... 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. ...

... Publications with ESO Data . ... The tools have been developed for ESO by a team of astronomers at the Institute for Astro- and Particle Physics at the University of Innsbruck, as part of an in-kind contribution to ESO , which includes as well a model of the sky emission and transmission spectrum at Cerro Paranal. ... Skycorr provides an advanced instrument-independent sky-correction tool that removes sky emission in science spectra by means of sky spectra taken at a different time and sky location....

... Chandra Observation of LMXB in M84 . We present characteristics of the X-ray point source population in the M84 field as observed by Chandra ACIS-S. We find the galactic sources in M84 follow the stellar light profile, which imposes similar formation histories for stars in both single and binary systems. After correcting for incompleteness in the source detection, we find a log N-log S similar to that of the elliptical galaxy NGC4697. ...
