This diagram illustrates a floating image that overlaps the borders of two paragraphs in normal flow: the paragraph borders are clipped by the non-transparent parts of the image. ... A left-floating image causes the final three lines of the upper paragraph to float along its right side. It causes the first three lines of the following paragraph to do the same, and the remainder of that paragraph flows normally. The paragraph borders shine through the margin area of the image box. ...

... Meta Index / Home Page / Description . Criteria for inclusion of a source in the output list are as follows: . The maximum value of the source ID number is limited by the number of characters allocated to hexadecimal source ID numbers (parameter numhexchar ). The source ID number is a hexadecimal version of the SRC_NUM column. No source is considered for which the ii_CTS value is null for all three EPIC instruments. ...

... casa::Normal . ... Normal ( RNG *gen, Double mean=0.0, Double variance=1.0) . Construct a random number generator for a normal distribution. virtual . ... Returns a value from the normal distribution. virtual Double . ... These function allow you to manipulate the parameters (mean & variance) described above through the base class. virtual Vector < Double > . ... The second and third arguments define the parameters for this distribution as described in the synopsis. virtual casa::Normal::~Normal . ...

... We have simulated the observations of a very distant cluster of galaxies at high redshift. ... The simulations are made for the HST instruments FOC, WFPC II, and the Advanced Camera, and for an 8-m telescope on the ground equipped with adaptive optics. ... A comparison of the fields of view of post-COSTAR HST imaging instruments with the Advanced Camera (AC) and the ground-based adaptive optics camera (AO) is shown in Fig. 1 superimposed on the noise-free cluster simulation. ...

... The procedure of radiometer signal integration can be considered as a sort of reducing dimension of the initial sampling space, where the samples are the result of analog-to-digital conversion. ... The probability distribution of the signal and spikes is completely known. ... The quality of the considered algorithm could be also illustrated by Figure 2 . ... One could see the considered adaptive algorithm is preferable even by low degree of compression, because all spikes have been depressed. ...

... SFIT is a general-purpose code designed to optimize theoretical stellar spectra to an observed spectrum. ... While the programme expects input from "stdio", it is more natural to save commands in a file (eg "sfit_input") and run the code simply by . ... If the spectra to be fitted have a filename "star_spectrum", then the best fit spectrum will be written out, together with the renormalized input spectrum, to a file called "star_spectrum.fit". ... sets up model spectrum grid (and for 2nd star) . ...

... We consider stars with a constant (solar) initial chemical composition. Before the Roche lobe overflow, the components evolve as single stars (see for details LPP96). ... If the mass transfer onto a normal star occurs on a time-scale ten time shorter than the thermal Kelvin-Helmholz time for this star or a compact star is engulfed by a giant companion (e.g. as a result of the kick), the common envelope (CE) stage of the binary evolution is set in (Paczynski 1976). ...
