... rgsspectrum creates an OGIP-compliant spectrum of counts for a single RGS exposure. ... background-corrected source spectrum . ... Note that although the spatial selection region for the background spectrum is not source-specific, the energy selection region is source-specific, and for this reason the background spectrum is technically source-specific. ... The above description of the BACKSCAL column applies only to Spectroscopy mode data; in HTR mode this column has nothing to do with exposure. ...

... The analysis and reduction of the STIS flanking fields proceeded in similar fashion as for the imaging of the Main STIS Field. ... The DARK calibration reference file used in the CALSTIS data reduction steps was constructed using a 'delta-dark' image appropriate for the epoch of the flanking field observations. ... DRIZZLE drop-size used for the flanking fields was a "pixfrac" of 0.8. ... For information on the data reduction, please read first the technical information for the Main WFPC2 Field . ...

... A technique allowing automatic representation by a relatively small number of independent parameters based on the principal component analysis of data sequences is presented. ... In recent years the spectrum of observed astronomical data can be characterized as greatly varied. ... In this instance, the problem of initial description and classification of newly-observed data becomes most urgent, especially if there is a lack of preliminary observational material and theoretical expectations. ...

This diagram shows the six superimposed "layers" of the CSS table model. This diagram illustrates the algorithm for calculating a cell's final background. ... The diagram shows how, looking down on the six rectangles, one may compute the background color of each cell. ... A cell without a background color in the top layer is depicted as a "window" onto the lower layers, which give its final background color. ...

The VLTI Calibrator Selector Tool is a tool intended to assist in the selection of suitable interferometric calibrators for VLTI observations with MIDI and AMBER. It uses a model of the VLTI and its instruments to assess the fringe visibility, given the observed bandpass, the geometry, spectrum, and coordinates of the target and the time at which the observations are to be made. ... The tool offers an HTML/Java based interface and consists of two pages. ... The quality flag depends on LDD_chi2. ...

... Microlocal Analysis is a theory of Pseudo-Differential Operators and Fourier Integral Operators (PDOs and FIOs). ... Microlocal analysis comes in few flavors. ... We will consider semi-classical PDOs and FIOs: one can always get from there to standard PDOs and FIOs but semi-classical theory has more applications. Less formal description of (semi-classical) microlocal analysis is ``a semi-classical limit of quantum mechanics'' or ``high-frequency limit of electrodynamics'' (etc). ...

Each file type known to SAOtng can have user-defined analysis commands associated with it. ... A help line describing the file types . ... For example, the default analysis file currently contains the following: # # Analysis command descriptions: # help # file templates # file types # analysis command line counts -- number of events in region (no background) *.qp *.imh QPOE IMH uiraf '${xraybin}'/x_xspatial.e imcnts source='${filename}' region=$sregion bkgd=0 table=NONE | ...

... The distinction of our approach is in that we unite the Actor Prolog concurrent ob ject-oriented logic language [ 1,2,3] with the Structural Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) diagrams to obtain new issues in the following areas: 1. ... Graphic user interface management. ... The individual blocks of visual user interface based on the SADT diagrams are implemented by using parallel processes of Actor Prolog. ...

... It turns out one possibility is a form of matter/energy invented by Einstein in the 1920s to make sure his equations of General Relativity did not predict the Expansion of the Universe. Although Einstein was willing to predict several things with his equations of General Relativity, he obviously thought an expanding Universe was too much, and so he invented the Cosmological Constant, which repels itself, and was meant to balance the force of gravity, and make the Universe static. ...

Courtesy of NASA's National Space Science Data Center . ... Venera 5 was launched from a Tyazheliy Sputnik (69-001C) towards Venus to obtain atmospheric data. The spacecraft was very similar to Venera 4, although it was of a stronger design. When the atmosphere of Venus was approached, a capsule weighing 405 kg and containing scientific instruments was jettisoned from the main spacecraft. During satellite descent towards the surface of Venus, a parachute opened to slow the rate of descent. ...

... This is possible at modest cost due to the low moments of inertia of the telescope and enclosure. ...
