... Read in data: Fill (x, y, count) data records: Binned mode: x,y: image pixel coordinates count: number of events in pixel Single photon mode: x,y: event coordinates count:=1 Feed data records, background maps, and exposure maps into Maximum Likelihood PSF fitting algorithm: Use Marquarth-algorithm to minimize likelihood function of multi-source PSF fit. Remove sources from fit which do not significantly improve goodness of fit (required improvement in likelihood specified by parameter). ...

... This paper describes the main algorithms used by the Einstein Level One processing to create the exposure masks and the background maps for Einstein IPC images, and how these algorithms were recreated in the IRAF environment. Our goal was to recreate the algorithms used by the Level One Processing to create exposure masks and background maps for Einstein Image Proportional Counter (IPC) data (cf. sections 2.5 and 2.7 of Harnden et al. ...

Next: Creation of Sky Up: Additional Processing Previous: Additional Processing . The flat field calibration frame may not have the same illumination pattern as the observations of the sky. In this case when the field field correction is applied to the sky data, instead of being flat there will be gradients in the background. ... Like the flat field frames, the illumination correction frames may be data set dependent and hence there should be an illumination frame for each data set. ...

... As described in "Tabular Storage of STIS Data" on page 20-5 , raw time-tagged Sdata are stored in an event table which contains separate columns for the x and y pixel coordinates and the arrival time of each detected photon event. ... Generate a series of ACCUMulated images from user specified time intervals of data and then process the image(s) with calstis . ... The default behavior for inttag is to accumulate all events from the table, writing the results as one image set in the output FITS file....

In Actor Prolog a resident is a special mechanism that helps processes to inspect state of other processes. A resident observes the state of a specified (target) process and if the state of the process changes (for instance, after message handling) it proves a specified predicate of the process. ... Work of the resident. ... Any change of the list of target processes or arguments of resident function results in activation of the resident and repeated collection of information in the target worlds. ...

... Miriad has a couple of tasks available for finding positions of sources (see also cgcurs in Chapter 17 ). ... It fits a 2-D parabola to the image intensities in a 3 by 3 pixel box centred on the brightest pixel in a specified region and reports the fitted location and intensity. ... Input image . ... The quality of your fit can improve significantly by selecting a snug region, and/or using the clip keyword to keep pixel values with little signal (e.g. sidelobes and noise) out of the fitting process....

The most important directives used to control this MPM are ThreadsPerChild , which controls the number of threads deployed by each child process and MaxClients , which controls the maximum total number of threads that may be launched. ... Two directives set hard limits on the number of active child processes and the number of server threads in a child process, and can only be changed by fully stopping the server and then starting it again. ...
