... 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....

Next: *upspecrdf, downspecrdf* - Transform Up: Spectral Analysis Previous: *grid_plot* - Plot Results . The conversion of count rate to flux depends on the intrinsic spectrum of the source, so xflux must be used in conjunction with fit . Fit generates a table of the best fit intrinsic spectrum ( _int.tab extension). xflux uses this table to calculate either the integrated flux between two energy limits or the flux density at a specific energy. ... This produces ``..._obs.tab'' file. ...

ALMA | ... In this section, we explain why we need to correct phase fluctuations and ALMA's strategy to do this. Rapid fluctuations will be corrected with water vapour radiometers (WVRs). The Cavendish Astrophysics Group was also a leading contributor to the ALMA prototype WVRs, which were put through their paces in tests at the Submillimeter Array (SMA). ... The Cavendish Astrophysics Group in partnership with the Onsala Space Observatory built two prototype WVRs for the ALMA project. ...

MyMidiGui is an IDL wrapper for some of the MIA and EWS routines which was originally written to support MIDI data analysis during service mode observations on Paranal. Since the first release ( Version 0.2 ), MyMidiGui has been extensively revised and integrated into the OYSTER environment. This enables easier plotting and analysis of MIDI data with OYSTER after having been reduced using MIA+EWS. The MyMidiGui major version numbers correspond to the compatible versions of MIA+EWS . ...

... The files here will change whenever we have a new beta version that has had an error-free telescope run. ... A few things to note, however, about this "beta" edition: There is almost no error checking on the operation of the filter wheel. ... CCDops has better error checking than XmCCD, so if you have a Windows computer available, check your camera with CCDops when you use it for the first time. ... I have a built-in fixed delay to inhibit multiple requests too fast for the wheel. ...
