... especget is a one-stop task which produces all the files necessary for the spectral fitting of an XMM source. ... The essential input parameters are the name of the XMM events table and a selection expression for the source and background areas, e.g. srcexp ="((DETX,DETY) IN circle(572,-635,1340))" . ... These defaults may be further restricted by including additional selections for these quantities in the input expressions, e.g. srcexp="((DETX,DETY) IN circle(572,-635,1340))&& PATTERN==0" . ...

... Figure: Massive binary evolutionary track. ... A short glance to this track is sufficient to understand that there are a lot of evolutionary scenario parameters, which affect different stages of the binary evolution. Fortunately, a very limited number of parameters has effect on the compact binary merging rate. ... The most important (and practically unique) parameter changing the galactic binary NS merging rate is the distribution of an additional (kick) velocity imparted to NS at birth. ...

... We demonstrate through numerical simulations that model parameters estimated with our technique are essentially bias-free, even when the average number of counts per bin is 1. ... The IW technique avoids such biases by estimating through successive iterations, where for each iteration, j, , and the best-fit parameters are determined by minimization of . ... In our sample, we find that the minimum values and best-fit parameters converge after about 6 iterations. ...

... Observers may find that they wish to perform parts of the pipeline reduction again on their data using these tasks. Typical examples will be to re-perform cosmic ray rejection, altering the input parameters or using data from separate datasets, or to perform one-dimensional spectral extraction on long-slit data or to modify the input parameters (e.g., aperture extraction box, or background region) when doing one-dimensional spectral extraction for echelle data. ... Rectify spectral images. ...

... The Boolean object is an object wrapper for a boolean value. ... JavaScript 1.3: added toSource method . ... If value is omitted or is 0, -0, null, false, NaN , undefined, or the empty string ( "" ), the object has an initial value of false. All other values, including any object or the string "false" , create an object with an initial value of true. ... For Boolean objects and values, the built-in toString method returns the string "true" or "false" depending on the value of the boolean object. ...
