at 43 GHz M. Tsuboi et al. Ibaraki University, Japan We performed a mapping observation of the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich e ect toward a distant cluster of galaxies, CL0016+16, at 43 GHz using a newly developed 6-beam SIS receiver installed in the Nobeyama 45-m telescope. The temperature decrement of the cosmic microwave background radiation was measured to be
T  A = 0:490:05 mK at the central position of the cluster. ...

The close position of main satellite and subsatellite (distance between them about 1000 km) and using the similar sets of Faraday cups (VDP and VDP-S) with high resolution measurements (up to 16 Hz for the main satellite and up to 10 Hz for the subsatellite) allow us to determine the small-scale variations of the magnetopause shape and position and to estimate the velocity of the magnetopause motion. ...
