Examples of pipeline processing . ... This page presents examples of "on the fly" processing of FITS astronomical data available on the WEB using the HyperLeda pipeline tools. ... In many cases, raw data are archived and a consisten description of the file (FITS header) allows to process them on the fly. ... This first command makes a "pre-view" display of the image. o=fa:L93111HP1/00147&z=vg . ... The result of a pipeline processing is a FITS file that you can read as a normal disk file. ...

Next: Prior Models Up: Prior Models and the Previous: Bayesian Paradigm . The observed image differs from the true brightness distribution in having been blurred and encountering statistical noise in the recording process. ... Let us describe the noise models. ... This model can be approximated, at least for high brightness values, by the Gaussian distribution . ... The noise model we will use in this paper is Poissonian; see Molina and Ripley (1989) for the use of robust Gaussian noise models. ...

... OM grism data are obtained as image mode data. However the different nature of this type of data, spectra of the objects in the field of view instead of their "sky" image, makes that a special processing must be applied to the grism images. ... They are concatenated in a perl script, omgchain , which works in a similar way to the image and fast mode chains. ... All necessary corrections are applied to the grism data files. ... As we have pointed out OM grism data are image mode data. ...

... Stellar Evolution is driven entirely by the never ending battle between Pressure and Gravity . As imbalances are reached, the star is driven to find a new Energy source. ... Pressure and gravitational forces are equal, the star is stable and its core is sufficiently hot to fuse Hydrogen into Helium More about main sequence stars . ... The luminosity generated by the core fusion of Helium into Carbon is far greater than the shell luminosity associated with the fusion of Hydrogen into Helium. ...

FAMILIES AND SCATTERING . ... An important observation on the orbital distribution of irregular satellites is that satellite families at Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are not well defined. At Jupiter one finds 3-4 reasonably compact retrograde families, corresponding to each of the previously known retrograde irregulars and one prograde family. ... That is contrary to the current doctrine that very little has happened to these irregular satellite families following their collisional formation. ...

Actor Prolog is well adapted for implementation of different methods of visual programming. ... To create a source SADT diagram it is possible to use any diagram tools with IDL format support (like BPwin (TM) PLATINUM technology, Inc. or Design/IDEF (TM) Meta Software Corporation). ... Consequently, Actor Prolog has to create two processes and guarantee the capability of message transmitting between them. ... class 'Receiver': -- entry_i1; value_i1; -- con; -- [ goal:-!. -- show ( _ ) :-!, con ? ...

As another example if running program on MSDOS machine we want to include file msdos.h otherwise a default.h file. ... This is most often used with programs that translate other languages to C. For example, error messages produced by the C compiler can reference the file name and line numbers of the original source files instead of the intermediate C (translated) source files. ...

... One of the most widely used tools of Fourier analysis is the Parseval theorem. It enables the experimentalist to view how the `energy' in the signal is distributed among frequencies. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithms have made power spectra one of the obvious diagnostics tools during data acquisition, and energy maps are a versatile alternative. ... The result is an energy map (Fig. 9), showing the distribution of energy corresponding to the wavelet map (Fig. ...
