XMM-Newton Science Analysis System Page: 1 specadd July 1, 2008 Abstract It creates a multiple X-ray spectrum FITS le either by stacking or putting to- gether two single spectrum les or by stacking a single spectrum on top of an existing multiple spectrum le. ... This type of spectral les is particularly useful when the user wants to simultaneously analyse di erent observations of the same object carried out with the same instrument or with di erent instruments. ...

For complete details on the interferometric response of FGS, please see the FGS Instrument Handbook . For other details on the FGS interferometric response, see Section 2.1.2 of the FGS Instrument Handbook. ... The HST Data Handbook is the primary guide for calibration, reduction and analysis of FGS data. ...

... The x-ray spectral analysis consists of a comparison between the observed pulse height spectrum and a pulse height spectrum calculated using a given spectral model. ... To obtain the spectral parameters for an x-ray source, several steps need to be followed. For each source: . ... obtain the best fit parameters for a spectral model - repeated for each model of interest . obtain a 1-D or 2-D grid of values around the best fit values - this can be done for as many models as desired . ...

IBIS Data Analysis . ... IBIS . ... Flat Fielding - Introduction . The images obtained by IBIS will have intensity variations across the field of view that are not due to the solar image, but rather caused by instrumental effects that alter the observed intensity in each point of the field of view. ... IBIS Flat Fielding Techniques . ... Therefore, it is desirable to obtain the flat field measurements center on a point along the equator near the heliographic center of the solar disk. ...

The framework for data calibration and analysis of the VLT instrumentation is presented, based on the concepts of a calibration plan, pipeline calibration, quality control, and archiving of calibrated data for a ground-based observatory. ... Quality Control Pipeline provides quality assessment for instrument performance data and observing conditions, and tests the results of the Reduction Pipeline. ...

... If you have a program to convert data to MIDAS input format, fine. ... All you need to do is cannibalize the part of the existing program that reads the data, and add a short piece of code to re-format the data first as a flat ASCII file, one measurement per line; and then convert this to *.tbl format. ... It's just like the process of creating a program-star table. ... You may decide to write a short MIDAS script to apply your format-conversion program and the edited *.fmt file to each night's data...

Clay minerals show green in this false-color image made with two of the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter's instruments. The region is Nili Fossae, and was shot on October 4, 2006. Features as small as 60 feet (18 meters) are resolved in the multicolor CRISM image, which reveals mineralogy; the HiRISE background topography, taken in 3 colors, shows features as small as 1 foot (30 centimeters) across. ... Reddish areas indicate dunes of sand rich in the mineral olivine. ...
