... The motivation for this task is to create one high resolution response matrix for a set of observations without the need for creating individual high resolution matrices. ... This task creates a single response matrix file using information from a list of spectrum from multiple observations, and can also combine spectra and background spectra of the same instrument and spectral order to produce final files that can be used for futher, quantitative analysis in a fitting package such as Xspec. ...

... 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 . ...

... Astrophysics Group . ... VSA . ... CAT . ... The Very Small Array is a custom-built radio telescope (operating between 26-36 GHz), designed expressly to make high resolution observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation on angular scales around and below one degree. ... The VSA has been operated in ?compact array? and ?extended array? configurations (see the technical description below) and data collected to achieve high sensitivity in both regimes have been analysed. ... 1.75 GHz)...

... In addition to detailed studies of individual galaxies like NGC 253 (Koribalski, Whiteoak & Houghton 1995), NGC 1808 (Koribalski, Dickey & Mebold 1993; Koribalski 1993), NGC 4945 (Ables et al. 1987; Ott 1995), and Circinus (K. Jones et al. 1996, in prep.; ... Because of the high angular resolution ( 6) the H I emission is resolved out in most cases and only H I absorption against the strongest background sources is detected. ... Figure: (top) H I distribution of the starburst galaxy NGC 253. ...

Next: IPCS observations and data Up: Spectral survey of Case Previous: The sample description . The observations were carried out with the 6m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory of Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS) in the period from December 1992 to October 1996. ... 1986 ]). Since January 1996 we used for registration Tektronix CCD 1024 1024 provided by Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP, Germany) in the frame of mutual cooperation between AIP and SAO RAS. ...

... The technology needed to implement a Distributed Astronomical Data Archive (DADA) is available today (e.g., Fullton 1993). Query interface standards are needed, however, before the DADA information will be discoverable. ... These parameters would be used to index each dataset in each catalog. ... The technology is available today to perform cross-catalog queries, to fetch the data at the click of a mouse, quickly to add new observation catalogs, and to distribute the load across multiple machines. ...

Orbit . ... The orbit of the RadioAstron provides four types of study: . rough images of radio sources with ultra-high angular resolution, using all baselines up to the radius of the apogee, that is much larger than Earth diameter; . ... high quality imaging of radio sources, with moderate resolution, by observing either with small projected base lines Earth-spacecraft, i.e. close to the orbital plane, or near the perigee. ... high accuracy orbit determination. ... Space Radio Telescope . ...

RTT150 . Russian-Turkish 1.5-m Telescope . ... Until 2002 observations were mostly performed with ST-8E CCD in the 1:7.7 Cassegrain focus. ... In April, 2003 telescope was equipped with a larger-size CCD Andor DW436 . ... 2048 x 2048 pixels, . ... Since summer of 2002 the main focal detector of the RTT150 telescope was AP47p CCD in 1:7.7 Cassegrain focus. ... During September 3-13, 2002 works on installation of new autoguiding system ( photo 1 ) were carried out on RTT150 telescope. ...

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. ...

Beginning from the May of the 1997 we started to publish our daily solar radio observations at RATAN-600 radiotelescope. ... Periscope System: South Sector+Flat Mirror . ... It is possible to track a source by moving the secondary mirror along the arc-shaped railway tracks or to perform azimuthal 2D map synthesis . ... 1) It is possible to simultaneously carry out independent observing programs using individual sectors at various discrete azimuths and secondary mirrors on corresponding railway tracks. ...
