Extracting spectra from a large number of NICMOS grism images requires a convenient interactive tool which allows a user to manipulate direct/grism image pairs. ... NICMOSlook and Calnic-C are two programs that were designed to take advantage of the fact that the NICMOS grism mode typically consists of taking both a direct and a grism image. ...

Next: Airmass Calculation Up: Flux Calibration Previous: Flux Calibration . To calibrate the chromatic response, observations of a standard star (preferably more than one) are needed, for which the absolute fluxes are known. The spectral response curve of the instrument can then be determined with the command RESPONSE/LONG , and absolute fluxes for the objects of interest are obtained with CALIBRATE/FLUX . ...

... User Guide ] Task: gpnorm Purpose: Correct the polarisation leakage terms for an offset. Categories: calibration GpNorm is a MIRIAD task which corrects gains and polarisation leakage tables for XYphase and leakage offsets. ... GpNorm compares the leakage terms with nominally correct terms, and determines an leakage and XY phase offset to add which will minimise the difference between the two sets of leakages. ... No default. Key: cal The data-set containing the nominally correct leakage table. ...

On this page, we describe what the phase correction algorithms set out to do and the framework we have developed to optimally use all of the available information. ... We are developing a Bayesian framework to combine all the information we have about the current and future meterological conditions (which are naturally accommodated as priors in a Bayesian scheme) with detailed physical models of the atmosphere. ...

These are very prominent absorption lines is most all galaxies. ... These pair of absorption lines will appear in all the spectra and they should be your principle source for determining the redshift. ... When this applet opens you will see an iconic representation of galaxies in the left hand side of the applet and a target area in the right side of the applet. ... Note: What you are doing in this excercise is identical to what Hubble did in the 1920's and you are using the same galaxies. ...

... We cannot use for this purpose equivalent widths and profiles of HI lines (well known criteria of atmospheric conditions for normal supergiants), since these lines are strongly distorted in the spectrum of IRAS04296 as seen in Fig. ...

The azimuth encoder rack gear is mounted on the inside of the azimuth ring girder. The azimuth encoder turns on this gear as the azimuth moves 0 to 720 degrees. ... The software assumes that this arc length along the encoder rack gear is correct (at a constant radius of 127/2 feet). The error in the radius of the rack gear becomes an azimuth error. To measure the error in the azimuth encoder rack gear, jon hagen built a proximity sensor. ... To compute the az encoder runout error: . ...

The ESA/ESO Astronomy Exercise Series 2 . The Distance to Messier 100 as Determined by Cepheid Variable Stars . ... The small variations in distance to the individual Cepheid variable stars in the Cloud are negligible compared with the much larger distance to the SMC. ... In this way Cepheid variable stars can be used as one of the 'standard candles' in the Universe that act either as distance indicators themselves or can be used to calibrate (or set the zero point for) other distance indicators. ...
