In the end, two main regions were chosen for monitoring: stars near Orionis and stars northwest of the belt of Orion. ... The PSPC identified 22 sources within 15 of Orionis in addition to the sources listed in Table 1 , giving a total of 85 X--ray sources in the Orionis region. ...

... 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. ...

... Miriad has a couple of tasks available for finding positions of sources (see also cgcurs in Chapter 17 ). ... It fits a 2-D parabola to the image intensities in a 3 by 3 pixel box centred on the brightest pixel in a specified region and reports the fitted location and intensity. ... Input image . ... The quality of your fit can improve significantly by selecting a snug region, and/or using the clip keyword to keep pixel values with little signal (e.g. sidelobes and noise) out of the fitting process....
